Wondering if you need braces?
If you’re a teenager with crooked teeth, you may wonder if braces are right for you. There’s no need to worry – braces can help teens get your teeth aligned and acquire the cute, attractive smile you’ve always desired.
Braces work by gradually moving the teeth in their correct position over time. They are most effective when worn for the recommended time set by your orthodontist. You will need to take extra care of your teeth and gums during your treatment to avoid complications.
There are many benefits to having braces: better chewing ability, improved speech and self-confidence, straighter and healthier teeth. And don’t worry – we’ll make sure it doesn’t interfere with your daily life. We understand that this is a big decision and it’s important to have all the information before making the investment.
What issues can braces treat?
Braces are not just for cosmetic purposes anymore. In fact, they can be used to treat a number of different dental issues. This is great news for those who may have been self-conscious about their smile in the past. Some of the issues that braces can treat include:
- Teeth Crowding
- Spacing between teeth
- Protruding teeth
- Narrow dental arches
- Crossbite
- Overbites or Underbites
- Deep bite or open bite
- Gummy smile
Have a stress-free orthodontic treatment journey with us
We believe that braces should be a painless and stress-free experience. Let us show you how! Start by scheduling a consultation with an orthodontist. Our orthodontist will examine your teeth and bite during your consultation and develop a treatment plan tailored specifically for you. If you decide to move forward with treatment, the next step is to have your braces placed. This usually takes place in two separate appointments. First, the brackets and wires will be placed on your teeth. Then, the orthodontist will adjust the wires and tighten them over time to gradually straighten your teeth.
Most people wear braces for 12-24 months, but treatment times can vary depending on the severity of your dental problem. Our orthodontist will examine your teeth and bite during your consultation and develop a treatment plan tailored specifically for you. If you decide to move forward with treatment, the next step is to have your braces, don’t wait – make an appointment with our orthodontists today and start on the path to a straighter smile.
Colored or Clear Braces
Which is the best?
It can be difficult to decide between colored and clear braces if you’re considering orthodontic treatment. Both have pros and cons, so it’s important to consult an orthodontist to see which type is best for you.
Orthodontic Experts offer both Traditional and Gold Braces to meet the needs of their patients. Some people prefer the traditional stainless steel colored braces, while others go for the discreet look of Gold Braces. Gold Braces are less visible than traditional stainless steel colored braces, making them a good choice for look-conscious teens. However, clear braces are more expensive than colored braces, and they’re not as durable, so they may need to be replaced more often.
Avoid food like these!
Certain foods should be avoided if you have braces because they can weaken or break the brackets. Among the worst offenders are hard candy, gum, nuts, and popcorn kernels. Biting into hard candy can snap brackets right off your teeth. Chewing gum can get stuck in your braces and be very difficult to remove. And while nuts and popcorn kernels may not seem like a big deal, they can get caught in the wires and cause severe damage.
So what can you eat with braces? Soft fruits like bananas and grapes are great choices. So are cooked vegetables, soft cheese, yogurt, ice cream, pudding, and cake. Anything that’s soft enough to eat without putting too much pressure on your braces is a good option. Just avoid foods that are hard, chewy, or sticky.
