What We Offer
When it comes to today’s orthodontic treatment options, little has changed over the years. Traditional metal braces are still the go-to for many – specifically children. However, we also have more options that are a little less obvious, and for adults, these newer options are becoming more popular. At your initial consultation, our team will listen to your goals, learn about your lifestyle, and make recommendations to find the best treatment for you. Here are a few of our most popular treatment options.
Traditional Metal BracesOne of the most reliable options is traditional metal braces. These types of braces are durable, cannot be removed, and are effective at moving teeth into their desired location. Many children and teens enjoy customizing them with colored elastic bands around the brackets. They are a great, dependable option and can be used to treat most alignment issues.
Ceramic BracesCeramic braces are similar to metal braces. They are made of either clear or tooth-colored brackets that are less noticeable compared to traditional braces. Ceramic braces are preferred by many teens and adults who want a more natural and discreet appearance during treatment.
Self-Ligating BracesSelf-ligating braces have a different mechanism that retains the wire without the use of rubber bands. The brackets are smaller, allowing them to be much more comfortable. This design also allows for fewer appointments, potentially shorter treatment times, and they are easier to keep clean.
Invisalign®For those that want a completely different option, we also offer Invisalign. With Invisalign, patients can remove the trays to eat, drink, and brush their teeth. However, patients must wear the trays for the vast majority of the day and night to ensure good results.
Patient Success Stories
Our patients frequently tell us their new smiles have given them more confidence at school, in the workplace, and in life. Parents are happy with how easy it is to get their children the orthodontic treatment they need while at an affordable price. Many older patients have often said they wish they had started their treatment sooner. These stories are why we do what we do.

FAQs
1. Who provides affordable braces in Asheville?
Great Smiles in Asheville is committed to outstanding care at an affordable price. We offer flexible payment options and accept many insurance plans. At Great Smiles, you get quality orthodontic care without hidden costs.
2. Are braces or Invisalign better?
Braces and Invisalign both help straighten teeth, but in two very different ways.
Braces are attached to your teeth and are designed to treat even the most complex cases. Invisalign trays are more discreet and can be removed, so it is easier to eat and brush your teeth.
At Great Smiles, we help you choose what is best suited to your smile and lifestyle. When you meet with our team for your consultation, we will review all options and give recommendations on what we think will be the best option for your dream smile.
3. What is the optimal age to begin braces?
The recommended age for a first orthodontic exam is anywhere between the ages of 7 and 14. This is when the jaws and teeth are still growing and we can examine your smile to avoid larger issues down the road. However, it’s never too late to achieve your smile goals. Adult patients do very well with orthodontic treatment too!
