Braces
Precise, proven orthodontic treatment for teens and adults — metal and ceramic options available.
Time-Tested. Specialist-Delivered.
Braces remain the most versatile and reliable orthodontic treatment available — capable of correcting everything from mild crowding to complex bite issues. At HP Orthodontics, every braces case is designed and managed personally by Dr. Hector Palma Cochran, a certified orthodontic specialist with over 15 years of experience.
Two Types of Braces.
One Level of Excellence.
Metal Braces
The gold standard in orthodontic treatment. Modern metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more effective than ever — delivering precise, reliable results for teens and adults alike.
- Most cost-effective option
- Highly effective for complex cases
- Durable and low-maintenance
- Fun colored bands available for teens
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces use tooth-colored or clear brackets that blend naturally with your smile. You get the same precision and reliability as metal braces — with a much more subtle appearance.
- Brackets match your tooth color
- Less visible than metal braces
- Equally effective for most cases
- Popular with adult patients
