Braces

We offer both traditional metal braces and discreet ceramic options to help you achieve a healthier, more confident smile.

What Braces Are All About

Braces are one of the most reliable orthodontic treatments for straightening teeth and correcting bite problems. They work by applying gentle, controlled pressure to gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions. Braces consist of brackets attached to each tooth and connected by an archwire that guides the movement over time.

Braces improve both function and aesthetics — helping you bite, chew, and smile with greater confidence. They are highly effective for treating crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and other alignment issues.

What to Expect During Treatment

Getting braces at Smilesdotcom Dental Clinic is a smooth, carefully guided experience designed to give you a healthier, more confident smile. From your first consultation to your final results, we prioritize your comfort, safety, and progress every step of the way.

Here’s what your braces journey typically looks like:

Step 1: Comprehensive Consultation and Evaluation

Your journey begins with a detailed orthodontic consultation. During this visit, we assess your teeth, bite, jaw alignment, and overall oral health. Using digital imaging and advanced diagnostic tools, we identify crowding, spacing, bite issues, and discuss your smile goals. This allows us to create a precise treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.

Step 2: Treatment Planning and Preparation

After your evaluation, we design a personalized orthodontic plan tailored to your teeth, bite, and lifestyle. We walk you through your treatment options — such as metal braces, ceramic braces, or other appliances — and explain what to expect at each stage. This step ensures you feel informed, prepared, and confident before treatment begins.

Step 3: Braces Placement

Once your plan is finalized, we begin treatment by placing your braces. The brackets are gently bonded to your teeth and connected with an archwire that guides movement over time. This appointment is comfortable and straightforward, and you’ll receive instructions on caring for your braces and managing the first few days of adjustment.

Step 4: Regular Adjustments and Monitoring

Throughout your orthodontic journey, you’ll return for scheduled visits so we can make adjustments, track progress, and ensure your teeth are moving exactly as planned. These appointments are quick and essential for achieving a healthy, beautifully aligned smile.

Step 5: Completing Your Treatment

When your teeth reach their ideal positions, we remove your braces — revealing your transformed smile. This step is comfortable and exciting, and we take the time to show you how far your smile has come.

Step 6: Retainers and Long-Term Smile Care

To maintain your new alignment, we provide custom retainers and guide you through how to wear and care for them. Retainers are essential to keeping your teeth in their perfect position, so we schedule follow-ups to support your long-term results.

Maintaining Your Braces

Your braces treatment at Smilesdotcom Dental Clinic is designed to deliver long-lasting, beautifully aligned results — but success also depends on great daily care. Braces work best when your teeth, gums, and appliances stay clean and protected. With the right habits, you’ll keep treatment on schedule and ensure the healthiest outcome possible.

Brush and Floss Daily

Keeping your teeth and braces clean is essential for a smooth treatment. Brush after every meal and floss daily using special orthodontic floss or floss threaders. A soft-bristled toothbrush and careful cleaning around brackets help prevent plaque buildup and staining.

Schedule Regular Check-Ups

Attend all scheduled adjustment appointments so we can tighten wires, monitor movement, and make sure your teeth are shifting correctly. These visits are essential for achieving the best possible results and finishing treatment on time.

Maintain Healthy Gums

Healthy gums support healthy tooth movement. Brush gently along the gumline and use an antimicrobial mouthwash daily to reduce inflammation. Good gum health keeps treatment comfortable and helps your smile transform faster.

Avoid Hard or Sticky Food

Hard and sticky foods can break brackets, bend wires, or slow down your progress. Avoid things like chewing ice, popcorn kernels, nuts, gum, and sticky candies. Protecting your braces helps keep treatment on track and prevents emergency visits.
