What Are
Orthodontic Braces?

Orthodontic or dental braces are a popular dental treatment designed to straighten your teeth over time. By applying gentle pressure with regular readjustments, braces are able to gradually move crooked teeth into the desired position. This can even be used to correct an incorrect bite: such as an overbite, underbite, open bite, cross bite or protruding teeth.

Not only do braces enhance the appearance of your teeth, but the proper alignment of teeth also provides numerous oral health benefits such as making them easier to clean and harder for food debris to get trapped or build up.

If you're considering cosmetic dentistry, dental composite bonding can also help create a straighter appearance for slightly crooked front teeth.

What Is The Purpose Of Orthodontic Braces?

The purpose of orthodontic braces is to correct dental misalignments and malocclusions (bite problems) in order to achieve a straighter and healthier smile. Braces work by applying gentle and controlled forces to gradually move the teeth into their proper positions over a period of time.

By repositioning the teeth, braces help improve the overall appearance of the smile, enhance facial symmetry, and create a more harmonious relationship between the teeth and jaws.

Choosing Orthodontic Braces

Rebuild Your Smile With Orthodontic Braces

Choose the best orthodontic option for your lifestyle and treatment goals, whether it's traditional, discreet, or clear aligners.

Metal Braces(also known as traditional braces)

Common metal braces have brackets, wires, and elastics. They are durable and affordable, suitable for all ages. Treatment can take 1-3 years.

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces blend with teeth, providing a discreet option. They are popular for subtle orthodontic treatment.

Lingual Braces

Lingual braces are hidden behind teeth, making them nearly invisible. No extra treatment time like braces, but pricier and may cause discomfort.

Self-ligating Braces

These braces use a unique mechanism that eliminates the need for elastic bands. As a result, they may offer faster treatment times and require fewer adjustments.

Invisalign

Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to align teeth without brackets or wires. Simple cases can take as little as 6 months.

For Your Dental Braces

Aftercare For Dental Braces

01
Avoid certain foods
Avoid hard, sticky, and chewy foods to protect your braces. With Invisalign, eat normally but remove aligners before meals.
02
Sleep smart
If you have metal, ceramic, or self-ligating braces, avoid sleeping on your side or stomach, as this can put pressure on your braces and affect the alignment process. Try sleeping on your back to protect your braces.
03
Maintain good oral hygiene
Brush your teeth gently at least twice a day, making sure to floss regularly and use mouthwash to keep your mouth clean. After completing your treatment, continue wearing your retainer as instructed to maintain your new smile.
