Why Are Braces Necessary?

Dental braces are recommended for patients with:

  • Bite problems such as: overbite, underbite, deep bite, open bite, or reverse bite.

  • Misaligned teeth.

  • Overcrowded, or widely spaced teeth. 

  • Jaw problems. 

Braces Procedures

Step 1: 

Diagnostic imaging (X-ray) is used to assess your oral health status and to ensure that any present tooth decay or need for tooth extraction is addressed prior to placing dental braces.

Step 2: 

Photographs of the patient's teeth, their alignment, and general face shape are taken. 

Step 3: 

Your dentist will then begin the process by cleaning your teeth to ensure there is no debris on the surfaces of your teeth.

Step 4: 

The teeth are then fully dried before a bonding agent is applied to the teeth to allow the attachment of the orthodontic brackets to the surfaces of teeth.

Step 5: 

Next, a wire is placed in the brackets, which is then secured with elastic bands. Through the course of your orthodontic treatment, your dentist will tighten and reposition the wire and elastic bands. This will slowly guide your teeth into their new position in your oral cavity.

The Benefits of Braces

The benefits of orthodontic treatment include:

  • Overall improvements in smile, bite and speech.
  • Increased ease of brushing and flossing teeth.
