Aesthetic braces at Sethi Smiles:
serious results, subtle profile

Not every patient wants the look of metal brackets. Aesthetic braces offer the same reliable, controlled orthodontic movement as traditional metal braces — with a bracket that blends in rather than stands out.

At Sethi Smiles Orthodontics, Dr. Sethi uses Iconix™ aesthetic braces — champagne-toned brackets designed to sit quietly against the teeth while still delivering the precise, consistent tooth movement that makes braces so effective. Whether you’re an adult in a professional setting or a teen who wants something more discreet, Jenkintown aesthetic braces treatment gives you both results and a lower-profile look.

What aesthetic braces can treat

Aesthetic braces correct the same range of issues as metal braces. Dr. Sethi uses them to address:
  • $Crowded or overlapping teeth
  • $Gaps and spacing between teeth
  • $Crossbites
  • $Overbites and underbites
  • $Open bites
  • $Cases that need the precision of fixed braces without the visibility of metal
  • $Teen and adult patients who want a more discreet treatment option
For cases where clear aligners aren’t the right clinical fit, but where a lower-profile look still matters, aesthetic braces are often an excellent answer. Dr. Sethi will walk you through all your options and help you find the one that fits your bite and your life.

How Jenkintown aesthetic braces treatment works at our practice

Here’s the process, broken down into simple steps:
Consultation

We start by understanding your bite and your goals. Dr. Sethi evaluates your teeth and jaw relationship, takes photos, and scans your teeth with an iTero digital scanner. You’ll leave with a clear sense of whether aesthetic braces fit your case and what your result could look like.

Custom Treatment Design

Dr. Sethi personally designs your braces plan before brackets go on. He maps out the tooth movement sequence and bite corrections that your case needs. The plan is designed around your bite — not adapted from a general template.

Braces Phase

Iconix™ brackets are bonded to your teeth and connected with carefully selected wires that guide movement over time. At each appointment, Dr. Sethi adjusts your wires, checks bite progress, and addresses anything that needs attention. Most check-in appointments run every six to ten weeks.

Finishing & Retainers

Dr. Sethi focuses on the finishing details as treatment wraps up — bite balance, final positioning, and a stable outcome before brackets come off. Retainers hold your results long term after treatment ends.

About Iconix™ aesthetic braces

Iconix™ brackets are champagne-toned — a warm, neutral color that blends better against most tooth shades than the stark silver of standard metal brackets. They sit low on the tooth and are designed to be smooth against the lips and cheeks.

Unlike clear ceramic brackets, which can stain or appear bulkier, Iconix™ brackets maintain their appearance throughout treatment and deliver the same strong, predictable tooth movement as metal. For patients who want braces to be effective without being the first thing people notice, Iconix™ is a consistent, practical choice.

What aesthetic braces cost in Jenkintown

Cost depends on the complexity and length of treatment. At Sethi Smiles, the financial side is as clear as the treatment plan:
  • $Flexible payment plans — most patients pay monthly with no large upfront payment required
  • $Insurance coordination — we handle the paperwork so your benefits go further
  • $HSA/FSA eligibility — orthodontic treatment is typically covered
  • $Free consultations — including a written estimate before you commit
No guesswork, no pressure — just straightforward information before you decide.

Why patients across the Philadelphia suburbs choose Sethi Smiles

That shows up in:

  • $Personally designed treatment plans, every time
  • $Dr. Sethi’s direct involvement from consultation through finishing
  • $A team that knows your case and follows your progress closely
  • $Before-and-after results Dr. Sethi is proud to share
  • $ABO Board-Certified orthodontic expertise on every case

What makes Iconix™ braces different from metal braces?

K
L
The primary difference is the bracket color. Iconix™ brackets are champagne-toned rather than silver, which helps them blend in against most tooth shades. The clinical performance — tooth movement control, wire mechanics, adjustment frequency — is comparable to metal. The look is simply quieter.

How do aesthetic braces compare to clear aligners?

K
L
Both are effective for a wide range of cases, but they work differently. Clear aligners are removable and nearly invisible. Aesthetic braces are fixed — they work continuously without requiring the patient to wear anything consistently. For patients who want a lower-profile look but prefer fixed treatment, or whose case is better suited to braces, Iconix™ aesthetic braces are a strong option. Dr. Sethi will help you figure out which fits your case.

Do Iconix™ brackets stain?

K
L

Iconix™ brackets are metal — the champagne tone is a permanent part of the bracket material, not a coating. Unlike clear ceramic brackets, which can pick up color from coffee, tea, or certain foods, Iconix™ brackets maintain their appearance throughout treatment.

Are aesthetic braces just for adults?

K
L

Not at all. Teens who want a more subtle look are great candidates. The brackets perform the same way regardless of age. Whether you’re in high school, college, or a professional setting, if a lower-profile look matters to you, aesthetic braces are worth considering.

Will I see Dr. Sethi at every appointment?

K
L
Yes. Dr. Sethi personally handles your adjustments and monitors your progress throughout treatment. Your care doesn’t get handed off.

Do you offer free consultations for aesthetic braces?

K
L
Yes. Your first visit is complimentary. Dr. Sethi evaluates your bite and walks you through your options — whether that’s aesthetic braces, metal braces, or clear aligners — along with a clear written estimate.

How long does aesthetic braces treatment take?

K
L

Treatment time depends on your case. The timeline for aesthetic braces is comparable to metal braces for similar cases. Dr. Sethi will give you a specific estimate at your consultation based on what your bite actually needs.
