What Are Premium Metal Braces?

What Makes Cool Braces Different From Old-Fashioned Orthodontic Solutions

When Dr. Tahir opened Cool Braces in 1995, he quickly learned that every patient is different. People need orthodontics for wide ranging reasons. Maybe it’s health related, or maybe you want your child to have the best possible prom photos. Since 1995, our main focus has been understanding each patient and giving them the best care for their individual needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Premium Metal Braces different from traditional?

Same proven result, more refined experience. Premium uses a sleeker, lower-profile bracket for a cleaner look and more comfort, and it is designed for fewer adjustment visits. Traditional braces are the trusted, highly customizable classic. Both are excellent, the right pick depends on your priorities.

Are Premium braces faster than traditional?

The honest answer: the biggest gains are fewer and shorter visits and a smoother experience, not a dramatically shorter overall timeline. Your total treatment time depends on your specific case, and we will map a realistic timeline at your consultation.

Are Premium braces more comfortable than traditional braces?

Most patients find the low-profile design gentler against the cheeks and lips, especially in the early days. Smaller, smoother brackets simply feel better in the mouth.

Are Premium braces worth the extra cost?

For patients who value comfort, a cleaner look, and fewer trips to the office, absolutely. We will help you weigh it honestly, with 0% in-house financing either way.

Can I personalize my Premium braces?

Yes, and we will show you exactly how at your consultation. (See review note, confirm color-band availability with Dr. Lia.)
