What are Braces?
Braces are an orthodontic system that uses brackets and slim wires to move teeth into better positions. Small, measured forces shift teeth, guide roots, and correct the way your upper and lower teeth meet. The result is a straighter smile and a healthier bite that is easier to clean.
You may be a candidate for braces if you have crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, crossbite, or rotated teeth. Teens and adults can both benefit. If you want a nearly invisible option, ask about ceramic brackets or whether clear aligners could work for your case.
There are several styles. Traditional metal braces are strong and reliable for all case types. Ceramic braces blend with enamel for lower visibility. Self ligating braces can reduce friction on the wire, which may help with comfort and hygiene. We will guide you to the right choice.

How Braces works
Braces follow a clear path from records to retainers. The goal is a straight smile and a stable bite that lasts.
Step 1: Consultation and records
We capture photos, X-rays, and a digital scan. Your orthodontist studies your bite, sets goals, and recommends metal or ceramic brackets.
Step 2: Bracket bonding and first wire
Brackets are placed with care, then a light, flexible wire starts alignment. You receive comfort tips, wax, and hygiene guidance.
Step 3: Adjustment visits
At regular intervals, wires progress and elastics may be added to guide your bite. We check brushing, clean around brackets, and keep you on schedule.
Step 4: Debonding and retainers
Brackets come off, teeth are polished, and custom retainers are delivered with a clear wear plan to protect your new smile.

Related Dental Treatments
A full orthodontic plan sometimes pairs braces with other treatments. Here are common options patients compare or combine for the best result.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners use a series of removable trays to guide teeth into place. They work well for many mild to moderate cases and offer easy brushing and eating since trays come out. Complex rotations and root control may still favor braces. Some patients do a hybrid plan that starts with braces for control and finishes with aligners for fine detail.

Palatal Expanders and Interceptive Ortho
For growing patients, early expansion can create room, guide jaw growth, and shorten future treatment. Interceptive care may reduce extractions and make alignment simpler later. Timing matters, so an early eval helps. Even if you wait, you will know the best window for action.

FAQs
How long do braces take?
Most cases take 18 to 24 months, though simple alignment can be faster and complex bites can take a bit longer. Your timeline depends on crowding, bite issues, and how consistently you follow elastic and hygiene instructions. We share a clear plan at the start and update progress as you move through wire stages. Consistent visits keep you on schedule.
Will braces hurt?
You will feel pressure after bonding and after some adjustments. This tenderness usually peaks in 24–48 hours and then fades. Soft foods and over-the-counter pain relief help, and wax protects spots that rub. If a wire pokes or something feels sharp, we can fix it quickly so you stay comfortable.
What foods should I avoid with braces?
Skip very sticky foods like caramels and taffy, and avoid very hard items like nuts, popcorn kernels, and ice. These can bend wires or break brackets, which slows progress. Cut firm foods such as apples into small pieces and chew with your back teeth. Smart choices protect your investment.
How often are adjustment visits?
Most patients are seen every 4 to 8 weeks depending on the wire sequence and case goals. These visits allow us to change wires, add elastics, and check hygiene. If you are traveling, we can group steps when appropriate and coordinate dates. Staying on rhythm keeps treatment efficient.
Am I a candidate for ceramic or self ligating braces?
Ceramic brackets blend with enamel and are popular for lower visibility, especially for adults. Self ligating systems use special clips to hold the wire, which may help with comfort and cleaning around brackets. Your choice depends on case needs, visibility preferences, and budget. We will explain tradeoffs so you can decide with confidence.
What happens after braces come off?
We remove the brackets, clean the enamel, and take impressions or scans for retainers. You will receive a wear plan that starts full time and then steps down to nights. Retainers keep teeth from relapsing as gums and bone settle around the new positions. Keep them safe and let us know if they feel loose or tight so we can adjust early.
