Ceramic braces function just like metal brackets, but use clear materials to blend with your natural teeth. This process requires careful oral hygiene to prevent staining on the clear elastic ties. We ensure clinical excellence while maintaining a low-profile look during treatment.

We’ve had such a great experience with Prose Orthodontics! We currently have two kids in treatment, and we already have another who will be getting braces in February. Everyone in the office is always friendly, welcoming, and great with the kids. Appointments run smoothly, communication is excellent, and we’ve been really happy with the care our kids have received. We definitely recommend Prose Orthodontics!

This place makes you HOPE you’ll need orthodontic care! The nicest office staff and the most kind and competent doctors! After going through braces with 2 kids and then my own treatment, I have spent over 5 years visiting this office, and I can honestly say that I have never had a negative experience at Prose Orthodontics. They are THE BEST!

I really wanted to wait until after I completed my braces journey before giving a review. I wanted to be able to share my experience after seeing the full results for myself.Before starting treatment, I wasn’t really happy with my smile. I used to actually force my upper lip up when I smiled because I felt like you couldn’t see enough of my teeth. I wanted to be able to show more of my teeth and create a wider smile. I had also started noticing that my teeth were shifting, and I knew it was going to get worse if I don’t do something now.I had orthodontic treatment in my teens with a different orthodontist, and I always wore my top retainer, so getting braces again as an adult was something I thought about very carefully.I researched orthodontists in the area pretty heavily for over two years. I wanted to find someone who had experience with adult braces and was comfortable treating someone who has crowns on teeth. I also wanted an orthodontist who understood that I wasn’t looking to simply straighten my teeth. I wanted to change my smile and the overall appearance of my face.One thing I really liked was being able to see pictures online of their real patients, rather than just stock photos. I also started asking people in the area who had really nice smiles where they had gone for their orthodontic treatment. Honestly, I think this is one of the best ways to get a true referral.. asking people whose results you genuinely admire.From the beginning, the staff was kind, accommodating, and, most importantly, honest. The office is clean, modern, and up to date. As an adult getting braces, I thought I would feel much more embarrassed or self-conscious than I actually did. The braces were barely noticeable, and most people didn’t even realize I had them unless I told them. Friends, family, and peers were actually more curious about why I decided to get braces, and so many people would tell me they had been thinking about changing their own teeth too.Now that I’m finished, I can honestly say I’m so happy I did it.Dr. Grzetic and Dr. Prose were amazing. I love my smile, but what surprised me the most was the overall change in my face. I truly didn’t realize how much your face can change when your teeth and smile are properly aligned.You’re going to have your teeth for the rest of your life. If you’re not happy with them now, you’re probably not going to be happy with them 10 or 20 years from now. Don’t keep putting it off. Make the appointment. It’s worth it.I’m so grateful I found Dr. Grzetic and Dr. Prose and trusted them with my smile. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering orthodontic treatment.10/10 overall experience.

So far we are loving Prose! They were so kind at our initial visit. They were very clear and direct with what the treatment would be and the costs. The front staff is very welcoming and friendly and never make me feel silly when I ask too many questions! Will be bringing my other kids here when it’s their time for braces!

How long do braces take to straighten teeth?

Your treatment timeline depends entirely on your specific clinical needs. Most patients wear braces for 12 to 24 months, though your exact duration may vary based on structural alignment. Our board-certified specialists provide a precise estimate after your comprehensive initial exam.

What foods should I avoid with braces?

You must protect your brackets and archwires from physical damage. This process requires you to avoid sticky foods like caramel, hard foods like pizza crust, and crunchy foods like popcorn. You can still consume hard fruits and vegetables if you cut them into small pieces first.

Do braces hurt?

You may experience a mild, temporary soreness after we first place your braces or following routine adjustment visits. This sensation is normal and indicates your teeth are responding to gentle pressure. Rinsing with warm salt water or using over-the-counter pain relief helps manage this discomfort.
