One of the orthodontic options Dr. Kurt Bray or Dr. Robert Olsen may recommend is traditional metal braces. Braces are a transformative orthodontic solution designed to correct various dental issues and enhance the aesthetics of your smile. This treatment method uses a combination of metal brackets, wires and bands to gently guide teeth into their optimal positions over time. Braces are highly effective for addressing a range of orthodontic problems and are effective for nearly everyone seeking orthodontic treatment.
Braces can effectively treat orthodontic issues such as:
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Misalignment of teeth
- Various bite problems, including crossbite, open bite, underbite and overbite
Key components of braces include:
- Metal Brackets: Attached to the front of each tooth.
- Wires: Connect the brackets and help guide the teeth’s movement.
- Bands: Secure the brackets to the wires, providing additional support.
For those who prefer a less noticeable option, ceramic or clear braces are available. These are crafted to match the color of your teeth, offering a discreet alternative to traditional metal braces.
