Braces, Personalized for Your Smile
Braces remain one of the most reliable ways to straighten teeth and correct a bite, and today's brackets are smaller and more comfortable than the ones many parents remember. At Hart Family Orthodontics, our board-certified orthodontists plan and place every case at our Albertville and Buffalo offices. Braces for a child, a teen, or an adult all begin the same way, with a free consultation and an honest recommendation about what your smile needs.
Types of Braces We Offer
Our orthodontists will help you choose the option that fits your case, your look, and your budget.
Traditional Metal braces use durable stainless steel brackets and a wire that guides your teeth into place. They give our orthodontists excellent control for complex cases and are often the most affordable choice. Patients can also choose new elastic colors at each visit, adding a little extra fun and personality to their treatment!
What to Expect With Braces
Your first visit is a free consultation. Our expert orthodontists will examine your teeth and bite, review your options, and, if braces are the right fit, schedule your bonding appointment. Placing braces takes about an hour and is painless. After that, you will come in every six to eight weeks for a quick adjustment, and most patients finish in about 12 to 24 months. When treatment is done, a retainer keeps your new smile in place.
Who Braces Can Help
Braces work for a wide range of cases, including crowding, gaps, overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite. They are a good fit for kids, teens, and adults, and they remain highly recommended for many complex cases. Some patients are also good candidates for clear aligners. At your free consultation, our expert orthodontists will walk through your options and give you a straight recommendation.
How Much Do Braces Cost in Albertville and Buffalo?
Braces treatment typically ranges from $4,000–$7,500, depending on your needs—from limited treatment for smaller adjustments to comprehensive treatment that addresses your overall smile and bite. At your free consultation, we’ll explain your treatment options and provide a clear estimate before treatment begins. We also offer flexible monthly payment plans, accept most major insurance plans with orthodontic benefits, and help you file your claims.
