How Do Traditional Braces Work?

One of the first steps in the treatment process with traditional braces is when we bond a series of brackets to the fronts of your teeth. Then, we attach a special wire to the brackets. When you visit us for periodic checkups, we will tighten the wire little by little. With each adjustment, your teeth will move closer to their ideal positions. The total amount of time you spend with braces will depend on the extent of your dental misalignment, your age, and other factors.

What Problems Can Be Treated With Traditional Braces?

Traditional braces are capable of treating virtually any dental misalignment issue. Whether you are suffering with mild crookedness or much more severe problems, this treatment might be right for you.

Crowded Teeth

Teeth that are overlapping or too close together pose a threat to your oral health. Traditional braces, along with a few possible extractions, can give your teeth the space they need to thrive.

Spaces Between Teeth

Having too much space between the teeth is embarrassing and uncomfortable. Braces can bring the teeth closer together to improve your smile’s aesthetics, promote your oral health, and give you a more functional bite.

Incorrect Bite Alignment

An open bite, overbite, underbite, or other type of malocclusion (bite problem) can put excess stress on your jaw and cause many other problems. Braces can play a big role in correcting bite alignment and giving you a healthier, more functional mouth.

Benefits of Traditional Braces

Traditional metal braces offer many benefits, including:

• They can address a wide range of problems. Traditional braces have been proven effective for correcting mild to severe dental misalignment.
• They are suitable for both children and adults. It is a common myth that braces are best suited for teenagers and children. In fact, they can benefit individuals of practically any age.
• Modern braces are more comfortable than their predecessors. Thanks to advances in dental technology, you can expect a relatively comfortable treatment process.
• Braces are always with you. Unlike with clear aligner systems, you will never have to worry about forgetting to wear your braces. That makes them a wonderful option for young patients who might otherwise not comply with treatment to the extent that they should.
• You can express yourself. Braces brackets come in many different colors. Adults typically choose a more neutral, subtle tone, while teenagers tend to love to make a statement with brighter hues.
