Allen, Blue Ridge, & Leonard Metal Braces
Proven Results, Powerful Smiles
At Kraus Orthodontics, metal braces remain one of the most effective, reliable ways to straighten teeth. With advanced technology and high-quality materials, today’s braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than ever.
A Solid Treatment for You
Metal braces have been a trusted orthodontic solution for decades, and for a good reason—they work!
But today’s braces are nothing like they used to be. Thanks to modern advancements, they’re smaller, lighter, and more comfortable, making treatment easier while still delivering exceptional results.
At Kraus Orthodontics, we use high-quality, durable materials to ensure efficient tooth movement and a smoother experience.
Stronger & Better Than Ever
At Kraus Orthodontics, we offer modern metal braces that are more comfortable, efficient, and durable than ever before. With a sleeker design, shorter treatment times, and fewer office visits, today’s braces make achieving a straight, healthy smile easier than you think.
Durable & Reliable
Metal braces are made from high-quality stainless steel, giving them the strength to handle even the most complex orthodontic cases. They’re especially great for kids and teens who are always on the go and may be a little tougher on their braces.
With their durability and reliability, metal braces can withstand daily wear while keeping your treatment on track.
Fewer Office Visits
With advanced technology, metal braces now require fewer adjustments, meaning you’ll spend less time in the chair and more time enjoying life. Their self-ligating design eliminates the need for frequent elastic tie changes, making each visit quicker and easier.
Designed for Comfort
Gone are the days of bulky, uncomfortable braces! Modern brackets are smaller, smoother, and more comfortable than ever before. That means less irritation and a better experience from start to finish.
Affordable for You
Metal braces remain one of the most cost-effective ways to straighten teeth. They’re generally more affordable than clear aligners or ceramic braces, making them a great option for families.
But affordability isn’t the only benefit—straight teeth are also healthier teeth. Proper alignment helps prevent cavities and gum disease, saving you money on future dental work.
Handles Tough Cases
Metal braces are the most effective treatment for complex orthodontic issues. Whether you need to correct crowding, spacing, or bite misalignment, these braces provide powerful, consistent results.
With each adjustment, your teeth move into place, bringing you closer to your perfect smile.
No Risk of Losing Them
While clear aligners are removable, that also means they can be misplaced, forgotten, or even accidentally thrown away. Metal braces are a fixed appliance, so you never have to worry about keeping track of them—they work 24/7 to create a beautiful, lasting smile.
KLOwen Braces
At Kraus Orthodontics, we also offer KLOwen custom braces, a faster, more precise alternative to traditional braces. These 3D-designed, fully customized brackets are tailored to your unique smile, meaning fewer adjustments, shorter treatment times, and better results.
Faster Results
KLOwen Braces are custom-made for each tooth, allowing for more accurate and efficient movement.
Because of their precise fit, treatment progresses up to 40% faster than traditional braces—meaning you’ll be showing off your new smile sooner than you thought.
Fewer Adjustments
Standard braces require frequent adjustments to keep your treatment on track. However, KLOwen’s advanced digital design minimizes unnecessary visits by ensuring the perfect fit.
That means less time in the office and more time enjoying life.
More Comfort, Less Bulk
KLOwen Braces use smaller, low-profile brackets designed for maximum comfort. They’re sleeker and smoother, reducing irritation and making your treatment more comfortable.
