How braces work

Every Bracket Placed & Checked By Your Orthodontist

Braces are small brackets bonded to each tooth and joined by a wire that guides your teeth, a little at a time, into a healthier position. Because every tooth is controlled directly, braces handle everything from crowding to complex bite problems.

Always working. Braces cannot be left out, so treatment stays on schedule.

Precise. [core_provider_name provider="1"] adjusts the wire to move each tooth exactly where it needs to go.

Two styles. Metal braces or ceramic (clear) braces, chosen with you.

Treatment starts with records at your free consultation, including a digital scan of your teeth. [core_provider_name provider=”1″] explains what he sees, how long treatment is likely to take and what it costs before anything begins.

Metal braces

Metal Braces That Keep Up With Your Day

Metal braces use stainless steel brackets and wires. They are durable, efficient and the most common choice for kids and teens.

Durable. Built to handle sports, school and busy days.

Efficient. Excellent control for complex tooth movements.

Your style. Colored bands can be changed at each adjustment.

Ceramic braces

Ceramic Braces That Blend With Your Smile

Ceramic braces work like metal braces but use clear, tooth-colored brackets, so they are much harder to notice. Adults and older teens often choose them for that reason.

Discreet. Brackets that match the natural color of your teeth.

Same control. The precision of braces with a softer look.

Good to know. Ceramic brackets need a little extra care with foods and drinks that stain.

Braces for kids

Braces For Kids

Some children benefit from treatment while their jaws are still growing. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic check by age seven, so problems can be spotted early.

Early checks. Most children only need monitoring, and you will know if they do.

Growth on our side. Expanders and early treatment can make room while a young jaw is still developing.

Gentle visits. Children are welcomed in a relaxed office and given time to get comfortable.

Braces for teens

Braces For Teens

The teen years are the most common time for braces, because most adult teeth are in and the jaws are still growing. Treatment is planned around school, sports and activities.

Metal or ceramic. Teens choose the look that suits them.

Fits a busy schedule. Appointments Monday to Thursday, with time between visits.

Invisalign too. Some teens are a good fit for clear aligners instead.

Braces for adults

Braces For Adults

It is never too late to straighten your teeth. Adults choose braces to correct crowding, close gaps or fix a bite that has bothered them for years, and ceramic braces keep treatment discreet.

Healthy teeth move at any age. Healthy gums and bone are what matter most.

Discreet options. Ceramic braces, Invisalign and 3M Clarity aligners.

Plan around work. Visits are short and scheduled with your week in mind.

What braces treat

Crowding, Gaps & Bites We Fix For You

Braces treat more than crooked teeth. Because they control each tooth and the way the upper and lower teeth meet, they correct bite problems that affect chewing, speech, wear on the teeth and how easy they are to keep clean.

Crowding. Too little room, so teeth overlap or twist.

Spacing. Gaps between teeth that trap food and change the smile.

Overbite and underbite. Upper or lower teeth that sit too far forward.

Crossbite and open bite. Teeth that meet on the wrong side, or do not meet at all.

At your consultation, [core_provider_name provider=”1″] explains which of these he sees, why it matters for your teeth over time, and what treatment would change. Some problems are cosmetic, and some affect how the teeth wear and function. You will know which is which before you decide.

During treatment

Your Treatment, Visit By Visit

Getting braces takes about an hour and does not hurt. After that, short adjustment visits every six to ten weeks keep your teeth moving on plan, and [core_provider_name provider=”1″] checks your progress himself each time.

Placement day. Brackets are bonded to clean teeth and the first wire goes in.

Adjustments. Quick visits to change wires and check progress.

Braces off. Brackets come off, your teeth are polished and your retainer is fitted.

Most comprehensive treatment takes between one and two years, depending on the problem being corrected and how consistently elastics and appointments are kept. Your estimate is given at the consultation and reviewed as treatment goes on.

How Long Will I Wear Braces?

Most comprehensive treatment takes between one and two years. [core_provider_name provider=”1″] gives you an estimate for your own case at your free consultation.

Braces do not hurt to put on. Teeth can feel sore for a few days after placement and after adjustments, and soft foods and over-the-counter pain relief usually help.

What Is The Difference Between Metal & Ceramic Braces?

Both work the same way. Ceramic braces use tooth-colored brackets that are harder to notice, while metal braces are the most durable choice for active kids and teens.

How Often Are Appointments?

Most patients visit every six to ten weeks for adjustments, and appointments are scheduled Monday to Thursday.

Can I Still Play Sports & Instruments?

Yes. Wear a mouthguard for contact sports, and most musicians adjust to braces within a few weeks.

What Happens After My Braces Come Off?

You wear a retainer to keep your teeth in their new positions. [core_provider_name provider=”1″] explains how and when to wear it.
