Getting braces is a big deal so you can have a healthy smile and feel good about yourself. Specialty Smiles offers orthodontic care for all ages to help you look and feel better. If you’re thinking about getting braces for your teeth in Miami Lakes we want to tell you what options you have and how we can help you achieve your goals.
Braces apply moderate, steady pressure to your teeth over time which moves them into place. This makes your smile look better and work better. When your teeth are in the right place it’s easier to clean them which can reduce your risk of cavities and gum disease. A well aligned bite puts less stress on your jaw which can help you avoid headaches and jaw pain. People ask us what kind of braces we have. One of the best and most popular is still the metal ones. We install metal brackets to each tooth and connect them with a wire. We change the wire over time to move your teeth into place. Metal braces are strong, reliable and work for most orthodontic cases.
For those who don’t want their braces to be so obvious we also have clear or ceramic braces. These brackets are made of a tooth colored material that looks like your natural teeth but works like metal braces. That’s why a lot of kids and adults who want a treatment that’s not so obvious choose them.
Many patients also ask about Invisalign. Invisalign uses a series of clear plastic aligners that fit over your teeth. These aligners fit in your mouth and when you wear them they are almost invisible. One of the best things about Invisalign is you can take the aligners out to eat or brush your teeth. This makes it easy to keep your tongue clean while you’re getting healthy. But you have to wear the aligners for at least 20 to 22 hours a day for them to work.
We also have InBrace which is a type of braces that goes on the back of your teeth instead of the front. This makes them completely invisible which is great for those who want to straighten their teeth without anyone knowing. InBrace works all the time so you don’t have to remember to wear anything like you do with Invisalign.
Specialty Smiles has braces for kids, teens and adults. We make sure our treatment options work for everyone. Our main goal is to help kids’ teeth and jaws grow in the right way so they don’t have worse problems later on. We have many options for kids that fit their lifestyle and make them feel good about getting treatment. We know adults have different concerns about how they look and how easy it is to get treatment so we offer solutions that are private and flexible. Some people just need a shorter treatment, six month braces. This is for those who want to solve minor alignment problems quickly. Not everyone will like this but it could be a good option for some.
You will need to wear retainers after your braces come off to keep your teeth in their new position. Retainers are part of the treatment process because if you don’t take care of them your teeth can move back over time. We make retainers just for you and teach you how to use and take care of them.
We know getting braces is a big deal and we’re here to help you every step of the way. At Specialty Smiles we hear what you have to say, answer your questions and talk about all your options. We want you to feel comfortable and know what’s going on all the time.
