Services
Traditional braces offer excellent tooth control during orthodontic treatment.
The bonded brackets serve as a handle on individual teeth.
Thin metal wires called arch wires provide the force required for tooth movement.
The arch wires are tied into the horizontal slot in the brackets with small elastic ties.
As teeth are moving to their ideal position, arch wires are changed at adjustment appointments.
Cosmetic brackets are similar in function to traditional braces, but they have the added benefit of being less noticeable than metal braces.
