Straighten your smile with braces designed to fix multiple issues comfortably and discreetly.
Achieving a straight, confident smile doesn’t have to mean settling for metal brackets that dominate every photo and conversation. Braces have evolved far beyond the bulky appliances of the past, and today’s options blend seamlessly into your daily life while delivering precise results. Whether you’re correcting bite issues, closing gaps, or aligning crowded teeth, modern orthodontics provides solutions tailored to your lifestyle and aesthetic preferences.
At Ponce Dental Studio in Buckhead, we understand that orthodontic treatment is a significant commitment, which is why we prioritize transparency, comfort, and cutting-edge technology throughout your journey. Our AI-driven diagnostic tools and in-house lab capabilities mean you’ll receive personalized care from start to finish, all while enjoying competitive pricing and flexible financing options.
Traditional metal braces remain the most common choice, using stainless steel brackets and wires to shift teeth into their proper positions gradually. These time-tested appliances work efficiently for complex cases and offer the most cost-effective solution. Clear braces provide a more discreet alternative, featuring tooth-colored or clear ceramic brackets that blend naturally with your smile. They function identically to metal braces but with less visual impact.
For patients seeking maximum flexibility, Invisalign offers removable clear aligners that allow you to eat, brush, and floss without restrictions. These custom-made trays shift teeth incrementally and can be removed for special occasions, though they require discipline to wear for 20-22 hours daily.

Treatment duration varies significantly based on the complexity of your case and the type of braces you choose. Most patients wear braces between 18 and 24 months, though simpler corrections may take as little as 12 months. Severe alignment issues, significant bite problems, or extensive tooth movement can extend treatment to 30 months or longer.
Your commitment to following orthodontic instructions directly impacts how quickly you’ll see results. Missing appointments, neglecting oral hygiene, or failing to wear rubber bands as directed can add months to your treatment timeline. At Ponce Dental Studio, our digital impressions and AI technology help us map your treatment plan with precision, giving you a realistic estimate from day one.
Getting braces involves several stages, starting with a comprehensive consultation and diagnostic imaging. We’ll use digital scanning technology to create detailed 3D models of your teeth, eliminating the need for uncomfortable putty impressions.
During this visit, we’ll carefully attach brackets to each tooth using dental-grade adhesive, then thread archwires through the brackets to begin applying gentle pressure. You may experience some soreness for the first few days as your teeth start to shift.
The initial adjustment period includes:
After placement, you’ll return for adjustment appointments every four to eight weeks. During these visits, we’ll tighten wires, replace elastic bands, and monitor your progress. Our team will provide detailed care instructions and answer any questions to keep your treatment on track.
Braces cause discomfort rather than actual pain, and most patients adjust within a few days of each appointment. When brackets are first placed or wires are tightened, your teeth may feel tender as they begin moving. This sensation typically peaks within 24 to 48 hours and gradually subsides. Over-the-counter pain relievers and eating soft foods during this period provide adequate relief for most people.
The brackets themselves may rub against the inside of your cheeks or lips during the first week, creating minor irritation. Orthodontic wax solves this problem by creating a smooth barrier between the metal and your soft tissues. As your mouth toughens and adapts, this irritation disappears naturally. Any significant or persistent pain should be reported to your orthodontist immediately, as it may indicate a problem requiring adjustment.
Orthodontic treatment represents a substantial investment in your oral health and confidence, with costs varying based on several factors. Traditional metal braces typically cost between $3,000 and $7,000. In contrast, ceramic or clear braces may cost between $4,000 and $8,000 due to their aesthetic materials. Clear aligners like Invisalign often fall in the $3,500 to $8,000 range, depending on the complexity of your case and treatment duration.
At Ponce Dental Studio, we believe in complete price transparency, which is why we provide precise estimates before you commit to treatment. We’re fully networked with Delta Dental, Principal, and Ameritas, allowing us to offer reduced rates to insured patients. According to the American Association of Orthodontists, investing in orthodontic treatment can significantly improve dental health and quality of life.
