What Can Braces Fix?
Braces correct a wide range of alignment and bite problems: crowded or overlapping teeth, gaps and spacing, overbite, underbite, crossbite and open bite, crooked or rotated teeth, midline misalignment, and complex bite issues that clear aligners cannot fully address.
Boca offers traditional metal braces — durable, cost-effective stainless steel brackets and archwires, with colored elastics for kids who want to personalize — and ceramic (clear or tooth-colored) braces, which are just as effective as metal but far less visible, making them popular with teens and adults.

- Invisalign: nearly invisible and removable, best for mild to moderate cases — typically 6–18 months
- Braces are more visible; Invisalign requires discipline to wear 20–22 hours a day
- Your free consultation recommends the best fit for your case
