Braces: Your Path to a Confident Smile
At Smile Envy Dental & Orthodontics, we know that a straight smile not only enhances your appearance but also promotes better dental health. Braces can help you achieve this transformation, whether you’re a teenager or an adult. We offer customized orthodontic care to suit your specific needs and help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.
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
Durable and effective for correcting complex alignment issues.
Ceramic Braces
Less visible than metal braces due to their tooth-colored appearance.
Lingual Braces
Placed on the inside of the teeth, making them invisible from the outside.
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
