Braces in Franklin, TN — Metal & Clear, Every Age

A proven, reliable option driven by the bite rather than the patient's birthday. Metal or tooth-colored ceramic, and a perfectly reasonable choice at any age.

Typical length

18–24 months

Comprehensive treatment once the adult teeth are through.

Adjustments

Every 6–8 weeks

Short visits to change the wire and check progress.

The fee

$3,400–$6,250

The same range as aligners — priced by complexity, not appliance.

Braces

Still the most predictable way to move teeth

Braces are fixed to the teeth, so they work regardless of how many hours a day anyone remembers to wear them. That is why they remain the recommendation for complicated bites, for impacted teeth, and for anyone — child or adult — who would rather not manage a tray.

Metal braces use stainless brackets and a wire. Clear (ceramic) braces use tooth-colored brackets, which are much less visible — but they are still braces, and they are still visible up close. We will not tell you otherwise.

  • Open to children, teenagers and adults alike
  • Adjustments every 6–8 weeks, in short visits
  • Clear brackets available for adults and teenagers
  • One fee covering records, appliances, adjustments and retainers

Cost & care

What braces cost, and what to expect

Comprehensive treatment runs $3,400 to $6,250 — the same whether you choose metal or clear, because we price by how complex the bite is. Your fee includes records, the appliances, every adjustment, your first retainers and post-treatment check-ins.

  • 0% interest plans — down payment at the start
  • In-network with most major PPO plans
  • HSA and FSA dollars welcome
  • No separate charge for a broken bracket
