Stainless steel brackets are what most orthodontists offer and what have been used since the 1980s. They are cemented onto each individual tooth with bonding material and linked together with metal wires. American Orthodontics is our exclusive provider of metal brackets. Those who are treated with traditional metal brackets, have their braces placed using the Digital Indirect Bonding System (DIBS) which uses AI to determine the placement of brackets onto the teeth.

Patients looking for a discreet alternative to Louisville braces can choose from clear aligners such as Invisalign and Spark. These nearly invisible trays offer comfort, flexibility, and convenience while gradually straightening your teeth.

According to the American Association of Orthodontists, children should have an orthodontic evaluation by age seven. Early treatment helps guide proper jaw development and prevents more serious orthodontic issues later in life.

Orthodontic treatment isn’t just for kids and teens. More adults than ever are choosing to straighten their teeth for improved oral health and aesthetics. Whether you prefer braces in Louisville or clear aligners, we offer treatment options that fit busy lifestyles.

After completing treatment, retainers play a crucial role in maintaining your results. We provide multiple types of retainers to keep your smile looking perfect for years to come. Be sure to check out our Smile Protect Plan which covers your retainers for life.

Treatment length varies based on individual needs. On average, Louisville braces or clear aligners take between 12 to 24 months to achieve the desired results.

For mild to moderate cases, clear aligners can be just as effective as traditional braces. More complex cases may require braces for better control over tooth movement.
