Straighten Your Smile with Trusted Orthodontic Care
Braces remain one of the most effective orthodontic solutions for correcting bite issues, aligning teeth, and transforming smiles. At Peach Dental, we offer advanced braces options for children, teens, and adults in Atlanta, Dunwoody, Brookhaven, and Sandy Springs. Whether you're dealing with crowding, gaps, or jaw alignment issues, our personalized treatment plans deliver long-lasting, confident results.
What Are Braces and How Do They Work?
Braces use a system of brackets and wires to apply gentle, consistent pressure that gradually shifts teeth into their ideal positions. They are highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including:
- Overbites and underbites
- Crowded or crooked teeth
- Open bites and crossbites
- Uneven spacing or gaps
Unlike removable options, traditional braces remain fixed in place, making them especially effective for complex or severe cases. Our in-house orthodontist, Dr. Brenna Christensen, provides expert oversight of every treatment plan to ensure the best outcomes.
Types of Braces Offered at Peach Dental
Our orthodontic team helps you choose the most effective and aesthetic braces option based on your goals and lifestyle. We offer:
- Traditional Metal Braces
Made of high-grade stainless steel, these are the most durable and reliable option for comprehensive correction. - Clear Ceramic Braces
Designed to blend with the natural color of your teeth, ceramic braces offer a more discreet alternative while still providing strong results. - Self-Ligating Braces
A more comfortable and efficient design that requires fewer adjustments and can reduce overall treatment time.
For patients seeking a removable alternative, we also offer clear aligners and Invisalign as part of our cosmetic dentistry services.
Braces for All Ages
Orthodontic care is not just for kids. While we frequently provide braces to our younger patients through children’s dentistry, many adults are also choosing braces to correct long-standing issues or to prepare for cosmetic treatments like veneers.
We tailor every plan to the patient’s age, dental history, and goals—ensuring each smile transformation is both effective and comfortable.
Technology That Enhances Every Step
Peach Dental leverages cutting-edge tools such as digital scanners and 3D printing to improve diagnostics, create custom appliances, and streamline your treatment.
For patients with anxiety or sensitivity, we offer optional support like nitrous oxide, oral sedation, or even IV sedation when necessary—ensuring visits are calm and stress-free.
Keeping Your Smile Healthy During Orthodontic Treatment
Maintaining excellent hygiene is essential while wearing braces. Our team will guide you through proper cleaning techniques and recommend regular dental cleanings to prevent buildup and tooth decay during your orthodontic journey.
We’ll also coordinate any restorative or preventive treatments needed along the way, including fluoride treatments, dental sealants, or fillings.
Frequently Asked Questions About Braces

Treatment time varies but generally ranges from 12 to 24 months. More complex cases may require additional time, which we’ll outline during your consultation.
