Today’s braces are significantly different from the bulky metal appliances of the past. Modern braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more effective than ever before. Advanced materials and improved design make treatment faster and more comfortable for children.
Our braces use high-quality stainless steel brackets and wires designed specifically for pediatric patients. These materials are durable, comfortable, and effective at moving teeth into their proper positions. The brackets are smaller and smoother than older versions, reducing irritation and making oral hygiene easier to maintain. We also offer colorful elastic bands, allowing children to personalize their braces and express their personality. This customization helps many children feel more excited about their treatment and more confident wearing braces.
The wire technology used in modern braces is particularly advanced. These wires apply gentle, continuous pressure to move teeth efficiently while minimizing discomfort. The improved design means fewer adjustments are needed, reducing the number of office visits required throughout treatment.
Braces can address virtually any orthodontic problem, from simple crowding to complex bite issues.
Traditional braces have decades of research supporting their effectiveness and reliability.
Braces provide orthodontists with precise control over tooth movement for optimal results.
Braces work by applying gentle, continuous pressure to gradually move teeth into their correct positions. The system consists of brackets bonded to each tooth and connected by a wire that guides tooth movement. Regular adjustments ensure steady progress toward the desired result.
The process begins with careful treatment planning using digital imaging and models of your child’s teeth. This planning phase allows us to map out the entire treatment process and predict the final outcome. Each adjustment appointment involves replacing or adjusting the wire to continue guiding teeth into their proper positions. These appointments are typically comfortable and brief, lasting about 30 minutes. Children often look forward to these visits as an opportunity to choose new colored bands for their braces.
Throughout treatment, we monitor progress carefully and make any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal results. Most children adapt quickly to wearing braces and experience minimal discomfort. Any initial soreness typically subsides within a few days of getting braces or after adjustments.
Our most popular option, featuring durable stainless steel brackets and wires for effective treatment.
These braces use special clips instead of elastic bands, reducing friction and potentially shortening treatment time.
Tooth-colored brackets provide a more aesthetic option while maintaining the effectiveness of traditional braces.
Getting braces involves several steps designed to ensure your child receives the best possible care throughout their treatment journey. We take time to explain each step and answer any questions you or your child may have.
The process begins with a comprehensive consultation where we examine your child’s teeth, jaw, and bite. We’ll take X-rays and impressions to create a detailed treatment plan. This planning phase is crucial for achieving optimal results and typically takes about an hour. Once treatment begins, your child will visit our office regularly for adjustments. These appointments are typically scheduled every 4-8 weeks and involve replacing or adjusting the wire to continue guiding teeth into their proper positions.
We provide detailed instructions on caring for braces, including proper brushing and flossing techniques. Maintaining good oral hygiene during treatment is essential for achieving the best results and preventing complications. Our team is always available to answer questions and provide support throughout the treatment process.
