How do orthodontic braces on teeth​ Work?

Braces use a carefully controlled system of gentle, constant pressure to shift teeth into better alignment over time. Traditional braces utilize an arched wire attached to the brackets on the teeth to guide them towards better alignment and bite. As your smile gradually improves, you will feel more comfortable and confident. Our patient-centered approach ensures the process is done with ease and comfort for the best results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are metal dental braces for adults, and how do they work?

Braces are orthodontic devices used to straighten and align teeth, improving bite and overall dental health. They work by applying constant, gentle pressure to your teeth, gradually shifting them into the correct position over time.

How long will I need to wear metal dental braces?

The length of time you will need to wear braces depends on the severity of your dental issues, but treatment typically lasts between 18 to 24 months. Your orthodontist will monitor your progress and adjust your treatment time accordingly.

Do orthodontic braces on teeth​ hurt?

Comfort dental braces may cause some discomfort, especially right after they are first applied or after adjustments. The discomfort typically lasts for a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.

What types of comfort dental braces for adults​ are available?

There are several types of braces available, including traditional metal braces, clear ceramic braces, and clear aligners like Invisalign. Each type has its benefits depending on your needs and preferences for visibility, comfort, and treatment duration.

What foods should I avoid while wearing metal dental braces?

While wearing braces, it's important to avoid hard, sticky, and chewy foods like popcorn, gum, and caramel, as they can damage the brackets and wires. It's also a good idea to avoid foods that could get stuck in your braces, such as nuts and corn on the cob.
