At Copus Orthodontics, we provide several proven methods to align your teeth and improve your oral health. While metal braces remain a common choice, modern advancements offer more discreet options. Dr. Copus will help you select the most reliable treatment for your specific clinical needs.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces offer the same clinical excellence as metal braces but with a more discreet appearance. They are a popular choice for adults and teens who prefer a less noticeable treatment.
-
Materials: The brackets are made of a translucent ceramic material that blends with the natural color of your teeth.
-
Durability: While highly effective, ceramic brackets are slightly more delicate than metal.
-
Maintenance: The brackets themselves do not stain, but the clear elastic ties can discolor between visits. We replace these ties at each appointment to keep your appliance looking fresh.
Metal Braces
Metal braces are a reliable and economical solution for patients of all ages. Modern metal braces are smaller, lighter, and more comfortable than those used in the past.
- How They Work: High-grade stainless steel brackets are bonded to the front of your teeth. A thin, flexible arch wire is threaded through the brackets to guide your teeth into the correct position with steady, measured pressure.
- Customization: While the brackets are silver, patients can choose colorful elastic bands to personalize their look during their regular appointments.
Types of Braces Reviews
We had such a wonderful experience at Copus Orthodontics! The scheduling process was very smooth. Chelsea and Dr. Copus were so efficient working together as a team. My son wasn’t looking forward to getting his braces but they were so kind and friendly that made him feel much more at ease about it. Overall 5/5 star review! ✨
Everyone was very friendly, and they got me in on a cancellation. So my braces are going to be ready very soon. Very happy with everything!
We have been here a few times for check ups before needing braces, staff is very friendly, always greeted with smiles, and doctor is great and explains everything
Dr Copus and his staff have been amazing over the past 2.5 years, my daughter got her braces off today and her teeth look absolutely beautiful!! From the cleanliness off the office to the care she received , I wouldn’t recommend any other Provider. I will be taking my other children here if they ever need orthodontic care! Thank you Dr. Copus and staff for a truly wonderful experience!
Went in for a braces consultation for my daughter Kaydence. Allison was great! Doctor Copus was very informative and we are excited to start her journey to a more beautiful smile!

How long does treatment usually take?
The duration of your treatment is based on your unique dental structure and goals. On average, most patients wear braces for 12 to 24 months. We will provide a precise timeline after your initial evaluation.
Are braces painful?
Generally, braces are not painful, but you may feel some pressure or minor soreness for a few days after your braces are placed or adjusted. This is a normal sign that the treatment is working. We ensure your comfort by using the latest technology to move teeth efficiently.
