About Conventional Braces

During the treatment process, you’ll be under the continuous care of Dr. Smith, who will provide you with one-on-one guidance regarding your case. He has the expertise to detect the subtle adjustments your brackets will need to create your perfect, custom smile, and will make those adjustments at each visit. You’ll meet with Dr. Smith every five to six weeks throughout treatment so he can make sure your case is progressing as it should.

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Conventional Braces

HOW DO BRACES WORK?

Braces are bonded brackets, arch wires and elastic bands that move your crowded or spaced teeth into the proper position, improving both appearance and function. Over a period of time, your teeth will shift as constant, gentle pressure is applied. Brackets are bonded to the front surface of each tooth and wires are attached to the brackets with elastic bands. The slight tension on the wire is gently transferred to the bracket through the elastic band.

AM I A CANDIDATE FOR BRACES?

You can benefit from braces no matter your age. Dr. Smith can provide pre-ortho treatment for children as well as full braces for teenagers and adults. Teeth shift over the years, and it’s becoming more and more common for adults to realign their smiles with braces, so don’t hesitate to make an appointment with Dr. Smith. He can give you your smile back, boosting your confidence and improving your oral health.
