At Star Dental,traditional metal braces are used to gradually straighten teeth and improve bite alignment over time.
Orthodontic concerns such as crowding, spacing, and bite issues can affect how teeth function and how easy they are to clean. Braces provide a structured approach to guiding teeth into more stable positions.
Braces are orthodontic appliances that apply gentle, consistent pressure to move teeth over time.
They typically include brackets attached to the teeth and wires that are adjusted periodically to guide movement. Treatment recommendations are based on your oral health, alignment concerns, and treatment goals.
Braces may be recommended if you are experiencing:
An orthodontic assessment allows us to determine whether braces are appropriate and when treatment should begin.
Your treatment begins with a consultation and examination.
We may take digital scans, impressions, or X-rays to assess tooth positioning and bite alignment. Once braces are placed, regular adjustment appointments are scheduled to guide tooth movement over time.
Our team monitors your progress and makes adjustments as needed to keep treatment on track. You will also receive guidance on caring for your braces, including brushing, flossing, and managing day-to-day comfort.
Oral hygiene requires additional attention during orthodontic treatment.
We will show you how to clean around brackets and wires effectively and provide guidance to help maintain your gum health throughout treatment.
Regular dental visits are also recommended during this time to monitor your overall oral health.
After braces are removed, retainers may be recommended to help maintain tooth position and reduce the likelihood of shifting.
Our team will provide instructions on how to wear and care for your retainer as part of your ongoing care.
We aim to keep orthodontic treatment organized and easy to follow.
Appointments are scheduled consistently, and we take the time to explain each step so you understand how your treatment is progressing. Our focus is on providing steady, well-managed care throughout the process.
