What Are Dental Braces

Dental braces use brackets and wires to gradually move your teeth into proper alignment. They remain one of the most reliable orthodontic options, especially for more complex alignment issues that may not be suited to clear aligners.

Signs You May Be a Good Candidate

  • You have crowded, crooked, or gapped teeth
  • Your bite feels uneven or misaligned
  • You have a more complex case that may not suit clear aligners
  • You or your child are ready to begin orthodontic treatment
  • Your dentist has recommended braces during a consultation

What Is Included

  • An initial consultation and assessment of your teeth and bite
  • Impressions or scans to plan your treatment
  • Placement of brackets and wires
  • Regular adjustment appointments throughout treatment
  • A retention plan once your braces come off
