Personalized braces designed for comfort, confidence, and long-lasting results.
Traditional braces use gentle, controlled pressure to gradually guide teeth and jaws into healthier alignment over time. At Wigal & Kluemper Orthodontics, treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation that considers your bite, facial structure, growth, and overall function — not just tooth position alone.
As adjustments are made throughout treatment, your teeth shift into more balanced positions that support improved bite function, facial harmony, and long-term stability. Every treatment plan is personalized to help children, teens, and adults achieve results that look natural, feel comfortable, and support lasting oral health.
Traditional braces provide the fixed precision needed to correct complex bite misalignments, crowding, and jaw discrepancies. By ensuring your upper and lower teeth meet properly, this treatment optimizes chewing efficiency, protects your jaw joints, and reduces uneven wear to safeguard your long-term health.
Orthodontic treatment impacts your entire facial profile, not just your teeth. Your personalized treatment plan uses traditional braces to carefully guide tooth and jaw alignment, which improves lip support and balances your overall proportions to enhance your facial harmony.
As a time-tested solution, traditional braces offer unmatched control and continuous guidance for complex structural corrections. This reliability ensures highly predictable outcomes for patients of all ages, delivering a stable, healthy foundation through truly comprehensive care.

Absolutely not! There’s no age limit for improving your smile. Many adults choose traditional braces to correct long-standing alignment issues or bite problems, especially if they’re unhappy with the appearance of their smiles.
As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, braces can work effectively at any age. At Wigal & Kluemper Orthodontics, we create custom treatment plans for every patient, regardless of age. In fact, adult patients often see fantastic results because they’re more consistent with care and follow-up visits. So, whether you’re 17 or 70, it’s never too late to invest in a healthier, straightened smile.
It is possible, but the practicality of it depends on your unique bite and alignment. In some cases, treating just one arch (top or bottom) can correct minor cosmetic concerns. However, for more complex bite issues, most people benefit from treating both arches at once. This ensures that your teeth are properly aligned at the end of your treatment and the results last.
When you arrive for your consultation, we’ll perform a detailed evaluation to decide what’s best for your smile and function. If single-arch treatment is an option, we’ll explain the benefits and risks so you can make an informed choice.
Once your braces come off, the next step is retention. This means wearing a retainer to keep your teeth in their new positions. Without it, your smile may slowly shift back, undoing the progress you’ve made.
Once your treatment is complete, we’ll provide a custom retainer and instructions on how and when to wear it. We might also schedule a few follow-up visits with you so we can monitor your results.
The day your braces come off should be an exciting event without worrying about more work ahead. But don’t think of wearing a retainer as more treatment—it’s just a precaution to keep your smile looking great for years to come!
Treatment times vary, but most patients wear traditional braces for 18 to 24 months. Some mild cases may take as little as a year, while complex issues might take up to three years. It all just depends on your needs.
At Wigal & Kluemper Orthodontics, we’ll give you a personalized estimate after your initial consultation. The length of your treatment depends on several factors, including the severity of your case, your age, and how closely you follow care instructions. Regular checkups and good hygiene habits can help you stay on track and even finish faster!
