Traditional Braces

Traditional braces have been a cornerstone of orthodontics for decades, offering a tried and true method for correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. At Select Dental Office, we specialize in traditional braces, providing customized treatment plans to meet the unique needs of each patient.

What are Traditional Braces?

‍Traditional braces consist of metal brackets that are adhered to each tooth, connected by a wire which gradually guides the teeth into their correct positions. Regular adjustments are made to the wire to ensure steady progress towards the desired alignment.

Benefits of Traditional Braces

• Effective for Complex Issues: Capable of correcting severe and complex dental misalignments that might be challenging for other types of orthodontic treatments.
• Cost-Effective: Generally less expensive than newer orthodontic treatments like clear aligners.
• Visible Results: Patients can see progress throughout the treatment, which can be motivating.
• Customizable: With options for colored bands, traditional braces can be a fun expression of personality, especially for younger patients.

Ideal Candidates for Traditional Braces

‍Traditional braces are suitable for children, teens, and adults who need correction for:

• Crowded teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
• Other jaw alignment problems

The Process of Getting Traditional Braces

1. Initial Consultation: Comprehensive evaluation of your dental and jaw alignment to determine the best treatment approach.
2. Customized Treatment Plan: Development of a personalized treatment plan that outlines the expected duration of treatment and specific alignment goals.
3. Brace Fitting: Placement of the braces, which involves bonding the brackets to the teeth and connecting them with the wire.
4. Regular Adjustments: Scheduled visits to adjust the braces and progress the treatment. These adjustments are critical to achieving the desired end result.

Post-Treatment Care

‍After the braces are removed, wearing a retainer is essential to maintain the new position of your teeth. We provide custom retainers and detailed instructions on how to care for them.
