Traditional Braces
Straighten your smile and improve your bite with traditional braces
What are Traditional Braces?
Traditional braces are a reliable orthodontic treatment using metal brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into proper alignment. They effectively correct issues like crowding, gaps, overbites, and underbites, improving both function and appearance. With regular adjustments, braces help restore bite balance and create a healthier, straighter smile.
The Procedure
1. Consultation & Evaluation - Our dentist will examine your teeth, take X-rays, and discuss your goals to determine if traditional braces are the right treatment for you.
2. Braces Placement - Metal brackets are bonded to your teeth and connected with a wire that applies gentle pressure to guide teeth into alignment.
3. Regular Adjustments - You’ll visit the office every few weeks for adjustments, ensuring steady progress as your teeth gradually shift into place.
4. Oral Care & Monitoring - We'll provide instructions on maintaining good oral hygiene with braces and monitor your progress to avoid delays or complications.
5. Braces Removal & Retention - Once treatment is complete, your braces are removed and a custom retainer is provided to help maintain your new smile.
