Braces
Types of braces
No matter your age, your current orthodontic condition, or your lifestyle, we have a treatment option that’ll make you smile.
When you visit us for your complimentary consultation, our family orthodontists, Dr. Scarborough or Dr. Loflin, will thoroughly examine your condition, discuss your preferences and help you make the best decision for you or your child’s smile.
Damon® self-ligating braces (clear and metal)
Damon braces have self-ligating brackets, which means they don’t require elastic ties to hold the archwire to the bracket. Instead, Damon braces use a slide mechanism that enables the archwire to be clipped into the bracket.
Damon’s tie-less technology reduces the amount of friction applied to the teeth to make for a more comfortable, convenient and quicker treatment process. We provide Damon braces and Damon Clear braces!
Damon braces are made of high-quality metal material and Damon Clear braces are made of ceramic, tooth-colored material. Damon brackets, both clear and metal, are smaller and more discreet than traditional braces.
Gold braces
Interested in a more unique alternative to metal braces? Gold braces function the same as metal braces and are equally as effective – while adding a little extra flair to your smile.
Gold braces are made of high-grade stainless steel brackets and archwires, coated in 24-karat gold. You can choose gold-colored elastics to complete your look with a discreet, monochromatic color scheme.
Clear aligners
If you would rather choose a more subtle option than the metal or gold braces, clear aligners may be your best choice. These clear braces are made of durable plastic that’s customized to your teeth.
Unlike braces with brackets, these clear braces are removable and are to be worn around 20 to 22 hours a day. They are popular among patients of all ages and provide a convenient way to create a beautiful smile.
James River Orthodontics offers Invisalign® clear aligners for adults, teens and kids.
Cost of braces
The personalized treatment plan your orthodontist creates for you will be just as unique as you; we don’t do one-size-fits-all treatment.
We offer flexible, affordable payment plans to help you cover the cost of braces or Invisalign®. Transparency is one of our core values, and we will never add additional fees or secret charges to your payment plan. What you see in your all-inclusive fee is what you can expect!
Your braces costs will depend on a few factors, including:
The length of your treatment plan
The severity of your condition
