Our orthodontic appliances are available in metal or clearandare bonded directly to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move the teeth to theirproper position.
Gone are the days with a metal band and bracket were placed around each and every tooth. Now wires are far less noticeable, and the latest materials are designed to move teeth faster and with more comfort. Today, braces are no longer just for adolescents and teens, they are for everyone!
Treatment time varies and can last between one and three years. Several factors including age, treatment method, and the severity of the correction needed all impact thelength of treatment. A big factor in a successful treatment is you! The more involved and diligent you are, the better your treatment results.
