Fantastic news! Recently, several independent research papers have revealed that traditional braces work just as well as other styles of brackets. In addition to performing equally well, they cost significantly less and allow you the fun opportunity of adding colors to your braces that can be changed at every appointment. You can cheer for your school team one month and get colors to coordinate with every holiday!
