Metal Braces
Metal braces are a reliable way to find the best way to straighten your bite. Made with high-quality stainless steel, today’s braces are smaller and more comfortable than ever before. To make the process fun, you can even pick new colors for your ties at each visit!
Gold Braces
Looking for something that stands out? Gold braces offer all the benefits of traditional braces with a stylish twist. Their subtle golden hue helps your smile shine during treatment, making it an easy decision for patients who want a unique look.
Benefits of braces
Braces do more than just straighten your teeth; they support your long-term health and help you feel at ease. By correcting bite issues, braces can help prevent future dental problems and ease strain on your jaw. Other benefits include:
- Alleviating headaches: A misaligned bite can cause tension. Braces gradually bring things into balance to reduce discomfort.
- Aiding digestion: Braces help your teeth work together properly, making it easier to chew and support your overall health.
- Easier brushing and flossing: Straightening crowded teeth makes it simpler to keep your smile clean and healthy.
- Preventing oral health issues: Braces shift teeth into safer positions, protecting your smile for years to come.

All the Orthodontist are very nice. They treat my daughter very well. Fixing her braces and all her appointments and always on time. Never have had an issue yet. Amazing staff for sure.
Linda was so helpful and made my experience absolutely wonderful. She and Dr. Leah made me feel comfortable by explaining the whole process of getting braces, next steps and answering a questions that I had. I am genuinely excited to get my braces/start treatment.
The staff is WONDERFUL!!! My granddaughter and I had anxiety about her getting braces and me getting Invisalign but the Dr and her team put us both at ease. From answering questions, setting up payments and scheduling.Thank you
I recently went for a consultation, Njeri was the sweetest and so was Dr. Leah Yi. Very clean office, I can’t wait to get my braces!!! They even made the plan affordable for me, which means they care about making this treatment as comfortable as possible for you.

Your worry-free braces journey
Your experience matters just as much as your results. We want you to feel comfortable about every step, from your first visit to the day your new smile is revealed. Here is how we’ve thoughtfully planned your care:
Your free consultation
Your path begins with a free consultation. We’ll perform a thorough evaluation using our iTero™ scanner. This technology creates a 3D image of your teeth without any messy molds, allowing us to craft a plan just for you.
Bonding your braces
When it’s time to get started, we’ll carefully place each bracket on your teeth. A thin archwire is then used to begin the gentle shifting process. You’ll even get to pick your elastic colors to personalize your transformation!
Caring for your braces
We’ll make sure you leave your first appointment feeling confident. You’ll receive a starter kit and helpful advice on what to eat and how to brush so you can stay worry free throughout your treatment.
Routine check-ins
Every 6 to 8 weeks, you’ll visit us for quick adjustments. These visits ensure your progress is on track and bring you one step closer to your dream smile.
Protecting your results
When your braces come off, we’ll provide you with a custom orthodontic retainer to keep your results spectacular for a lifetime.
Frequently Asked Questions
Am I too old for braces?
Not at all! Many adults choose treatment to improve their health and confidence. It’s never too late to achieve a healthier bite.
How long do braces take?
Treatment time varies depending on your goals, but most journeys last between 12 and 24 months. We’ll give you a clear timeline during your consultation.
How can I soothe discomfort?
Mild soreness is normal at first. We recommend soft foods, salt water rinses, and using orthodontic wax to help you feel at ease while you adjust.
Who is a good candidate for braces?
Braces are a versatile solution for children, teens, and adults. We offer personalized care to address many concerns, including:
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Underbites, overbites, and crossbites
- Gaps between teeth
- Jaw alignment issues
Braces for every stage of life
It’s never too late (or too early) to feel good about your smile. For children, early orthodontics — usually around age 7 — can guide jaw growth and help permanent teeth come in properly. Teens often find it’s the ideal time for braces while their jaws are still developing. For adults, braces are more discreet than ever, making it a simple choice to boost your confidence and oral health.
What if braces aren’t right for me?
If you’re looking for a more discreet option, Invisalign® aligners might be the perfect fit. Invisalign treatment uses clear, removable trays to shift your teeth without brackets or wires. It’s a popular, flexible choice for both teens and adults.
Guarantee My Smile
At GN Orthodontics, your smile is our long-term commitment. Our Guarantee My Smile program offers peace of mind. If your teeth shift down the road, we provide retreatment with easy payment plans so you can stay worry- free.
