Braces are one of the most common orthodontic treatments available and are an excellent option for nearly all patients. This tried-and-true orthodontic treatment relies on a system of metal brackets, bands and wires to gently realign your teeth and move them into their proper positions. Traditional braces involve the brackets being attached to the front surfaces of your teeth and then connected using the wire and bands. As the wire is adjusted, your teeth are gradually guided into their optimal positions.

Braces correct common orthodontic problems such as:

• Crowded teeth
• Gapped and spaced teeth
• Misaligned teeth
• Malocclusion (bad bites), such as crossbites, open bites, underbites and overbites

While traditional metal braces are the most commonly used type of braces, advances in orthodontics have also made more discreet options available, such as tooth-colored ceramic braces and lingual braces. If you are looking for an alternative orthodontic treatment, please ask our dentist about your options.
