Braces

  • Traditional braces consist of standard metal brackets that are placed on your teeth with an adhesive and connected by wire. They require periodic tightening every 4-6 weeks so steady pressure can gradually straighten your teeth and align your jaw.

  • Clear braces, also known as ceramic braces, are orthodontic brackets used to straighten teeth and fix bite problems. They consist of clear or tooth-colored ceramic brackets attached to the surface of your teeth with similarly colored wires and rubber bands, which provide more discretion.

  • This system of braces still uses brackets; however, the brackets go on the back of the teeth. As a result, other people cannot see them. This plan is the perfect fit for people who want fixed braces, but who do not want brackets on the front of their teeth. The choice is both an aesthetic and comfortable one.

Common Orthodontic Issues We Treat

  • Crowding occurs when there isn’t enough space in the jaw for all teeth to align properly, causing them to overlap or twist. This can make cleaning difficult and increase the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.

  • Gaps or spaces between teeth can occur naturally or as a result of missing teeth. These spaces may impact the alignment of neighboring teeth and affect the overall appearance of your smile.

  • An overbite happens when the upper front teeth overlap the lower front teeth excessively. If severe, it can cause wear on the lower teeth, jaw discomfort, or even bite problems.

  • An underbite occurs when the lower teeth extend beyond the upper teeth. This condition can affect chewing, speaking, and jaw alignment.

  • A crossbite is when some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth instead of outside. This can lead to uneven wear of teeth, gum issues, or jaw discomfort over time.

  • An open bite occurs when the upper and lower teeth don’t meet when the mouth is closed. This may impact chewing, speech, or aesthetics and can be caused by habits such as thumb-sucking or tongue thrusting.

  • Teeth grinding can lead to worn-down teeth, jaw pain, or damage to dental restorations. Orthodontic treatment can help address the underlying alignment issues contributing to this condition.

  • Whether caused by injury, genetics, or other dental conditions, missing teeth can lead to shifting of surrounding teeth, bite issues, and difficulty chewing. Orthodontic treatment can help close gaps or prepare the space for restorations, such as implants or bridges.

  • Unerupted teeth are teeth that fail to emerge through the gumline, often due to crowding, improper positioning, or being blocked by other teeth. Orthodontic treatment can help guide these teeth into their proper place or create the necessary space for eruption.
