Why Should I Choose Braces?
Straight teeth are more than just beautiful. Not only does a straight smile make you feel more confident, but it also helps protect your oral health. Crooked teeth can contribute to oral health issues, such as a higher risk of cavities, premature wear and tear, and more. Braces are a time-tested, cost-effective way to straighten your teeth, improve your bite, and enhance both your appearance and your oral health.
Did You Know?
More than half of all Americans feel self-conscious about their teeth. If you’re one of them, braces can help you get the smile you’ve always wanted.
The Benefits of Braces
Affordable Treatment
Braces tend to be the cheapest way to straighten your teeth and improve your bite. They also are covered by some dental insurance plans, especially for children under the age of 18.
Extremely Versatile
Braces are more versatile than alternatives. With the right treatment plan, an experienced orthodontist can correct almost any issue with your teeth and bite. Plus, you can choose the color of your bands to compliment your style.
Prevents Further Oral Health Problems
Misaligned or crooked teeth are harder to clean, which can raise the risk of gum disease or tooth decay. They also may wear down more quickly, and could be more prone to chipping, cracking, or breaking. With braces, you can treat and prevent these problems.

The Braces Treatment Process
Orthodontic Consultation & Braces Placement
To begin your treatment, you’ll come to our office for an orthodontic consultation, and your doctor will discuss all of your options for treatment. If they decide on braces, you’ll come back in a few weeks to have your braces placed. This is a completely non-invasive procedure that takes about 1 hour.
Adjustments & Checkups
Once your braces are attached to your teeth, you’ll need to come back into our office for an adjustment. These are usually done every 4-6 weeks, and take about half an hour. During this appointment, your orthodontist will check on your progress, then tighten your braces to make sure your teeth keep moving toward the proper position.
Braces Removal & Retainers
Average treatment time for moderate to severe cases can range from 18-24 months. Once your treatment is over, your orthodontist will remove your braces. Then, they will build a set of retainers for your teeth. Retainers help your teeth maintain the proper position after your braces are removed.
Keep Smiling For Longer
We know that life happens. That's why we provide either 2 traditional or 4 Invisalign Vivera Retainers at the end of your treatment, so you can rest easy knowing that you have a backup retainer when you need it.
