The Benefits of Traditional Braces
Traditional braces have been used for decades to correct a wide variety of teeth and jaw alignment issues. Compared with other orthodontic devices, traditional braces are:
- Affordable: traditional braces cost less than clear aligners
- Durable: traditional braces are harder to damage and easier to repair
- Efficient: traditional braces often get results in 1-3 years
- Versatile: traditional braces are often more useful for solving complex alignment problems
Traditional braces also stay in the mouth until your teeth have been successfully realigned. While removable devices can fail to successfully realign teeth if they are not worn as directed, our traditional braces never stop working for you.

Frequently Asked Questions about Traditional Braces
How Much Do Traditional Braces Cost?
Every patient faces different costs for braces depending on their needs. Braces for severely misaligned teeth will be more expensive than braces for correcting smaller issues. Insurance coverage also affects how much you’ll pay out-of-pocket.
At Koga Orthodontics, we bill to a broad network of insurance providers, making it easier for you to get high-quality treatment without driving up costs. For a more accurate idea of how much you can expect to pay for braces, contact us and book an appointment.
How Long Do Traditional Braces Take?
Braces generally take anywhere from 1-3 years, and 2 years is common for younger patients. If your alignment issues are less severe and you follow our instructions for maintaining your braces carefully, it may be possible to get them off sooner. When you visit Koga Orthodontics for braces, we’ll present you with a custom plan that includes a timeline for when they will likely come off.
Does Getting Traditional Braces Hurt?
When you get traditional braces, they will be bonded to the teeth and rubber bands will be used to hold the wire inside the brackets, which can be tightened at specific points to slowly change the alignment of your teeth. Braces are available for people of all ages.
Next, we’ll change these wires strategically, guiding your teeth to change positions over time. This process can occasionally feel uncomfortable, especially just after your braces have been adjusted.
You may experience soreness for several days after getting braces or having them adjusted, especially when chewing food. However, this feeling normally goes away afterward.
What Is the Process for Getting Traditional Braces?
The first step towards getting braces is to visit us for an appointment. During this process, we’ll examine your teeth and mouth, collecting data we can use to make braces that fit you properly.
When you visit us to have your braces put on, we’ll place small rubber bands around your brackets, connecting the wires to your teeth. Adjusting the tension of these wires over time helps your teeth move into the proper alignment.
After your braces are removed, we’ll provide you with a retainer. This device prevents your teeth from shifting back to their old positions over time. You’ll also need to make regular appointments with us to ensure your teeth remain aligned in the future.
Who Can Get Traditional Braces?
Nearly everyone is a candidate for traditional braces, as long as their teeth and gums are healthy enough. When you come in for an appointment, we’ll check the condition of your teeth and your medical history to ensure we can fit you for a set of effective braces.
Should I Get Traditional Braces?
Traditional braces are one of the most affordable ways to improve the way your teeth look and make it easier to care for them. If your teeth are misaligned to the point where they cause discomfort during regular activities or affect your confidence when smiling, contact Koga Orthodontics and find out how we can help.
