At Dressler Orthodontics, we offer metal braces, Fastbraces®, and ceramic braces. Metal braces are the most common type. They are made of high-grade stainless steel. Today’s metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more attractive. With metal braces, a series of metal brackets and wires are attached to each tooth in a patient’s mouth. The strength of that wire is what gently pulls the teeth into the desired position over time.
While it’s true that people of all ages can benefit from orthodontic treatment, kids who see an orthodontist while they’re still young can enjoy a number of different benefits – essentially all at the same time.
If you’re having a hard time choosing which type of braces you’d like right now, don’t worry. Dr. Dressler will go over all of the options with you in great detail.
It’s never too late to get braces because the types of issues that braces are designed to correct can easily manifest themselves at any age.
Braces, wires, bands, and retainers can all trap food particles and make it difficult to brush or floss away plaque.
Teeth, and sometimes entire facial structures, are permanently changed by orthodontic treatment. It is important that the treatment be appropriate and properly completed.
