The Benefits of Braces
Affordable Treatment
Braces tend to be the most affordable way to straighten your teeth and improve your bite. They also are covered by some dental insurance plans, especially for children under the age of 18.
Extremely Versatile
Braces can be more versatile and powerful than alternatives. With the right treatment plan, our experienced orthodontists can correct almost any issue with your teeth and bite.
Prevents Further Oral Health Problems
Misaligned or crooked teeth are harder to clean, which can raise the risk of gum disease or tooth decay. They also may wear down more quickly, and could be more prone to chipping, cracking, or breaking. Misaligned teeth can contribute to problems like tooth grinding and TMJ/TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder). With braces, you can treat and prevent many of these problems.
The Braces Treatment Process
Orthodontic Consultation
Our orthodontists will complete a thorough orthodontic exam to check the alignment of teeth, crowding, gaps and bite issues. You'll also be able to discuss your smile goals, which will help our orthodontists create a custom treatment plan.
Braces Placement
The process to place braces is simple and non-invasive, usually taking less than an hour. Your orthodontist is looking forward to getting you started on your smile journey when you are ready, including the same day.
Adjustments & Checkups
Once your braces are bonded to your teeth, you'll return to the office for periodic adjustments every 6-8 weeks. During these appointments, your orthodontist will check on your progress, then tighten your braces to make sure your teeth keep moving toward the proper position.
Braces Removal & Retainers
Once your treatment is complete, our orthodontists will remove your braces. Then, they will build a set of retainers for your teeth. Retainers help your teeth maintain the proper position after your braces are removed. You’ll wear these at night to make sure your teeth don’t move back to the original position.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do braces work?
%402x%20(2).svg){kind=icon}
Braces work by applying gradual pressure on the teeth, slowly moving them into the desired alignment. The jaw bone adapts as the braces apply pressure over time, which allows the teeth and their roots to adjust. While all cases are unique, it can take anywhere from six months to two years to correct your smile with braces.
What are the benefits of traditional metal braces?
As a tried and true method, braces are one of the most reliable ways to straighten teeth. Individuals dealing with minor to severe orthodontic issues can benefit from their effectiveness. Unlike clear aligners, you don’t have to worry about removing or losing your braces, setting your smile up for success. This is particularly useful for younger children or those who simply want a hassle-free solution to removable clear aligners.
How do you care for your braces?
Caring for your braces is similar to regular oral healthcare. Make sure to use a soft-bristled brush to keep your teeth, brackets, and wires clean and free from debris. Visit our orthodontists for regular follow-ups to ensure your teeth are adjusting properly and you’ll be braces-free in no time.
Am I a good candidate for braces?
Metal braces are an excellent solution to a number of orthodontic issues. If your teeth are crowded, overlapped, gapped, or crooked, metal braces can restore your smile and shift your teeth back where they belong. Patients struggling with overbites, crossbites, overjets, or open bites are also great candidates for metal braces.
How much do braces cost?
The cost of metal braces is different for each patient. Factors that may affect the cost of your metal braces include the severity of your teeth misalignment, appointment and visits, insurance type, and more. The best way to find out how much you’ll pay for metal braces is to schedule a consultation with our orthodontists.
