Braces.
A plan for your smile.

Braces are one way to move teeth and address alignment or bite concerns. An orthodontic evaluation can help compare treatment choices.

How braces move teeth

Brackets and wires apply controlled force to move teeth over time. The treating clinician assesses crowding, spacing, bite, growth, and oral health before recommending orthodontic care.

Cleaning

Brackets and wires create extra surfaces; ask for brushing and flossing guidance.

Food and comfort

The provider can explain food precautions and what to do if an appliance causes irritation.

Other dental care

Continue routine dental checkups during orthodontic treatment.

Braces or clear aligners?

Both are offered at every office. Your provider can compare how each approach would address your teeth and bite.

What to expect with braces

Timing and visits depend on the individual treatment plan.

Plan for the everyday details

Good home care and regular visits support treatment. Braces are not the only option. The provider can discuss whether clear aligners, braces, or a referral better fits your needs.

  • Teeth and bite
    The plan reflects the movement needed.
  • Follow-up care
    Treatment includes regular monitoring.
  • Retention
    Ask how to maintain the result afterward.

Braces questions

Answers to help you prepare for your visit.

What can braces treat?

Braces can help move teeth and address bite alignment. Your provider will assess your teeth and jaw relationship before recommending an orthodontic plan.

Can adults have braces?

Orthodontic treatment can be considered for adults as well as children. Your provider will assess oral health and discuss options suited to your situation.

How are braces different from clear aligners?

Braces are attached to the teeth; clear aligners are removable. The right option depends on the movement needed and your ability to follow the treatment instructions.

How long will I wear braces?

The timeline depends on the orthodontic plan and progress. Ask your provider about the estimated length of treatment and the schedule for adjustments.

What should I do if a wire or bracket causes a problem?

Call the office and describe the issue. The team can advise you about the next step and arrange an appointment when needed.

Will I need a retainer afterward?

Retainers generally help maintain tooth positions after braces. Ask about the recommended type, wear instructions, follow-up care, and replacement costs.

What is included in the orthodontic estimate?

Ask whether records, braces, adjustments, retainers, and follow-up care are included. Insurance coverage and financing terms depend on your plan and provider.

How do I book a braces assessment?

Choose an office below and tell the team that you would like to discuss braces. The appropriate appointment and provider will be arranged according to the schedule.
