What Are Braces?

Braces are orthodontic devices designed to correct misaligned teeth and bite issues. The system includes brackets attached to the teeth and wires that apply gentle pressure to gradually shift teeth into their correct positions. Braces can address a range of dental concerns, including:

  • Overbites and underbites
  • Crossbites
  • Crowded teeth
  • Gaps between teeth

Why Braces?

Braces aren’t just for cosmetic improvements. They can significantly enhance oral health by:

  • Making teeth easier to clean, which reduces the risk of cavities and gum disease
  • Correcting misaligned bites, improving chewing, and reducing jaw pain
  • Preventing future dental issues, such as abnormal tooth wear or damage

Types of Braces

At Smile Envy Dental & Orthodontics, we offer various options for braces, allowing you to choose the best fit for your needs and lifestyle. These include:

Traditional Metal Braces

Traditional Metal Braces

Durable and effective for correcting complex alignment issues.

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic Braces

Less visible than metal braces due to their tooth-colored appearance.

Lingual-Brace

Lingual Braces

Placed on the inside of the teeth, making them invisible from the outside.

Self-Ligating Braces

Self-Ligating Braces

Use a sliding mechanism instead of elastic bands, reducing friction and potentially shortening treatment time.

Early Orthodontic Evaluation

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic assessment by age 7.

Early evaluation can identify potential bite and alignment issues, allowing for timely intervention to prevent more serious problems later. Early treatment can also shorten the duration of braces in the future.1
