If your teeth are crowded or crooked, traditional braces may be the perfect solution for you. At Lifeworks Dental, our skilled dentists recommend braces to slowly adjust your tooth alignment, providing you with a better bite and a more beautiful smile. We welcome you to schedule an orthodontic consultation to learn more about how braces can benefit you.
What Are Braces?
Braces are a type of orthodontic treatment that use brackets and wires to gradually move your teeth into the correct position. The brackets are attached to your teeth and connected by wires, which are periodically adjusted to guide your teeth into proper alignment. Braces are effective for treating a variety of dental issues, including:
- Crowded teeth
- Crooked teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Misaligned bites (overbite, underbite, crossbite, open bite)
Benefits of Braces
- Improved Appearance: Braces straighten your teeth, giving you a more attractive and confident smile.
- Better Oral Health: Correctly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
- Enhanced Functionality: Properly aligned teeth improve your ability to chew and speak effectively.
- Long-Term Results: Braces provide long-lasting results, ensuring your smile stays beautiful and healthy for years to come.
The Braces Process
- Consultation: During your initial consultation, our dentists will evaluate your teeth and bite to determine if braces are the right treatment for you. We will discuss your orthodontic needs and goals and create a personalized treatment plan.
- Placement: If braces are recommended, we will attach the brackets to your teeth and connect them with an archwire. This process is painless and typically takes about one to two hours.
- Adjustments: You will visit our office periodically for adjustments. During these appointments, we will tighten the archwire to continue moving your teeth into the desired position.
- Completion: Once your teeth are properly aligned, we will remove the braces and provide you with a retainer to maintain your new smile.
