Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces and are more comfortable today than ever before. Made of high-grade stainless steel, metal braces straighten your teeth using metal brackets and archwires. With metal braces, you have the option of adding colored elastics (rubber bands) for a more unique and colorful smile.
Clear (Ceramic) Braces
Ceramic braces are made of clear materials and are therefore less visible on your teeth than metal braces. For this reason, ceramic braces are used mainly on older teenagers and adult patients who have cosmetic concerns. While they are visually less prominent, they do require more attention to oral hygiene as ceramic braces are larger and are more brittle than their metal counterparts. For these reasons, ceramic braces tend to be used more on upper front teeth than on lower teeth.
Self-Ligating Braces
Self-ligating braces are made from the same materials as traditional braces. Self-ligating braces come in traditional metal or clear brackets. They are the same size as metal braces, but use a specialized clip in place of elastics to help the archwire guide teeth into place. The clip helps reduce the amount of pressure being placed on the tooth, and may require fewer adjustments because there are no elastics to replace.
Gold Braces
The same as our traditional silver braces, but in an esthetic gold color! We also offer a softer gold color if these are too bright. If you want to be extra bold you can get a gold wire to match!

I recently had the pleasure of taking my son to McMillian Orthodontics, and I can’t say enough good things about our experience. After months of anticipation, my son just got his braces off, and the results are nothing short of amazing!From the moment we walked in, the welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff made us feel at ease. The entire team is incredibly professional and genuinely cares about their patients. A special shoutout to Allison, who went above and beyond in making this journey enjoyable for both my son and me. She was always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and ensure that we understood every step of the process. Her warmth and enthusiasm truly made a difference.The office itself is well-equipped and organized, reflecting the high standards they maintain. Appointments were efficiently scheduled, and we rarely waited long. The team consistently demonstrated expertise and a commitment to providing excellent care, which gave us great confidence in the treatment.Seeing my son’s smile now, free from braces, is a testament to the skill and dedication of the entire McMillian team. I wholeheartedly recommend McMillian Orthodontics to anyone seeking orthodontic care. Thank you for transforming my son’s smile and making this a positive experience for our family!
I went for my full term with braces and never had a single complaint. The staff is super nice and understanding and the lobby is air conditioned and comfortable
Love them real bad! I had braces put on by them and now both of my daughters are their patients too. Always so professional and friendly!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The entire staff was absolutely amazing! Everyone was so caring, kind, and professional from the moment I walked through the door. They made me feel comfortable, welcomed, and genuinely cared for throughout my visit.I’m 41 years old, and I was honestly a little nervous about getting braces at this stage in my life. Several staff members who also got braces as adults took the time to share their own experiences with me, and hearing their stories made me feel so much more comfortable and confident in my decision. That personal touch meant more than they probably realize.It’s not often you find a team that treats you with so much compassion and encouragement. Thank you all for making this such a positive experience. I highly recommend this office to anyone—whether you’re getting braces as a teen or an adult!
Excellent experience! They made us feel welcome from the moment I called. My son now has braces and we couldn’t be happier with how well everything was explained and how knowledgeable the staff is.

Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable biocompatible plastic trays that straighten your teeth like braces. Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are less of a hassle. The aligners are comfortable and have no metal to cause mouth sores during treatment.
