Braces in Oakton, VA
Options for a Confident, Straight Smile at Any Age
Braces have come a long way — and today, they’re more comfortable, efficient, and stylish than ever. At Oakton Family Orthodontics, we offer multiple types of braces to fit your smile goals, lifestyle, and personal style.
Whether you’re a teen starting your smile journey or an adult ready to invest in yourself, we’ll help you choose the type of braces that works best for you — all under the care of a board-certified orthodontist.
What Are Braces?
Braces are an orthodontic system that gently shifts your teeth into better alignment over time. They consist of brackets attached to your teeth and connected by an archwire, which applies steady, controlled pressure to guide tooth movement.
At Oakton Family Orthodontics, we use the latest materials and technology to ensure your treatment is as efficient, comfortable, and esthetically pleasing as possible.
Types of Braces We Offer
Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces remain one of the most effective ways to correct a wide range of orthodontic issues. Today’s metal braces are smaller, smoother, and more comfortable than ever. Many of our patients enjoy customizing their look with colorful bands at each appointment!
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces work just like metal braces, but the brackets are made from a tooth-colored or clear material that blends into your smile. They’re a popular option for teens and adults who want a more subtle look without sacrificing the power of traditional braces.
Champagne Braces
These unique braces offer a blend of elegance and performance. With a warm, low-reflection tone that blends beautifully with many natural tooth shades, champagne braces are a stylish option for those seeking something more refined than standard metal or fully clear brackets.

FAQs
About Braces
How do I know if I or my child needs braces?
The best way to know is to come in for a free consultation. Dr. Kilic will evaluate your bite, tooth alignment, and jaw function to determine if braces (or another treatment) are right for you.
Are braces only for kids and teens?
Not at all! We treat patients of all ages — including adults with braces. As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, it’s never too late to get the smile you’ve always wanted.
What’s the difference between metal, clear, and champagne braces?
- Metal braces are durable and efficient — they’re what most people picture when they think of braces.
- Clear ceramic braces blend in with your teeth for a more discreet look.
- Champagne-colored braces offer a warm, sophisticated tone that’s both stylish and subtle.
All three options work well — it just depends on your personal preferences!
Do braces hurt?
You may feel some pressure or mild discomfort after braces are first placed or adjusted, but it goes away within a few days. We’ll give you tips for managing any soreness — and most patients adjust quickly.
How long will I have to wear braces?
Treatment time varies depending on your specific case. Most patients wear braces for 12 to 24 months, but Dr. Kilic will give you a personalized estimate during your consultation.
How much do braces cost?
Every smile is different, so the cost depends on the complexity of your treatment and which type of braces you choose. We do our very best to keep the cost of braces within your budget and offer no-interest and flexible payment plans. We will go over all pricing and insurance details with you during your free consultation.
Do you offer clear aligners too?
Yes! We offer Invisalign® and Angel Aligners for those who are interested in a removable, nearly invisible alternative to braces. We’ll help you compare all your options.
