Correcting Alignment and Other Disorders
Your smile’s proper alignment is integral for your overall oral health. Not only can misalignment cause cosmetic discrepancies by making your smile appear off or uncentered, but left untreated, it can lead to subsequent health issues such as speech complications, bruxism, or TMJ Disorder. To address these and other issues that may arise from crooked teeth, your orthodontist might recommend traditional braces.
Durable and Effective
Traditional braces consist of brackets that are semi-permanently bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth, and arch wire that provides an appropriate amount of tension to guide your tooth movement. The brackets and wires gradually force crooked teeth into straighter positions, which can often take between 18-24 months to complete. Young children who exhibit signs of malocclusion may benefit from early orthodontics, which can make treatment with traditional braces more successful in later years.
Known for their ability to address a wide range of orthodontic concerns, traditional braces are especially beneficial for their durability and effectiveness in treating misalignment, TMJ, and more.
