Why Choose Traditional Braces?
Proven Effectiveness
Traditional braces have stood the test of time as a trusted method for correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues. Unlike other orthodontic treatments, braces are highly versatile and can address complex cases, such as severe crowding, misaligned bites, and significant gaps between teeth. With their strong track record, traditional braces are often the go-to option for achieving optimal results in both teens and adults.
Precision & Control
One of the key advantages of traditional braces is the precise control they offer in moving teeth. Braces consist of metal brackets attached to each tooth and connected by a wire, which is periodically adjusted to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. This level of control allows for comprehensive treatment plans tailored to your specific needs, ensuring that every tooth is aligned correctly for long-term stability and health.
Durability & Reliability
Made from high-quality stainless steel, traditional braces are known for their durability. They can withstand the day-to-day pressures of eating, speaking, and other activities, making them a reliable choice for orthodontic treatment. Additionally, advancements in orthodontic technology have made modern braces smaller, more comfortable, and less noticeable than ever before.
The Traditional Braces Process
Initial Consultation & Evaluation
Your journey to a straighter smile begins with a thorough evaluation at Eversmiles Dental. During your initial consultation, our experienced orthodontist will conduct a comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, and jaw structure. We use advanced imaging technology to create a detailed map of your mouth, allowing us to design a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique orthodontic needs.
Fitting & Adjustments
Once your treatment plan is finalized, the next step is fitting your braces. The process involves bonding small brackets to each tooth and connecting them with a thin, flexible wire. These brackets are meticulously placed to ensure optimal alignment and comfort. Periodic adjustments are necessary throughout your treatment to keep your teeth moving in the right direction. During these visits, our orthodontist will adjust the wires and, in some cases, replace elastics or bands to maintain progress.
Oral Hygiene & Braces
Maintaining excellent oral hygiene is crucial when you have braces. Food particles and plaque can easily get trapped around the brackets and wires, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Our team at Eversmiles Dental will provide you with detailed instructions on how to clean your teeth and braces effectively. This includes using specialized tools like interdental brushes, floss threaders, and fluoride mouthwash to keep your smile healthy throughout your treatment.
Expected Treatment Duration
The length of time you’ll need to wear braces varies depending on the complexity of your case. On average, most patients wear braces for 18 to 24 months. However, some cases may require shorter or longer treatment times. Our orthodontist will give you a clear estimate during your consultation and will work closely with you to ensure your treatment stays on track.
What To Expect Throughout Treatment
Dietary Adjustments
To protect your braces and ensure the best possible results, certain dietary modifications are necessary. Hard, sticky, or chewy foods can damage the brackets and wires, potentially prolonging your treatment time. Our team will provide you with a list of foods to avoid, as well as tips for making braces-friendly choices that keep your orthodontic journey smooth and stress-free.
Handling Mild Discomfort
It’s common to experience some discomfort, especially after your braces are first applied or adjusted. This discomfort typically subsides within a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and orthodontic wax. At Eversmiles Dental, we’re here to support you through any challenges you may face during your treatment, ensuring you stay comfortable and confident throughout the process.
