Braces
Dental braces consist of brackets and wires, providing an effective solution for correcting complex alignment issues, closing gaps, and straightening teeth in both teens and adults.
Types of Orthodontic Braces
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces, featuring small brackets and wires, are widely recognized for their effectiveness in achieving precise tooth alignment.

Clear ceramic brackets offer a subtle, nearly invisible option for achieving a well-aligned smile.

How long do I have to wear braces?
The length of orthodontic treatment varies based on individual needs. On average, most patients wear braces for 18 to 24 months, though some cases may take more or less time. Your orthodontist will create a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific smile goals.
Do braces cause pain?
Braces can cause mild discomfort, especially after adjustments, but this is typically temporary. Over-the-counter pain relievers and orthodontic wax can help alleviate irritation. Most patients adapt to their braces within a few days.
What foods should be avoided with braces?
To keep your braces in top condition, avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods like nuts, popcorn, caramel, and chewing gum. Cutting food into smaller pieces and choosing softer alternatives can help prevent damage and make eating more comfortable.
