Let’s chat about your options!
Modern Braces Thoughtfully Planned Comfort
Forget everything you think you know about traditional braces! We proudly provide the Damon system, which uses low-force, low-friction technology. This means the pressure on your teeth is gentle and steady, often leading to a more comfortable experience and potentially shorter treatment times. It’s an innovative approach that we offer to make your smile journey much simpler.
Metal Braces vs Clear Braces
Choosing the right kind of braces is an easy decision when you have all the facts. We offer two great options:
- Damon Metal Braces: These are smaller and lower-profile than older metal braces. They use an advanced "self-ligating" technology, meaning there's no need for elastic ties, which helps them work gently to move your teeth.
- Damon Clear Braces: These give you all the benefits of the Damon system but in a much more discreet way. The brackets are clear and blend into your teeth, so people might not even notice you're wearing braces! This is a great choice if you want a less noticeable orthodontic treatment.
We can help you decide which option is best during your consultation.
Braces Reviews
Great team! straight to the point and in-out in no time for my first consultation and braces on!
Logan L was amazing when we went to get my son braces off. They have been the best through his whole treatment! We love Soni and Snipes
We are super pleased with Soni! We are currently on our 3rd child going through braces and the care and over all outcome has been fantastic! My children have stunning smiles ages 22, 17, 11 The payment plan options made a huge difference in being able to ensure they had beautiful, healthy smiles
The doctors and staff are incredible at Soni & Snipes! I'm an older patient and just needed some slight adjustments. My teeth look fantastic and I always felt I received the best care during my visits. My kids saw Dr Snipes for their braces and he was great then. Still is!! I highly recommend this awesome orthodontic practice!!
I have nothing but great things to say about all of the staff and care my son received with his braces journey. We were always kept well informed and any questions or concerns were addressed with care. My son’s teeth look amazing!

Frequently Asked Questions
Are braces painful? How do I ease the soreness?
Generally speaking, braces aren’t painful, but it’s completely normal to feel a little soreness or discomfort right after you get them, and sometimes after adjustments. This is temporary! You can easily relieve this by rinsing with a warm saltwater solution or taking an over-the-counter pain reliever. We’ll also give you dental wax that can help ease any irritation on your lips, cheeks, or tongue in the first few weeks.
How long will I have to wear my braces?
Every smile is different, so treatment time varies by individual. Most patients complete their braces treatment in 12 to 24 months. We can give you a personalized estimate when we first start, and we’ll have an even clearer idea a few months into your journey.
What about cost? Are braces affordable?
We never want the cost of a beautiful smile to be a source of worry. The price depends on the specific braces you choose and the length of your treatment. We offer flexible payment plans to fit your budget, and our team is happy to work with your insurance to make sure you get the most out of your benefits. Check our FAQs for more information on coverage and affordability.
What about alternatives?
We understand that braces aren't for everyone. We also offer Invisalign® aligners, which are clear, removable aligners that can treat most common orthodontic issues for teens and adults. We’ll help you explore all your treatment options to find the one that feels right for you.
How do I take care of my braces?
Proper care is a simple process. Before brushing, rinse with water to loosen any food. Then, brush carefully around the gum line and the brackets, making sure the bristles get under the wires. Flossing is super important, too! We’ll show you the exact technique to perfect your cleaning routine during your first appointment.
What foods should I avoid with braces?
Protecting your braces is key! You should avoid foods that are super sticky (like caramel), very hard (like whole apples or hard candy), or overly chewy. But don’t worry—we’ll give you a simple list, and you can still enjoy things like apples and corn on the cob by simply cutting them up first.
You're In Good Hands
Once your braces treatment is complete, we’ll help you ensure your beautiful results last forever with a retainer. You can learn more about orthodontic retainers on our site. Remember, we’ve thoughtfully planned your whole journey to be smooth and comfortable.
