Straightening your smile shouldn’t feel complicated. Our team keeps every step simple, from your first visit to your final retainer check. Brandon families trust us because we take the time to explain what’s happening and why — no rushed appointments, no confusing jargon.
Whether you’re weighing traditional metal brackets or a more discreet ceramic option, we’ll walk you through what fits your bite, your budget, and your daily routine.
Dietrich & Kelso offers two main types of braces: traditional metal braces and tooth-colored ceramic braces. Metal braces handle complex bite corrections at the lowest cost and hold up well for kids and teens. Ceramic braces work the same way but blend in more, making them popular with adults and image-conscious teens. Both options typically finish treatment within twelve to twenty-four months, adjusted every four to six weeks.
Metal Braces
Metal braces remain the most reliable way to correct crowding, gaps, and bite issues. They’re built to handle complex movements that other treatments sometimes can’t. Kids and teens often choose these first, since the brackets hold up well through sports and everyday wear. Compare pricing on our financing options page before your visit.
Ceramic braces work the same way metal ones do, just with a tooth-colored bracket that blends in more. Adults and older teens tend to prefer this option, especially if they’re self-conscious about a mouth full of metal during meetings or photos. If you’re deciding between the two, our free consultation is the fastest way to know which one fits your case.
Using traditional braces, you can often see visible signs of improvement relatively quickly, which can help increase your confidence in both your smile and the orthodontic process!
Braces treatment starts with an exam and bite assessment, followed by bracket placement within a few weeks. Patients return every four to six weeks for adjustments, each lasting about fifteen to twenty minutes, while wires and bands are tightened to keep teeth moving on schedule. Once teeth reach their final position, a retainer holds everything in place while the bone and gums settle.
Getting started is easier than most people expect. First, we’ll take a look at your teeth and bite, talk through what you’re hoping to change, and map out a treatment plan together. From there, most patients are in braces within a few weeks.
Once your teeth are where they need to be, you’ll move into retention. Skipping this step is the most common reason smiles shift back, so we make sure you leave with a clear plan for how to wear yours. See real results on our before and after page.

Dietrich & Kelso’s doctors bring years of hands-on experience to every case, from simple spacing fixes to complex bite corrections, and never recommend treatment a patient doesn’t need. Every appointment includes a plain-language explanation of what’s happening and why, so patients understand their options instead of just following instructions. Consultations are free and come with no obligation to start treatment.
Patients tell us they appreciate that we explain the “why” behind every recommendation — not just the “what.” If something’s optional, we’ll say so. If it’s necessary, we’ll explain what happens if it’s skipped. Meet our full team.
