What are Braces?

Braces are orthodontic appliances used to align and straighten teeth, correct bite issues, and improve overall dental alignment. They consist of brackets, wires, and bands that work together to exert gentle pressure on the teeth, gradually shifting them into proper position.

Correcting Dental Misalignment

Braces are highly effective in correcting various dental alignment issues, such as crooked teeth, overcrowding, gaps, and malocclusions. By gradually shifting the teeth into their ideal positions, braces create a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing smile.

Resolving Bite Problems

Braces can correct bite problems, including overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite. By aligning the teeth and jaws, braces improve chewing efficiency, speech clarity, and overall bite function.

Enhancing Oral Health

Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of plaque buildup, tooth decay, and gum disease. With braces, you can improve your oral hygiene and maintain better overall dental health.

Consultation and Examination

During your initial consultation, our experienced orthodontist will evaluate your dental alignment, discuss your treatment goals, and recommend the most suitable braces option for you. We will address any concerns or questions you may have and create a personalized treatment plan

Braces Placement

Once you have chosen your preferred type of braces, our orthodontist will carefully bond the brackets to the front surface of your teeth using dental adhesive. The wires and bands are then attached to the brackets to apply gentle pressure for tooth movement.

Regular Adjustments

Throughout your braces treatment, you will visit our dental practice for regular adjustments. During these appointments, our orthodontic team will make necessary adjustments to the wires and bands, gradually guiding your teeth into their desired positions.

Oral Hygiene and Maintenance

Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential during braces treatment. Our team will provide you with detailed instructions on proper oral care, including brushing techniques, flossing with braces, and dietary guidelines. Regular dental checkups will also be scheduled to monitor your progress and address any concerns.

Retention Phase

After your braces are removed, a retention phase follows to ensure that your teeth remain in their new positions. This often involves the use of retainers, which help stabilize the teeth and prevent them from shifting back.
