Our range of orthodontic treatments and flexible pricing options make braces accessible for patients of all ages in Northeast Minneapolis and beyond. Whether you're considering adult braces, ceramic braces, or other orthodontic solutions, we offer transparent pricing and payment plans to fit your budget.
Adult Braces: Affordable Options for a Confident Smile
Orthodontic braces for adults have become increasingly popular, and for good reason. Our adult braces options include:
Traditional metal braces
Ceramic braces for a more discreet look
3D Printed Lightforce braces
We understand that as an adult, you may have unique concerns about braces. That's why we offer flexible pricing and treatment plans tailored to your specific needs and goals.
Ceramic Braces: The Clear Choice for Aesthetics
Ceramic dental braces offer a perfect balance between effectiveness and aesthetics. These braces use clear or tooth-colored brackets, making them less noticeable than traditional metal braces. Our ceramic braces pricing is comprehensive, including the initial consultation, custom treatment plan, regular adjustments, and aftercare with retainers.

As a modern, evidence-based practice, we're proud to offer LightForce braces. These custom-made, 3D-printed braces provide:
Increased comfort
Shorter treatment times
Precise results
Our flexible pricing for LightForce braces ensures this advanced technology is within reach for our patients.

“I began treatment at Mill City Orthodontics after transferring from a different office that was not meeting my expectations. Dr. Padovano and the front desk staff Haley, have made the transition very smooth and easy. They are always very welcoming and compassionate. I would highly recommend Mill City Orthodontics!”
Partial Braces: Targeted Treatment, Affordable Price
For minor alignment issues, partial braces can be an excellent, cost-effective solution. Our partial braces pricing covers focused treatment on specific areas, resulting in shorter overall treatment time and reduced cost compared to full braces.
Flexible Payment Options
We believe that financial constraints shouldn't prevent you from achieving your ideal smile. That's why we offer:
Interest-free payment plans
Acceptance of most dental insurance plans
Financing options through OrthoFi
Discounts for families and upfront payments
