What are braces?

Braces straighten teeth and correct bite problems using brackets bonded to the teeth and a wire that applies steady pressure. Options include metal, ceramic (tooth-coloured) and lingual braces placed behind the teeth. Treatment usually lasts 18–36 months.

Braces: specialist or general dentist?

Orthodontists provide most braces treatment and have 2–3 extra years of training in tooth and jaw alignment. Some general dentists offer braces for simpler cases. Complex bites and jaw growth problems are usually best handled by an orthodontist.

32 of Tucson's 182 clinics offering braces have an orthodontist on staff. See orthodontists in Tucson

How much do braces cost in Tucson?

Typical ranges in USD for Tucson, AZ. Your price depends on the tooth, the case and the clinic.
