Straighten Your Smile With Braces
Braces are a traditional orthodontic treatment that can effectively address moderate to severe crowding, misalignment, and bite problems (malocclusion). They consist of metal brackets attached to the teeth, connected by a thin wire that is adjusted at each orthodontic visit. These adjustments gradually move the teeth into better alignment, giving you a straighter, healthier smile.
Braces are suitable for patients of all ages—kids, teens, and even adults—making them a versatile and reliable option for correcting dental alignment issues. Whether you're looking to improve your smile or address functional concerns, braces can be an excellent choice for achieving lasting results.
Why Are Braces Necessary for Dental Health?
Metal braces are an excellent solution for patients of all ages, capable of addressing a wide range of orthodontic issues. We often recommend traditional braces for those requiring extensive care. Some common problems that braces can effectively fix include:
1
Overcrowding
2
Crooked or misaligned teeth
3
Malocclusion (bite) problems
4
Uneven spacing and gaps between teeth
Braces help realign your teeth, improving both the function and appearance of your smile. Whether for cosmetic reasons or to correct bite issues, braces can play a key role in achieving long-term dental health.
Who Can Benefit From Braces?
It’s not uncommon for teeth to be less than perfectly straight. Severe crowding or misalignment can even make it difficult to maintain proper oral hygiene. If you’re struggling with these issues, an examination can help determine if braces are right for you.
Braces are a long-term solution, as they remain affixed to the teeth until the treatment is complete. This makes them suitable for patients of all ages, from children to adults, helping to achieve a healthier, more aligned smile. Let us help you determine if braces are the best option for your needs!
What to Expect During Your Braces Treatment?
Braces treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation, which includes x-rays, impressions, and an exam. This helps us get to know you or your child and evaluate the smile that needs correction.
Once the assessment is complete, we attach metal brackets to the teeth and thread a thin metal wire through them. The wire is held in place with small rubber bands, available in a variety of fun colors to add a personal touch.
Every few weeks, you'll return for adjustments to the wire, ensuring continued progress. The length of treatment can vary, from a few months to several years, depending on the individual's needs. Our goal is to make your treatment as comfortable and efficient as possible while delivering lasting, beautiful results.
