When families approach to us for help straightening their teeth, we are very proud to offer full orthodontic therapy that meets the specific needs and aspirations of each patient. We’ve helped change a lot of smiles over the years we’ve been in business in North Miami. We know that getting braces is a big decision that affects more than just how your teeth look; it also affects your general health and confidence. We are happy to help our patients every step of the way on their road to a straighter, healthier smile.
Braces for teeth operate by putting gentle, steady pressure on them over time to move them into the right places. To make sure that each tooth travels in the appropriate direction and at the right speed, this procedure requires meticulous planning and monitoring. We employ cutting-edge imaging and diagnostic equipment to make detailed treatment plans that indicate exactly how teeth will move during therapy and what the ultimate results will look like. This planning phase is very important because it helps us see any problems that might come up and make sure that treatment goes smoothly and quickly.
Traditional metal braces are still one of the best and most reliable ways to fix a lot of different orthodontic problems. These tried-and-true devices have brackets that are glued to each tooth and wires that connect them. The wires are adjusted every so often to keep the teeth in line. Some individuals are worried about how metal braces look at first, but most of our patients quickly get used to them and even take pride in their orthodontic experience. Braces made of metal today are likewise more smaller and more comfortable than those used in the past.
Braces for Kids and Invisalign are two different ways to get straighter teeth, and we carefully think about which one will work best for each patient. Traditional braces are great for younger kids who might forget to wear detachable appliances all the time because they work all the time without the patient having to do anything. They also work very well for complicated instances that need very fine control over how the teeth move.
We also provide ceramic braces for people who don’t like how metal braces look. These braces use brackets that look like teeth to blend in better with the teeth. These work just as well as metal braces, but they are far less apparent. People commonly choose between metal and ceramic braces based on their own tastes and money, since both work very well.
Getting braces for teeth starts with a full consultation. We look at the teeth, take X-rays, and talk with the patient and their family about what they want to achieve with treatment. We think it’s important to take the time to explain everything properly and answer all questions so that everyone feels good about going ahead with treatment. We also talk about treatment timelines, expenses, and what to expect during the orthodontic process during this first meeting.
One thing we stress a lot about braces treatment is how important it is to keep your mouth clean throughout the process. Braces give food particles and plaque more places to stick to, so patients need to be especially careful about brushing and flossing. We give our patients specific instructions and special cleaning products to help them keep their teeth and gums healthy while they are getting treatment. Regular dental cleanings are even more necessary while you’re getting braces.
We have seen how orthodontic treatment may change our patients’ lives at our North Miami office. Braces can do more than simply straighten teeth. They can also boost your self-esteem, improve your dental health, and even make it easier to speak and chew. At Specialty Smiles, we want to make this life-changing experience as easy and pleasant as possible for every patient who comes to us for orthodontic care.
