Brava braces are a completely new approach to invisibly and gently straightening teeth. They’re not like traditional braces or aligners because they’re personalized, programmed and placed behind the teeth. Using Independent Movers® technology, Brava is programmed to move each tooth based on a customized smile design. Not only is Brava hidden behind the teeth, but it works fast to quickly improve smiles. That means easier care and fewer office visits because Brava is always working.

Brava is designed with smooth, tongue-friendly surfaces that optimize comfort. Once treatment begins, Dr. Kim provides special care instructions to help patients adjust over the first few weeks of treatment. Most cases can be treated with just 1-2 Brava. No other treatment option moves teeth independently in all directions all at once.

Severe Crowding Correction

Benefits of treatment:

Creates space for proper tooth alignment
Improves smile appearance and facial balance
Makes brushing and flossing easier
Reduces risk of cavities and gum disease
Improves bite function and comfort
