Teeth braces, also known as orthodontic braces, are a widely used and effective dental treatment designed to straighten misaligned or crooked teeth and correct various bite issues. Braces work by applying gentle and controlled forces to gradually move the teeth into their proper positions over time.
This orthodontic intervention not only enhances the aesthetics of a smile but also improves oral health and function. Every smile is unique, and so is every orthodontic treatment plan. Our orthodontists carefully assess your specific needs, consider your preferences, and create a personalized treatment plan to achieve the best possible results.
Time-tested and reliable, traditional braces use metal brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into their proper positions.
For a more discreet orthodontic option, we offer Invisalign clear aligners. These virtually invisible aligners are custom-made for your teeth, providing a comfortable and convenient way to straighten your smile
After orthodontic treatment, retainers help maintain the newly achieved alignment of your teeth.
Orthodontic treatment may be recommended for various reasons, including crowded or crooked teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and gaps between teeth. The ideal time to consider orthodontic treatment is during adolescence when the jaw is still growing, but adults can benefit from orthodontics as well.
The choice between braces and Invisalign depends on factors such as the complexity of your orthodontic issues, personal preferences, and lifestyle. Traditional braces are effective for addressing various cases, while Invisalign offers a discreet, removable alternative for mild to moderate orthodontic concerns.
The duration of orthodontic treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case, the type of orthodontic appliance used, and individual factors. On average, treatment may take anywhere from several months to a few years. Our orthodontists will provide a personalized treatment plan with an estimated timeline during your initial consultation.
While you may experience some discomfort or soreness after the initial placement of braces or adjustments, it is generally not considered painful. Over-the-counter pain relievers and orthodontic wax can help alleviate any discomfort. Invisalign users typically experience less initial discomfort compared to traditional braces.
