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.

Love Dr. Prose and the ENTIRE staff at Prose Orthodontics. We have been loyal customers of Dr. Prose since my journey began when I got braces as an adult. After many consults with other orthodontists, Dr. Prose was the only one who told me that he could save my teeth and my smile with no need for unnecessary extractions. I am beyond thankful for his experience and unwavering expertise. Currently, my 8 year old and 11 year old are under his care and a treatment plan has been established. Pauline and Melanie are so nurturing and committed in making every single moment of our experience memorable. The office feels like a second home to us and we look forward to every visit. 😌 Never think twice about having Dr. Prose and his staff take care of you and your family. ā¤ļø

Prose Orthodontics is the best. They have a wonderful staff. They are dedicated to the patients and not only provide a wonderful experience but truly care about their patients. When calling or making appointments, the staff on the phone are friendly and detailed. The doctors are amazing. They have my 8 year old come to "check in" every 6 months to make her feel comfortable about when she may get braces. I have only positive things to say about this group.

Nothing but great things to say about Prose Orthodontics! Staff is wonderful, doctors are approachable and assuring, we've been going for pre-braces check-ups for over 2 years and nothing but good experiences. Today my daughter got her braces on, she was nervous and everyone put her at ease and spoke directly to her which I appreciated. We left with a sense of accomplishment and felt like part of the Prose family - the next 22 months of braces - if your kid or even you needs them.... go here! And also as a single parent responsible for the bills - not as expensive as I thought - actually very reasonable for all that they offer - and will work with you. Great office, great staff, great docs, great experience.

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.
