Improve Your Smile with Braces

Malocclusion, or crooked teeth and a misaligned bite, is very common occurrence. Some people’s teeth come in crooked, overlapping, or crowded. This may occur when a person’s mouth is too small for their teeth. Individuals may also have gaps between some or all of their teeth. Other times, a person may have upper and lower jaws that aren’t the same size or that did not form correctly. This can cause an overbite or an underbite. If you have malocclusion, Dr. [doctor_name] may recommend braces in [city], [state].

Braces are can be made from different materials. Traditional braces are composed of metal. However, for those who do not want to wear metal brackets and wires, we offer cosmetic braces. These braces have brackets and wires that are made from clear or tooth-colored material. During your consultation, discuss your options with our orthodontist to find the best treatment for you.

Braces use several components to apply continuous pressure over a period of time to move the teeth to their ideal positions. These components include:

Brackets – The brackets are bonded to the front of each tooth or are attached to orthodontic bands. The brackets hold the arch wires in place that move the teeth.

Orthodontic bands – These bands wrap around each tooth to anchor the brackets in place. They are not used for all patients. Some individuals have brackets and no bands.

Arch wires – Arch wires attach to the brackets and guide the teeth to their ideal positions.

Ligatures – Ligatures are that hold the arch wires to the brackets.

Elastics or rubber bands – These are attached to hooks on the brackets and worn between the upper and lower teeth. They move the upper teeth against the lower teeth to achieve proper fit of individual teeth.

To learn more and to schedule a consultation with our orthodontist, call [practice_name] at [phone] today.
