Braces remain a popular option for straightening teeth and aligning the bite for a simple reason\u2014they\u2019re extremely effective. Unlike the braces of the past, however, today\u2019s braces are smaller, more comfortable, and available in a variety of materials that give patients a wider range of aesthetic choices in treatment. Teenagers and adults alike have found braces to be a tried-and-true solution for achieving an even, attractive smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Use Braces?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Braces are a fixed orthodontic appliance that works around the clock for efficient, convenient correction. Brackets are placed on the teeth with a special adhesive, and an archwire is added to exert steady, gentle pressure to guide the teeth into the desired position. Because they\u2019re bonded to your teeth, there\u2019s nothing to lose or forget. Braces are also relatively affordable compared to other teeth-straightening options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Can I Expect When I Get Braces?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

How long an individual patient will need to wear braces depends on many factors: the specific issue being treated, the age of the patient when they start treatment, and what type of braces they choose. In general, teen patients tend to complete their treatment more quickly than adults, as their teeth move more readily. However, it\u2019s never too late to get the beautiful smile you\u2019ve dreamed of! We successfully treat adult patients every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While your braces are on, you\u2019ll need to avoid certain hard and sticky foods, and you\u2019ll need to take extra care with dental hygiene to keep your teeth as healthy as possible during treatment. Balanced against the lifetime reward of a beautiful smile and healthy bite, these temporary restrictions are a minor inconvenience well worth the effort to maintain. We work with our patients to ensure they know how to keep their braces in top condition for fast, effective treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Much Do Braces Cost?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Like the treatment plan itself, the cost of braces from patient to patient varies based on the issues being addressed and the type of braces chosen. We offer a number of convenient payment options to help keep your orthodontic treatment within your budget, as well as working with you to maximize any applicable insurance coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
