Reliable Alignment for Every Smile

At Emmy Dental, we understand that achieving a straight, confident smile can be life-changing. Traditional braces remain one of the most effective orthodontic solutions for correcting a wide range of dental alignment issues, from crowding and gaps to complex bite irregularities. With modern materials and techniques, today’s braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than ever before.

What Are Traditional Braces?

Traditional braces use a combination of metal brackets and wires to gradually move your teeth into ideal alignment. Each bracket is bonded to the surface of a tooth and connected by an archwire that applies gentle, controlled pressure over time.

Unlike removable aligners, traditional braces work continuously—making them an excellent choice for patients who need more precise or comprehensive correction. Adjustments made during routine visits allow your orthodontist to fine-tune tooth movement for the best results.

Modern braces are sleeker and more comfortable than in the past, allowing patients of all ages to achieve straighter smiles with less irritation and faster progress.

How the Treatment Works

Your journey with traditional braces begins with a detailed consultation and customized treatment plan.

Initial Placement

During your first visit, small metal brackets are placed on each tooth and connected with a thin archwire. Elastic bands may be used to enhance movement and improve bite alignment.

Regular Adjustments

Every few weeks, you’ll visit our office for adjustments. These appointments are essential to keep your treatment on track and ensure steady, gentle progress.

2

Treatment Duration

Depending on your case, treatment can last anywhere from 12 to 24 months. Our orthodontic team monitors every phase to ensure optimal results and a comfortable experience.

Once your treatment is complete, you’ll receive retainers to maintain your newly aligned smile and prevent teeth from shifting back into their previous positions.

Benefits of Traditional Braces

Traditional braces have remained a trusted orthodontic treatment for decades, and for good reason. Some of their key benefits include:

Effective for Complex Cases: Braces can correct severe crowding, bite misalignments, and jaw discrepancies that clear aligners may not address.
Consistent Results: Because braces stay in place 24/7, they work continuously to move teeth into their proper positions.
Durability and Reliability: The metal components are strong and built to withstand daily chewing and brushing.
Affordable and Predictable: Traditional braces are often more cost-effective and offer highly predictable outcomes.

Whether for teens or adults, braces deliver dependable results that stand the test of time.
