Dental Braces

What Dental Braces Do

Braces apply steady, gentle pressure so teeth move a little at a time. Crowding, gaps and bite problems are the usual reasons people come to us. Today's braces are built with modern materials and are effective for all ages, including adults.

Who Braces for Kids, Teens and Adults Can Help

There is no single right age for braces. Some families start with a child or teen, while many adults decide to straighten their teeth later on. Braces are often a good fit for complex cases, or for anyone who likes a classic approach and the simplicity of a fixed treatment.

If you are leaning towards something less visible, compare braces with Invisalign. We will show you both options and recommend the one that suits your case.

Your Braces Process From Consultation to Retainer

1. Consultation: we evaluate your bite and alignment and answer your questions.
2. Custom treatment plan: you get a plan designed for your teeth, with each stage explained.
3. Regular adjustment visits: braces are adjusted at scheduled visits so treatment keeps moving.
4. Retainers: after braces come off, retainers help keep your alignment.

Eating, Brushing and Daily Life With Braces

Food and plaque can collect around brackets and wires, so cleaning takes a little more time. A soft or interdental brush and careful flossing help. Hard, sticky or chewy foods are easier to avoid, and we go over simple habits with you at your visit.

Keep your regular dental cleaning and checkups going while you wear braces, usually about every six months, or more often if we recommend it.
