Standard braces can address virtually any orthodontic issue, from simple cosmetic straightening to more complex corrections. They’re particularly effective for rotating teeth, closing gaps, aligning severely crooked teeth, and correcting problems with your bite. If you are seeking faster results for primarily cosmetic concerns, we also offer short-term traditional braces. This treatment focuses on your visible front teeth and can be completed in just a few months.
Here’s how your treatment with braces will progress:
Throughout your treatment, our team provides guidance on proper cleaning techniques, foods to avoid, and how to handle any minor issues that may arise. We’re always available to answer questions and address concerns as you progress toward your new smile.

Most patients require adjustments every four to six weeks throughout treatment. During these brief appointments, we change the archwires, replace elastic bands, and monitor your progress. Regular adjustments ensure your teeth move at the optimal pace and direction. Missing adjustments can extend your overall treatment time.
Avoid hard foods like nuts, ice, and hard candies that can break brackets. Stay away from sticky foods like caramel and taffy that can pull off brackets. Cut crunchy foods like apples and carrots into small pieces. Minimize sugary foods and drinks that increase decay risk around brackets.
Brush after every meal using a soft-bristled toothbrush at a 45-degree angle around brackets. Use interdental brushes or floss threaders to clean between teeth and under wires. A water flosser provides additional cleaning. Consider fluoride rinses to help prevent white spots and decay around brackets.
