Types of braces we offer
Finding the best braces option for you is essential to our process. We help patients of all ages across Fort Worth and Crowley, Texas, discover the perfect orthodontic treatment plan through state-of-the-art technology and a personalized orthodontic approach. Mik Ortho patients can choose from the following braces options:
Damon® braces
These self-ligating braces rely on a sliding mechanism to move teeth into place. Self-ligating braces require fewer visits to our office and provide you with results faster and more comfortably than traditional braces. Our Damon System braces in Fort Worth and Crowley are available with metal and clear brackets.
Clear braces
Many patients prefer braces with a less noticeable appearance, so they choose clear braces. Also known as ceramic braces, this invisible braces option uses transparent brackets to blend into the natural color of your teeth. Our Fort Worth and Crowley clear braces are self-ligating, offering faster and more comfortable treatment.
Clear aligners
Clear teeth aligners are clear and removable, making this invisible braces option an excellent choice for your lifestyle. Using 3D imaging, we will create customized clear aligners made of durable plastic that will require fewer visits to our office and get results faster.
What are the benefits of braces treatment?
Braces are a hallmark of modern orthodontics, and most people know them well by their traditional appearance and proven results. In an ever-expanding field, we have more types of braces available than ever, each with unique benefits. We offer adult braces and braces for kids and teens. As one of Fort Worth and Crowley’s best orthodontists, we have seen how braces can transform smiles. Our patients choose braces treatment for reasons such as:
- Teeth alignment: Braces move your teeth into straighter, more comfortable positions over time.
- Overall oral health: With straight teeth, you can better prevent future risk of gum diseases or bite problems.
- Jaw alignment: Many patients use braces to fix jaw development issues while their mouth is still growing.
- Confidence: With a smile you can be proud of, your self-confidence will soar!
How do braces work?
Orthodontic appliances such as braces can be metal, ceramic, or plastic. They may be removable, or they may be brackets bonded to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move teeth to a corrected position.
Gone are bulky metal brackets and bands placed around each tooth. At Mik Ortho, you can choose between modern metal braces or clear braces, which are slimmer and more comfortable than ever, and you can even customize your braces colors by picking the color of your rubber bands that hold the wire in the brackets. Kids love to show off their style by changing their braces colors at each appointment. Wires are also less noticeable than they used to be, and the latest materials move teeth faster with less discomfort to patients. The most significant difference between clear braces vs. metal braces is the material used, but they generally work the same way and can fix most of the same orthodontic issues.

How long do braces take to work?
Braces treatment times typically range from one to three years, depending on the growth of the patient’s mouth and face and the severity of the problem. Interceptive or early orthodontic treatment procedures may take as few as six months.
Younger patients grow at different rates, and adult patients’ fully grown teeth respond differently to orthodontic treatment, so the time until case completion may differ from the original estimate. A vital factor in efficient treatment is the patient’s diligent use of any prescribed rubber bands or headgear.
