KLOwen® Custom Braces
With KLOwen® technology, each bracket is custom-designed for each tooth.
What are KLOwen® custom braces?
KLOwen is a fully customized braces system that uses digital technology to personalize the brackets and treatment plan to your individual smile.
KLOwen brackets are custom-designed for each tooth based on Dr. Coombs’ treatment plan.
The brackets are then placed using a custom tray, allowing them to be positioned precisely and efficiently.
The result is braces treatment planned specifically around your teeth, bite, and smile goals from the start.
How do KLOwen braces work?
Your KLOwen treatment starts with a digital scan of your teeth.
Using advanced digital treatment planning, Dr. Coombs plans how each tooth needs to move to create your new smile.
Your KLOwen brackets are then customized to your teeth and treatment plan.
A custom placement tray allows multiple brackets to be positioned precisely at once, helping us translate Dr. Coombs’ digital plan to your smile.
Once your braces are in place, Dr. Coombs will monitor your progress and make adjustments as your teeth move into their planned positions.
Beautiful smiles with fewer appointments.
KLOwen® combines custom brackets with advanced digital treatment planning to create a braces experience personalized to your smile from the start.
Because each bracket is designed around your individual teeth and Dr. Coombs’ treatment plan, KLOwen can help make tooth movement more precise and treatment more efficient.
More Efficient Treatment
KLOwen’s customized approach is designed to move each tooth according to your digital treatment plan from the start. According to KLOwen, patients experience 41% less treatment time on average.
Fewer Office Visits
More precise treatment planning can also mean fewer adjustments along the way. KLOwen reports an average of 45% fewer office visits, helping you spend less time at the orthodontist and more time doing what you love.
A More Comfortable Fit
Because KLOwen brackets are customized to your individual teeth, they’re designed for a precise fit. KLOwen also reports 49% fewer broken brackets on average, which may mean fewer unexpected trips to the orthodontist.
Precision From the Start
Your KLOwen braces are designed around Dr. Coombs’ plan for your individual smile. This gives him precise control over bracket placement and planned tooth movement, with treatment personalized to your teeth, bite, and smile goals.

How much do custom braces cost?
Your treatment cost will depend on your treatment length and case complexity.
For all of our orthodontic treatments, we offer various discounts, as well as 0% interest in-house financing and CareCredit financing, and our team will submit your insurance claim to help lower the cost of custom KLOwen braces.
At your first visit to our office, we’ll create a custom payment plan that suits your budget.
KLOwen Custom Braces vs. Traditional Braces
Both KLOwen and traditional braces use brackets and wires to move your teeth, but the way treatment is planned and the brackets are designed is different.
Traditional braces use standardized brackets. KLOwen uses brackets customized to the individual patient and digitally plans their placement based on the desired tooth movements.
For Dr. Coombs, that customization means greater control and precision from the beginning of treatment.
For you, it can mean more efficient treatment, fewer appointments, and a braces experience personalized to your smile.
Frequently Asked Questions About KLOwen braces
Who is a good candidate for KLOwen custom braces?
KLOwen can be a great option for patients who need braces and want a fully customized approach to treatment.
Because each bracket is designed specifically for the individual tooth, KLOwen gives Dr. Coombs the ability to create a treatment plan tailored to your unique smile.
During your consultation, Dr. Coombs will evaluate your teeth, bite, and treatment goals to determine whether KLOwen is the right fit for you.
Can adults get KLOwen custom braces?
Absolutely. KLOwen custom braces can be an excellent option for adults who want the effectiveness of braces with a more personalized approach to treatment.
Dr. Coombs will consider your orthodontic needs, lifestyle, and goals when recommending the best treatment option for you. In some cases, we may also discuss Invisalign® as an alternative.
Can children and teens get KLOwen braces?
Yes. KLOwen can be a great option for children and teens who need comprehensive orthodontic treatment.
Because the system is customized to each patient’s teeth, it allows Dr. Coombs to create a treatment plan designed specifically around their developing smile.
We’ll evaluate your child’s orthodontic needs and recommend the treatment option that makes the most sense for them.
Are KLOwen braces available for every orthodontic problem?
KLOwen is designed to treat a wide range of orthodontic concerns, but there isn’t one treatment that is right for every patient or every case.
The best way to determine whether KLOwen is appropriate is through a comprehensive evaluation.
We’ll look at your teeth, bite, and overall orthodontic needs and explain which treatment options can give you the best result.
How are KLOwen braces different from Invisalign®?
KLOwen and Invisalign® are both customized treatment options, but they use very different approaches.
KLOwen uses custom braces that are attached directly to your teeth, while Invisalign® uses a series of clear, removable aligners.
During your consultation, we’ll explain the advantages of each option and help you decide which approach is best suited to your smile, lifestyle, and treatment goals.
What happens at a KLOwen braces consultation?
Your first step is a complimentary consultation and exam with Dr. Coombs. We’ll evaluate your smile and discuss what you would like to change, then explain your treatment options and what we recommend for your individual needs.
If KLOwen is a good fit, we can walk you through the next steps for beginning your customized treatment.
How are KLOwen braces customized for my teeth?
KLOwen uses a fully digital process to create brackets that are custom-designed for each individual tooth.
Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, your brackets and treatment plan are designed around your unique smile.
This level of customization allows Dr. Coombs to plan tooth movement with greater precision and create a treatment approach tailored specifically to you.
Are KLOwen braces still real braces?
Yes. KLOwen is a braces system, so the brackets are bonded to your teeth and work throughout treatment to move your teeth into their ideal positions.
What makes KLOwen different is the level of customization behind the braces. Each bracket is designed specifically for your individual teeth rather than using a standard bracket prescription for everyone.
Lead with a smile.
