Why Choose Traditional Braces?

Braces are the classic, gold-standard orthodontic treatment for a reason: they are incredibly effective at correcting a wide range of alignment issues, from simple crookedness to more complex bite problems. Using a combination of brackets and wires, braces apply consistent, controlled pressure to gently guide your teeth into their ideal positions. Today’s braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more aesthetically pleasing than ever before.

For many complex cases, braces remain the most predictable and precise way to achieve your desired outcome.

Your Options for Traditional Braces

We understand that every patient has unique needs and preferences. That’s why we offer a variety of modern braces options to fit your lifestyle.

Metal Braces (The Classic Choice)

What it is:

Made from high-grade stainless steel, these are the most common and durable type of braces. Modern metal braces are smaller and more discreet than the bulky braces of the past.

Key Benefits:

  • Reliable and Effective: Excellent for correcting even the most severe alignment issues.
  • Cost-Effective: Often the most affordable orthodontic option.
  • Durable: Built to withstand daily use.

Ceramic Braces (The Discreet Choice)

What it is:

Ceramic braces function just like metal braces, but the brackets are made from a clear or tooth-colored material that blends in with your teeth.

Key Benefits:

  • Aesthetic Appeal: Much less noticeable than metal braces, making them a popular choice for adults and teens.
  • Equally Effective: They offer the same powerful and precise results as metal braces.

Lingual Braces (The Invisible Choice)

What it is:

Lingual braces are a unique type of brace where the brackets and wires are placed on the back, or “lingual” side, of your teeth.

Key Benefits:

  • Truly Invisible: They are completely hidden from view when you smile.
  • Custom-Made:  The brackets are custom-designed to perfectly fit the unique shape of your teeth for a precise fit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do braces hurt?

You may feel some mild, temporary discomfort for a few days after your braces are first placed and after each adjustment. This is a sign that your teeth are moving and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

Treatment time varies based on the complexity of your case. A comprehensive assessment will give you a detailed timeline, but most treatments last between 18 to 24 months.

To protect your braces, you should avoid hard, crunchy, sticky, and chewy foods like popcorn, gum, and hard sweets. We’ll give you a full list of what to avoid and how to care for your braces.
