Why Consider Braces?
Many people choose braces treatment for aesthetic reasons, while others consider it to improve their bite and oral functions. The truth is that braces can offer all these benefits and much more. They are a versatile treatment option that can correct multiple orthodontic issues, including:
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps or spacing between teeth
- Overbite, underbite, or crossbite
- Difficulty chewing due to misalignment
- Speech disturbances, particularly due to protruded or gapped teeth
While braces are a great option for teens, they can be equally beneficial for adults who wish to have a more beautiful, healthier smile. After a thorough evaluation, our orthodontist will recommend the best treatment plan depending on your age, dental issues, and personal goals.
Questions About Braces?
Types of Braces We Offer
At our practice, we provide different types of braces to suit your aesthetic preferences and treatment needs.
Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces remain one of the most effective and reliable orthodontic treatments. Our modern braces involve attaching small stainless steel brackets to your teeth and connecting them with a thin orthodontic wire. You can choose between silver or gold brackets, and you can even personalize your look by choosing different colors for elastic ties that hold the wire in place.
Ceramic or Clear Braces
Ceramic or clear braces work just like metal braces but offer a more aesthetic alternative. The brackets are made from a tooth-colored material that blends in with your natural teeth, making them less noticeable. These braces can also correct a wide range of orthodontic issues, improving the alignment of your teeth.
Invisalign® Clear Aligners
For patients looking for a metal-free and aesthetic option, Invisalign® is an ideal choice. This system uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners that gradually shift your teeth into place. They are removable, allowing you to eat, brush, and floss with ease. The overall treatment requires fewer visits, making it a great option for busy lifestyles.
FAQs
How can I know which type of braces is best for me?
Our orthodontist, Dr. Brad, will discuss your preferences and perform a detailed exam to determine the best option.
Do metal braces hurt?
You may feel slight pain or pressure, especially during the initial period and after adjustments, but it can be helped with over-the-counter pain relief.
How often will I need to visit during treatment?
You may need to visit every 4 to 8 weeks for check-ups and adjustments, depending on the type of braces and your treatment plan.
