What Are Custom Braces?

Traditional braces use standardized brackets that are adjusted throughout treatment to move teeth into alignment. Custom braces take this process further by designing each bracket specifically for your teeth and treatment goals. With KLOwen technology, we:

  • Digitally scan your teeth instead of using messy impressions
  • Design a complete treatment plan before braces are placed
  • Create custom brackets and wires engineered for precise tooth movement

The result is a braces system tailored to your smile from day one.

Custom Braces with KLOwen Technology

At ABM Orthodontics, we use the advanced KLOwen system to create truly custom braces tailored specifically to your smile. Unlike traditional braces that use standardized brackets, KLOwen technology takes a digital scan of your teeth to design custom brackets and create a personalized treatment plan unique to you.

This customized approach offers greater efficiency and precision, often resulting in shorter treatment times and more predictable outcomes. Just as clear aligners are customized to your teeth, KLOwen custom braces provide the same level of personalization with the proven effectiveness of traditional braces. Dr. Brooke will evaluate whether custom braces are the right option for your specific needs during your complimentary consultation.

KLOwen Custom Braces vs. Traditional Braces

Traditional Braces

  • Standard metal or ceramic brackets
  • Adjustments guide teeth gradually over time
  • Extremely effective for complex orthodontic cases
  • Average treatment time: 18–24 months

KLOwen Custom Braces

  • Fully customized metal or ceramic brackets
  • Digitally planned tooth movement from start to finish
  • More precise force application
  • Fewer refinements and adjustments
  • Often shorter treatment timelines with more predictable results

Both options are effective, but custom braces offer greater efficiency, accuracy, and comfort for many patients.
