Traditional braces are highly effective in correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues, including misaligned teeth, overbite, underbite, and crossbite. They can also improve the overall aesthetics of the smile and boost self-esteem and confidence. Traditional braces are a tried and true method of orthodontic treatment, with a long history of successful results.

Traditional braces can be used to treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, including the following types of malocclusion: Crowding: This is a condition where there is not enough space for all the teeth to fit comfortably in the jaw. Crowding can be caused by a variety of factors, such as genetics, small jaws, or large teeth. Overbite: Also known as "buck teeth," this is a condition where the upper front teeth protrude over the lower front teeth. Underbite: Also known as "bulldog teeth," this is a condition where the lower front teeth protrude out in front of the upper front teeth. Crossbite: This is a condition where the upper and lower teeth do not align properly when biting down. Open bite: This is a condition where the upper and lower front teeth do not touch when the back teeth are biting together. Spacing: This is a condition where there are gaps between the teeth caused by missing teeth or teeth that are too small.

The first step in traditional braces treatment is a consultation with one of our experienced orthodontists. During this appointment, we will assess your needs and create a personalized treatment plan. The next step is to have the braces bonded to your teeth. This process typically takes around an hour and is performed under local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. Once the braces are in place, you will need to return for regular adjustment appointments, typically every 4-8 weeks. During these appointments, the orthodontist will adjust the wires and brackets to apply the appropriate amount of pressure to the teeth. The duration of treatment can vary, but most patients can expect to wear traditional braces for 18-24 months.
