A Precise Plan For Faster Results
Make Every Visit Count
Getting straighter teeth shouldn’t feel unpredictable. A precise plan from the start keeps alignment moving forward, so the final result looks clean and balanced.
Custom braces give you a clearer path forward. With The Richter Method and our technology, Dr. Richter plans your tooth movement based on your teeth and bite, so your plan stays on track, and you get to your results faster.
What You’ll Notice
Faster Results
You shouldn’t have to wonder if anything is happening. We map the details upfront so progress keeps moving, and you spend fewer months waiting for change.
More Time For What Matters
Custom braces shouldn’t take over your calendar. With fewer check-ins, it’s easier to keep up with work, school, travel, and everything else you’ve got going on.
A Stronger, Steadier Function
Straight teeth are only part of the goal, how your bite works matters too. We guide how your upper and lower teeth meet, so chewing feels more even and your bite stays stable over time.
Keep Things Easy Between Visits
Keeping your braces in good shape comes down to a few steady habits: brush carefully around the brackets and along the gumline, clean between your teeth every day, and avoid foods that are hard or sticky enough to bend wires or pop a bracket loose. These small steps help your braces work the way they’re supposed to and keep your progress consistent between visits.
A Smoother Way From Start To Finish
1- No Impressions, Just Precision:
We start with a quick 3D scan of your teeth and bite, no messy impressions. Then we map your plan digitally and get your custom brackets ready, so everything starts with clarity.
2- Placed with Purpose:
About two weeks after your first visit, we place your braces using a 3D-printed tray that helps position everything exactly where it needs to be. That accuracy helps reduce mid-course fixes later.
3- More Life, Less Chair Time:
You’ll still come in for check-ins, but not just to “fix” things. Dr. Richter keeps visits focused and efficient, so your schedule stays manageable.
4- Your Big Moment:
When it’s time, your braces come off, and your new beautiful smile is ready. And because the plan stayed focused, the whole process feels simpler and more straightforward.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are custom braces different from traditional braces?
Custom braces use 3D scanning and digital planning so placement and movement are tailored to your teeth and bite, reducing guesswork and often reducing extra adjustment visits.
Do you use impressions?
No. Dr. Richter uses a 3D scan of your teeth and bite instead of goopy impressions.
How long does it take to get braces on after my first visit?
Braces are typically placed about 2 weeks after the first appointment, using a 3D-printed tray for accurate placement.
Will custom braces really be faster?
Eight out of nine clinical studies show patients treated with custom braces experienced up to 40% shorter treatment time compared to non-custom braces. Your exact timeline depends on your bite and goals.
Will I need fewer appointments?
That’s one of the main advantages highlighted: custom planning can reduce the need for frequent visits and bracket repositioning, so you spend less time at our office.
Is this only for teens?
Custom braces can be used for teens and adults. The best way to know if it fits you is an exam where Dr. Richter scans and evaluates your bite.
