Braces, Better Than Ever

Metal braces remain one of the most trusted and versatile orthodontic treatments available.

At our Lafayette office, Dr. Balhoff uses updated, low-profile brackets engineered to keep treatment comfortable, effective, and predictable.

Why Today’s Braces Work Better

Modern braces deliver reliable results with enhanced comfort, efficiency, and precision. At Balhoff Orthodontics, patients benefit from advanced bracket design that keep treatment smooth and streamlined.

Smoother, More Comfortable Brackets

Self-ligating braces use small, low-profile clips instead of elastic ties. This reduces friction, helps braces feel smoother against the lips and cheeks, and supports a more comfortable treatment experience overall.

Efficient Tooth Movement

The self-ligating mechanism maintains steady, consistent pressure, allowing teeth to move efficiently. Many patients see progress with fewer adjustments and less chair time.

Cleaner, Easier to Maintain

Without elastic ties, self-ligating braces allow easier brushing and create fewer places for plaque to accumulate. This helps keep your teeth and gums healthier throughout treatment.

Reliable Results for a Wide Range of Smiles

Whether your case is simple or more complex, self-ligating braces provide the control Dr. Balhoff needs to guide your teeth to stable, lasting alignment.
