Why Have Braces?

Braces are an orthodontic treatment designed to help correct a range of issues like:

Overcrowded or crooked teeth
Overbites
Underbites

These issues can make it harder to clean your teeth properly and introduce several issues associated with a bad bite. When you have a bad bite, you can develop jaw problems and increase the risk of experiencing a dental emergency.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you need braces, we’ll create a personalized orthodontic treatment plan unique to your needs. Because everybody’s teeth and oral health are different, the strategies we use can vary between patients. For example, we may combine braces with other strategies like retainers or oral surgery to ensure your teeth and bite are aligned properly.

When you come in for your consultation appointment, we’ll perform a comprehensive dental exam to look at the issues we might need to address and determine which strategies may be most suitable for your oral health. Please feel free to ask any questions or stress any concerns you might have during your appointment.

By understanding and addressing your needs, we aim to provide a comfortable, results-focused experience.

How Long Do I Need Braces?

Orthodontic treatments are multi-stage processes that generally require about 2 years to complete.

Absolutely.

Adult braces are becoming more and more common as people look for more permanent answers to their oral health concerns. However, if you’re looking for a more discreet way to straighten your teeth, we could offer Invisalign™ as an alternative to the traditional braces process.
