Braces

Braces are the tried and true method of orthodontics. There are a variety of braces types to choose from depending on your needs and lifestyle.

Thousands of kids around the United States need braces. Braces are an effective orthodontic treatment for crowded or crooked teeth; they also correct bites or jaw misalignment.

Are you nervous about wearing braces as an adult? You may feel a little self-conscious about having metal or colored brackets on your teeth and how the mechanism affects your smile. However, roughly 20% of orthodontic patients are adults, and they can tell you from experience that the treatment time can lead to a better bite and prevent further dental concerns.

Braces are a common corrective treatment plan for both kids and adults looking for straighter and healthier teeth. However, it’s common for patients to have questions and concerns before and during treatment. Below are some frequently asked questions about braces that we receive at Steele Creek Orthodontics.
