What metal braces do

Metal braces are the proven, reliable way to correct crowding, spacing, and bite issues. Small brackets and a gentle wire guide your teeth into place over time, and today’s braces are smaller and more comfortable than the ones you might remember.

Your doctor places and monitors every case personally, so the plan stays on track and you always know what comes next. Braces work beautifully through the growing years, and we time treatment around each smile.

Common questions

How long does treatment take?
It varies from smile to smile, since every case is a little different. At your consultation we will give you a clear, honest estimate based on what we see, so you know what to expect before anything begins.
Do braces hurt?
Most people feel some tenderness for a few days after braces go on or after an adjustment, and that usually settles quickly. We will share simple tips to keep you comfortable, and you can always reach out if something does not feel right.
How often are visits?
Most patients come in every several weeks so we can check progress and make small adjustments. We will set a rhythm that fits your calendar, and we will set an appointment rhythm that fits your school year to make things easier.
