What Are Dental Braces?

Braces are orthodontic appliances used to straighten teeth, fix bite issues, and improve overall dental alignment. They work by applying consistent pressure over time to move teeth into their ideal positions gradually. Our dentist offers braces to give you a healthier, straighter smile you can confidently share. Treatment is tailored to your individual needs, enabling you to achieve lasting results that support both function and appearance.

Our Orthodontic Services

We offer a range of orthodontic options designed to support healthy development, correct misalignment, and create confident smiles at any stage. Whether your child is just starting their orthodontic journey or you're exploring braces for adults, we provide personalized care tailored to your needs. Our orthodontic services include:

Phase 1 Orthodontics: Early intervention treatment typically for children ages 7–10 to help guide jaw development and create space for incoming permanent teeth.
Phase 2 Orthodontics: Full braces treatment that aligns permanent teeth and finalizes bite correction, usually during the teen years.
Damon™ Braces: A self-ligating bracket system that uses gentle forces to move teeth efficiently. These braces often eliminate the need for expanders, reduce the number of office visits, and offer a more comfortable experience.

Our Dental Braces Process

We begin your dental braces journey with a consultation, during which we carefully evaluate your bite, take digital images or scans, and discuss your treatment goals. This first step helps us build a personalized plan that fits your smile and sets the stage for a smooth experience. We take the time to answer your questions and explain what to expect so you feel comfortable moving forward.

Once your treatment plan is ready, we schedule the placement of your braces. To improve accuracy and comfort, we use a method called indirect bonding, where custom trays are created with the brackets already positioned. This allows us to place all the brackets at once instead of one at a time, reducing your time spent in the chair.

Throughout treatment, you'll visit us regularly for adjustments and check-ins as your teeth move into alignment. We monitor your progress closely and make updates as needed, always keeping your comfort and long-term results in mind. From your first consultation to the final appointment, we're here to guide and support you every step of the way.

Braces FAQs

We understand you may have questions regarding our braces services. Our team is by your side throughout your care, ready to answer your questions and enhance your comfort in any way we can. We are dedicated not only to giving you a healthier, straighter smile but also to fostering positive associations with our orthodontic services. Common questions include:

Will braces affect my speech?

Braces may cause a slight change in your speech when they are first placed, especially with certain sounds like "s" or "t." Most people adjust within a few days to a week as the tongue and mouth adapt to the new appliances, and any changes are usually temporary.

How often will I need to visit your orthodontist?

Most patients come in every 4-8 weeks for routine checkups and adjustments. These visits allow our orthodontist to track your progress, make necessary changes, and keep your treatment moving forward as planned.

What should I do if my braces cause mouth sores?

It's common to develop small sores on the cheeks or lips as your mouth adjusts to braces. Applying orthodontic wax over the brackets can help reduce irritation, and over-the-counter gels can help soothe discomfort. If the sores continue or worsen, be sure to notify our orthodontist.

Are there any specific foods I should avoid while wearing braces?

Yes, it's important to avoid hard, sticky, and chewy foods such as popcorn, caramel, nuts, and chewing gum, as they can break brackets or bend wires. Sticking to softer foods and cutting items into smaller pieces will help keep your braces intact and your treatment on track.
