- Resin CompositeAlthough today we have different types of braces available, the process for getting braces is generally the same for all. First, a special orthodontic glue made of a composite resin is used to bond the brackets to your teeth. Once the brackets are in place, thin metal wires thread them together. This allows gradual pressure to be applied by tightening the wires with a special key. Adjustments may be made periodically to adjust the tension on the wire to make the experience as effective and comfortable as possible.

- Oral SurgeryMost children lose all their baby teeth by age 13, and by the end of their teen years, the jaw bones will harden and stop growing. Orthodontic procedures for adults often take more time and can involve tooth extraction or oral surgery. Receiving early orthodontic treatment as a child can help prevent the need for orthodontics as an adult, leaving little to no chance of extraction or surgery in the future.
- Jaw SurgeryThe main difference to remember when treating adults or children and teens is that in younger patients the jawbones are still developing. For adults, these bones have stopped growing, which may mean the possibility of orthognathic surgery to align the jawbones. Other differences include...

- BracesWhether your decision to get braces comes from the desire to correct simple aesthetic misalignments or major spacing and bite problems, treatment can provide a number of benefits that go beyond appearances. Part of our commitment to our patients is to always provide a high standard of care that goes above and beyond expectations. In alignment with this, our state-of-the-art orthodontic equipment and treatment plans are some of the latest in the industry. Unlike the traditional metal brackets most tend to think of, our brackets use self-ligation technology that eliminates the need for elastic bands. Using specially designed clips, self-ligating braces can realign your teeth faster, mitigate the pressure placed on your jaw and teeth, and allow you to clean your teeth much more simply. Their brackets and wires are also much thinner and less visible than traditional braces. Self-ligating braces also require fewer and shorter adjustment appointments, saving you time in your busy schedule.
