Norcross, GA
Every patient's bite is different. Our orthodontists evaluate crowding, spacing, bite alignment and your goals before recommending a treatment. All three options below are available at iCare in Norcross and are planned by board-eligible or board-certified orthodontists.
Custom Digital Metal Braces (KLOwen SL)
Our metal braces use KLOwen SL precision custom digital brackets — each bracket is designed specifically for your tooth anatomy using 3D digital planning software. This custom fit can reduce overall treatment time compared to traditional non-custom metal braces, with longer intervals between visits (every 10–12 weeks vs. 6–8 weeks).
KLOwen SL brackets are self-ligating, which means they use a built-in clip instead of elastic ties to hold the wire. This reduces friction, allows lighter forces on teeth and makes appointments faster. Self-ligating brackets are also easier to keep clean.
Best for: patients who want the most efficient fixed appliance, complex bite correction cases, and patients who prefer the precision of fully custom brackets.

LightForce Clear Ceramic Braces
LightForce clear ceramic braces use tooth-colored brackets that blend with your natural enamel for a lower-profile look during treatment. Like our metal braces, LightForce brackets are precision custom-printed using 3D digital planning so each bracket fits the exact contour of your tooth.
Ceramic braces provide the same level of control as metal braces and are a popular option for teens and adults who want a fixed appliance with a more discreet appearance.
Best for: patients who want fixed braces with a less noticeable look, teens and adults with moderate-to-complex alignment concerns.

Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made removable clear plastic trays to gradually shift your teeth. Each tray is worn for about two weeks before advancing to the next. Invisalign is removable — you take them out to eat, brush and floss — which many patients find convenient.
iCare also offers Invisalign First, a version designed specifically for younger children with developing jaws, as well as palatal expander options.
Best for: patients with mild-to-moderate alignment concerns who prioritize a nearly invisible appearance and the ability to remove the appliance. Requires discipline to wear trays 20–22 hours per day.
