What Are Braces?

Braces are a trusted orthodontic treatment that gradually moves teeth into proper alignment using gentle, controlled pressure. They are designed to correct a variety of orthodontic concerns while improving both the appearance and function of your smile.

Braces may be recommended to address:

  • Teeth crowding
  • spaces between teeth
  • overbites
  • underbites
  • crossbites
  • open bites

Straightening your teeth can also make brushing and flossing easier, helping reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. According to the American Dental Association's MouthHealthy resource on braces, orthodontic treatment can improve bite function and support long-term oral health.

Benefits of Braces

Braces improve more than your smile's appearance. Proper alignment supports better function and long-term oral health.

Benefits include:

  • straighter teeth
  • better bite
  • easier cleaning
  • improved chewing
  • less tooth wear
  • greater confidence

Correcting alignment can help protect your teeth and support a healthier smile over time.

Who is a Good Candidate for Braces?

Braces are a suitable orthodontic treatment for children, teens, and adults with alignment or bite concerns. They can help correct crowded or crooked teeth, spacing issues, and bite misalignment. During your consultation, our team will evaluate your smile and recommend the treatment option that best fits your needs.

What to Expect During Treatment

Initial Consultation

Your treatment begins with a comprehensive exam and digital imaging to evaluate your teeth and bite. We then create a personalized treatment plan based on your needs.

Braces Placement and Adjustments

Your braces are carefully placed to begin aligning your teeth. Routine follow-up appointments help us evaluate your progress and make any necessary adjustments throughout your treatment.

Retainer After Treatment

After your braces are removed, you'll be fitted with a custom retainer to help keep your teeth in their new positions. Treatment time varies, and our team will guide you through every stage of the process.

Caring for Your Braces

Maintaining good oral hygiene during treatment helps protect your teeth and supports the best possible results.

We recommend:

  • Brush after meals.
  • Floss around brackets.
  • Avoid hard and sticky foods.
  • Keep regular dental visits.
  • Wear elastics as directed.
  • Use a mouthguard for sports.

Following these habits can help keep your treatment on track and your smile healthy.

FAQs

Can I chew gum while wearing braces?

It is generally best to avoid chewing gum, especially sticky varieties, because it can damage brackets or become caught in the wires.

What happens if I lose a separator or elastic before my appointment?

Contact our office for instructions. Depending on your treatment stage, you may need to come in sooner to have it replaced.

Can I whiten my teeth while wearing braces?

Teeth whitening is usually recommended after braces are removed so the results are more even across all tooth surfaces.

Do braces set off metal detectors at airports or security checkpoints?

No. Orthodontic braces do not typically trigger airport or security metal detectors.

Can I continue playing contact sports with braces?

Yes. Wearing a properly fitted orthodontic mouthguard can help protect your teeth, lips, and braces during sports activities.
