Traditional Braces
Traditional braces have made many advancements over the years and are more comfortable than they have ever been. When it comes to straightening your teeth we have options! There is no age restriction for straightening your teeth and can be beneficial at any age. Some patients may even be candidates for Invisalign, a way of aligning your teeth with clear aligners. When choosing a treatment option that is best for you, there are several factors to consider, such as the severity of your dental issues, your lifestyle, age and personal preference.
Traditional metal braces consist of a bracket attached to the teeth, connected by an archwire, and secured with elastics, which apply gentle, continuous pressure to straighten the teeth and align the jaw over time. This type of treatment provides precise control over tooth movements, which is ideal for more complex cases.
