Standard metal braces excel at fixing a wide range of dental alignment issues, from simple spacing problems to complex bite corrections. They’re particularly effective for crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, and teeth that stick out too far.
These trusted appliances can also correct overbites, where upper teeth extend too far over lower teeth, and underbites, where lower teeth sit in front of upper teeth.
Beyond just straightening teeth, braces can improve how your upper and lower teeth fit together when you bite.
This proper alignment helps prevent uneven wear on your teeth, reduces stress on your jaw joints, and makes it easier to keep your teeth clean and healthy through proper brushing and flossing.
Braces have come a long way since their introduction in the early 1900s. The clunky, wrap-around metal bands of the past have evolved into sleek brackets that are engineered for both comfort and effectiveness.
Modern wires are more flexible and respond better to temperature changes in your mouth, for gentler tooth movement.
These improvements build on decades of successful orthodontic treatment. Recent advances in bracket design and wire technology have shortened treatment times. Still, the core principle remains unchanged – using steady pressure to create lasting smile transformations.

Treatment time varies for each patient, but most people wear braces between 18 months and three years. The exact duration depends on several factors, including the complexity of your orthodontic issues, your age, and how well you follow care instructions. Regular appointments will help ensure your treatment stays on schedule and progresses efficiently.
Most patients visit every four to six weeks for adjustments and progress checks. During these appointments, Dr. Kammo will change the wires, replace elastic bands, and make any necessary adjustments to keep your teeth moving in the right direction. These regular visits are essential for successful treatment.
Maintaining good oral hygiene with braces requires extra attention and time. Brush after every meal using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Use special floss threaders or orthodontic floss to clean between teeth and under wires. Water flossers can also help remove food particles around brackets.
