If you have misaligned teeth, you may be thinking about getting braces to straighten them. That is an excellent idea! Traditional metal braces have already helped countless individuals to achieve more confident smiles and improve their oral health — it is likely that they can help you as well. On this page, you will learn more about braces, how they work, and how they may benefit you.
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.

The total amount of time you spend with braces will depend on the extent of your dental misalignment, your age, and other factors.
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.
