At Aviate Orthodontics, Dr. Andrew Dinh offers KLOwen metal braces as a proven, powerful solution for straightening teeth.

Advanced Technology, Time-Tested Results
How Modern Metal Braces Work in Irvine
Metal braces have been the foundation of orthodontics for decades, and today’s versions are smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient.
With modern materials and data-driven customization, metal braces remain a highly effective path to a straighter, healthier smile
At Aviate Orthodontics, we use both traditional metal braces and KLŌwen custom metal braces.
AO Metal Braces
For Phase 1 orthodontics, we use direct-bond metal braces by American Orthodontics.
Using a system of brackets, archwires, and elastics, these traditional braces apply gentle, consistent pressure to move teeth into alignment.
KLŌwen Custom Metal Braces
For our full-treatment patients, Dr. Dinh uses KLŌwen’s custom metal braces.
These custom braces work similarly to traditional braces—but KLŌwen technology takes that foundation further with custom digital planning and 3D-printed trays to ensure every bracket is placed with pinpoint accuracy.
Dr. Dinh uses KLŌwen’s precision to design each treatment plan around your needs, whether it’s correcting crowding, spacing, or bite issues. The result? Shorter treatment times, fewer appointments, and more predictable outcomes.
Proven Strength, Lasting Results
Why Choose Modern Metal Braces?
With KLŌwen’s custom technology, today’s metal braces offer the same trusted strength with even greater precision and speed.
Their ability to handle complex cases—while reducing treatment time—makes them a smart, modern choice for patients of all ages.
Built for Strength & Stability
Made from high-quality stainless steel and digitally customized with KLŌwen’s planning software, they resist daily wear and stay precisely on track.
That combination of strength and personalization makes them a reliable choice for kids, teens, and adults alike.
Works for Simple & Complex Cases
Whether you're dealing with mild spacing or more advanced bite concerns, KLŌwen-powered braces offer superior control over tooth movement.
Their custom bracket placement allows for more targeted adjustments than traditional systems, especially in cases that aligners may not address fully.
No Need to Keep Track of Trays
Unlike removable aligners, braces stay fixed in place from day one—no cases to carry, no trays to remember. KLŌwen braces provide all the benefits of fixed treatment with the added bonus of fewer appointments and faster results.
