Bracesin North & South Carolina
Whether you’re managing your child’s dental development or finally ready to align your own smile, our experienced team is here to guide you every step of the way. With personalized treatment plans and a focus on comfort, we help make braces a rewarding experience at any age.
What Are Braces?
Braces are one of the most effective and time-tested ways to correct alignment issues, bite problems, and crowded teeth. Using a system of brackets, wires, and gentle pressure, braces gradually guide your teeth into the right position for a healthier, more confident smile.
At Lume, we primarily use traditional metal braces, which are durable and ideal for a wide range of orthodontic needs, from early intervention in children to complex adult cases. We also offer options like ceramic braces, gold and champagne braces, and lingual braces, depending on your treatment goals and preferences.
The Benefits of Braces
Braces remain a gold-standard solution in orthodontics, for good reason. They offer predictable, long-lasting results and can address both functional issues and cosmetic concerns. Whether you’re starting young or seeking treatment as an adult, braces at Lume are tailored to your lifestyle and smile goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
We’re here to answer all your questions about getting braces at any age.
You're never too old for a straight, healthy smile! We treat many adult patients. In fact, according to the American Association of Orthodontics (AAO), 1 in 3 orthodontic patients today are over the age of 18. Braces are effective at any age as long as your teeth and gums are healthy.
The American Association of Orthodontics (AAO) recommends an orthodontic evaluation by age 7, even if braces aren’t needed yet.
Orthodontic treatment times can vary greatly from patient to patient. Most patients wear braces for 12–24 months, but timing depends on your unique case.
You might feel some discomfort after adjustments, but it’s usually mild and short-lived.
In addition to traditional stainless steel brackets, we offer ceramic, gold, and champagne braces. We also offer lingual braces, which are attached to the back of the teeth, for powerful results with a sleek aesthetic.
