Being an orthodontist is the greatest job in the world! My team and I work diligently each and every day to create an atmosphere where adults and children can enjoy their time with us and feel as though they aren't sitting in a doctor's office. We want our patients to be excited to see us and know they will be receiving the best quality of treatment, and to be comfortable with all aspects of their care.
Here at Bear Braces, affordable braces that give you the selfie-worthy smile you deserve is kind of our specialty (the name says it all, right?!) We offer traditional metal braces at the budget-friendly price of just $2998 to give you the freedom to get the smile you want the WAY you want! Braces are a combination of brackets and wires that work together to straighten your teeth and improve your bite.
We might be called Bear Braces, but rest assured - we are experts in the fine art of Invisalign, as well! Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign does not rely on brackets, wires and other types of industrial strength materials to straighten your smile. Instead, Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners that fit over your teeth.

If you think your teeth are in a hopeless condition you should heavily consider Bear Braces for help. This journey has literally been a life changing experience for me. I never dreamed of having a great smile and Dr. MACHICEK gave me the smile of a lifetime. I cannot believe I waited this long. Thank Bear Braces for changing my smile. I am forever grateful for your help.

Coming from my teenage son, he said it was a nice experience. That’s a huge statement and quite complement. He really enjoyed it overall, as it was fast and they went into good details about what was needed and our next steps.
You do not get to feel that you’re dealing with a used car salesman for the upsell you. That is refreshing and reassuring.

We loved it here, absolutely Great experience. Also…..Is there a number for broken braces we can call for our daughter or do we have to wait until the week?

I went here to get retainers and I was not disappointed. Rather than the putty that has let me down so many times before they have a machine that creates an image of your teeth with perfect precision.

I was told about this place by multiple people and even seen a billboard sign stating they start out at $2998. I called bear braces today and the lady said they start out at 7k depending on the severity of the teeth but price can change after the consultation! I bout fell out my chair. They really false advertising out here.
