When choosing the right type of braces, consider the severity of your condition and your treatment goals.
You and your orthodontist can decide on the best treatment plan together.
Metal braces are strong, extremely effective and the traditional choice for straightening teeth.
We also offer clear aligner therapy including SureSmile and Invisalign.
Made from the same materials as traditional braces but do not require the use of elastics, meaning fewer appointments and less friction being placed on the tooth.

Although wearing braces is an adjustment, it doesn't have to completely change your lifestyle.
Knowing how to properly maintain and care for your braces is the key to successful long-term orthodontic treatment.
Just because you have braces doesn't mean you must stop doing the things you love - like playing sports.
Playing sports is a great way to promote overall health, and wearing braces shouldn't hinder activity.
Taking precautions to ensure that your teeth, mouth, and braces are protected when playing sports is important, so always wear a mouthguard when you are physically active.

Brushing with braces is very much like brushing your teeth without braces, but with a little more care.
Like normal, it is recommended that you brush twice per day and after each meal.
Use a soft bristle brush or an electric toothbrush with fluoride toothpaste to gently brush and remove food particles between brackets and under the wires for two full minutes.

It is recommended that children see an orthodontist when their permanent teeth come in but it's never too early to start focusing on a plan for teeth and jaw correction.
Correct and guide the growth of your child's jaw to help the permanent teeth come in straight.
The amount of treatment needed to correct a problem will determine how long the process takes.
