Braces
Types of Orthodontic Braces
Revolutionize Your Smile
Braces are a highly effective orthodontic treatment designed to correct misaligned teeth, close gaps, and improve overall dental health. They consist of brackets, wires, and sometimes bands that work together to gradually move teeth into their proper positions. Whether you choose traditional metal braces, clear ceramic brackets, or modern options like Invisalign, braces can address a wide range of alignment issues for both adolescents and adults. Our team will guide you through the process, ensuring a comfortable experience and helping you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.
Why Braces with PT Orthodontics?
The duration of orthodontic treatment varies depending on individual needs. On average, most people wear braces for 18 to 24 months, but some cases may require more or less time. Your orthodontist will provide a personalized treatment plan.
Braces may cause some discomfort, especially after adjustments, but the pain is usually mild and temporary. Over-the-counter pain relievers and orthodontic wax can help ease irritation. Most patients adjust to their braces within a few days.
To prevent damage to your braces, avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods such as nuts, popcorn, caramel, and chewing gum. Cutting food into smaller pieces and opting for softer options can help protect your braces.
