A True Classic, Technologically Enhanced
Metal braces have come a long way. At Hugo Orthodontics, we use the latest bracket systems and digital planning tools to deliver faster, more comfortable, and more precise results — especially for complex cases.
They’re not just for teens, either. Braces remain a great choice for adults who want efficient and predictable outcomes without the higher cost of clear aligners.
What are the Costs?
Hugo Orthodontics prides itself on being one of the most affordable orthodontic practices in the country. We’re proud to match our fees with current medical aid rates while maintaining the highest levels of quality.
