Dental braces are a trusted and effective way to straighten teeth, correct bite issues, and improve overall oral health. Braces gradually move teeth into the correct position, enhancing function, appearance, and confidence.
Who Can Benefit from Braces?
Braces are suitable for both children and adults and may be recommended for:
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Overbite, underbite, or crossbite
- Gaps between teeth
- Misaligned jaws affecting chewing or speech
Types of Braces We Offer
- Traditional Metal Braces: Durable and effective for all types of tooth alignment issues.
- Ceramic Braces: Tooth-colored braces that are less noticeable.
- Lingual Braces: Placed behind the teeth for a hidden, discreet option.
- Clear Aligners (Invisalign®): Removable, nearly invisible trays for mild to moderate alignment issues.
The Braces Process
- Consultation & Assessment: The dentist or orthodontist examines your teeth, takes X-rays, and discusses your options.
- Treatment Planning: A personalized plan is created based on your bite, teeth alignment, and aesthetic goals.
- Placement: Braces or aligners are fitted to begin gently moving teeth into the desired position.
- Follow-Up Visits: Regular appointments ensure progress, adjustments, and optimal results.
- Retention: After braces are removed, retainers help maintain the new alignment and prevent relapse.
