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.

We absolutely love this place, your in an out, and the people that work here are absolutely amazing always very professional.. Ivy received her braces today, she’s absolutely loving every minute of them, she can’t wait to see the results, thanks again for treating our daughter great, we appreciate you all!
The office is quick and efficient. The staff took great care of my kids as they were getting their braces on.
Such a wonderful experience ! Everyone there is so kind, excellent patient care ! My kiddo was very anxious about getting a palate expander and braces. From the moment we walked in we were always greeted with a kind and welcoming smile. The hygienist always explained everything to us and made sure my daughter was comfortable. The Dr is wonderful, quick and efficient. He always made a point to talk to my other kiddo when I had to bring her with us. The appointments are fast and they make everything so easy. We have never had to wait past our appointment times. The office is very clean and welcoming. I will ALWAYS recommend them for orthodontic care.
Everything was done very professionally and staff were pleasant to work with and everything was explained clearly. Just the whole experience was great and very friendly and my grandson felt safe and comfortable with the experience about getting braces.
If orthodontists had loyalty programs, I’m pretty sure my family would qualify for platinum status by now.Over the years, four of my children have been patients at Copus Orthodontics. Between traditional braces for some and Invisalign for the most recent round, we have experienced just about everything orthodontics has to offer. And yes—if I add it all up, I’m probably somewhere around $24,000+ invested in my children’s smiles.Worth it? Absolutely.What makes this office special is the team. They are accommodating, efficient, and incredibly thorough. They take the time to explain everything clearly and genuinely build relationships with the families they serve.And here’s the real testament: we drive an hour and a half to get to this office. Even with my completely unreasonable schedule, they have always worked with us and made every visit smooth.After years of appointments, adjustments, trays, wires, and rubber bands, my kids now have beautiful smiles—and we’ve always felt well cared for along the way.If you’re considering an orthodontist, start here. In my opinion, choosing anyone else would be a travesty - and long term disappointment.

Common Questions About Braces
Which type of braces is most effective?
Both metal and ceramic braces are highly effective. Metal braces are often recommended for more significant structural changes due to their exceptional durability, while ceramic braces are ideal for those prioritizing aesthetics.
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.
