Can I Get Braces on my Upper Teeth Only?

                It is very rare that braces can be done on only the upper teeth because the most important reason for braces is to correct the bite and alignment of the teeth and it is much more difficult to do this when you only have control of half the teeth. Even though the bottom teeth may look straight to you, your Orthodontist would be able to show you the corrections that are necessary. Good luck.

The most common reason for this question is one believe braces are cheaper if only one arch has braces or Invisalign. The cost is almost always the same anyway.

Placing the appliance on one arch actually makes it harder and sometimes longer to treat. It is like place a lid on a jar. You have to hold both in order to make them fit
