Braces Treatment: Straighten Your Way to a Healthier Smile
What Are Braces?
Braces are orthodontic devices used to align crooked teeth, correct bite issues, and improve jaw positioning. They consist of brackets, wires, and elastic bands that work together to gently guide your teeth into their proper positions. While many associate braces with cosmetic improvements, they also play a crucial role in enhancing oral health by preventing overcrowding, making cleaning easier, and reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
How Does the Process Work?
- Consultation and Planning
Your orthodontic journey begins with a detailed consultation. Our specialist examines your teeth, takes digital X-rays or 3D scans, and creates a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. - Fitting the Braces
We bond brackets to your teeth and thread archwires through them. Elastic bands may be added to assist with more complex movements. - Regular Adjustments
Scheduled visits every few weeks allow us to make necessary adjustments that guide your teeth into alignment gradually and safely. - Completion and Retention
Once your smile is perfectly aligned, braces are removed and a retainer is provided to maintain the results and prevent shifting.
Types of Braces We Offer
We offer a full range of advanced orthodontic solutions to suit your comfort, lifestyle, and goals:
Traditional Metal Braces
Strong and effective, these braces are made of stainless steel and remain the most reliable option for treating complex dental misalignments. They’re also more comfortable and compact than ever before.
Ceramic Braces
Tooth-colored brackets offer a more discreet option with the same efficiency as metal braces. Ideal for teens and adults looking for a subtle appearance.
Lingual Braces
Attached to the back (tongue side) of your teeth, lingual braces are invisible from the front. A great option for those who want orthodontic treatment without anyone noticing.
Self-Ligating Braces
These use a sliding mechanism instead of elastics to hold the wire, reducing friction and making the process smoother and more comfortable.
Clear Aligners (e.g., Invisalign)
Removable, nearly invisible trays that gradually straighten your teeth without the need for wires or brackets. Perfect for mild to moderate alignment issues and patients who prefer flexibility.
Damon Braces
A type of self-ligating braces, Damon braces apply gentler forces, offering a faster and more comfortable treatment with fewer visits.
Key Benefits of Braces

Taking Care of Your Braces
- Good oral hygiene is essential with braces. Brush and floss carefully around the brackets, avoid sticky or hard foods, and attend regular dental checkups to monitor progress.
