Traditional braces effectively correct a wide range of alignment issues, from simple crowding to complex bite problems.
Braces are especially good at fixing crooked teeth, gaps between teeth, overbites where upper teeth stick out too far, and underbites where lower teeth sit in front of upper teeth. They can also help when teeth are stuck up in the gums and need guidance to come down properly.
Metal braces also work well for patients with crossbites, where teeth don’t line up correctly when biting down, and open bites, where front teeth don’t meet when closing your mouth.
Their strength and reliability make them perfect for treating multiple issues at once, even in severe cases that other treatments can’t fix.
At your first orthodontic appointment, we will clean and prepare your teeth before attaching small metal brackets with special dental cement.
A thin wire connects these brackets, creating gentle pressure that moves your teeth into their ideal positions. The entire process takes about two hours.
You’ll visit us every four to six weeks for adjustments. During these quick appointments, your orthodontist will change the wire, check your progress, and replace the elastic bands that hold the wire to your brackets.
You’ll typically complete treatment in 18–24 months, depending on your needs.

Traditional metal braces are what most people think of when orthodontic treatment comes to mind. This method uses metal brackets, bands, and wires to move your teeth into their correct positions. You’ll come in every few weeks to make sure your treatment is on course and to get your braces tightened by your dentist.
Orthodontic treatment is unique, as each patient’s needs vary. As a result, we can’t provide an exact cost for metal braces without first conducting a thorough exam and developing a personalized treatment plan. We invite you to schedule an initial consultation, during which we’ll assess your smile and provide an estimate for your orthodontic treatment.
Keeping your teeth clean while wearing braces is similar to your usual oral hygiene routine. You should use a soft-bristle toothbrush, and try to avoid brushing too aggressively, so you don’t risk damaging your brackets and wires. It’s also wise to replace your toothbrush more often than you normally would. Flossing is different because it requires a special tool to thread the dental floss around your braces.
