Using digital planning and gentle mechanics, we guide your teeth into their optimal positions for a beautiful, long‑lasting result.

What Are Orthodontic Braces?

Braces are fixed appliances composed of brackets bonded to teeth and archwires that apply controlled forces to move teeth gradually. Key elements include:

  • Brackets:
    Made of stainless steel or ceramic, bonded to each tooth surface.
  • Archwires:
    Nickel‑titanium or stainless‑steel wires that connect brackets and guide movement.
    Cantilever/Maryland Bridge: Conserves tooth structure by bonding to one side or with a metal framework.
  • Ligatures/Clips: Elastic bands or self‑ligating clips that secure the wire to brackets.

  • Optional Elastics:
    Inter‑arch rubber bands to correct bite discrepancies.

Treatment harnesses bone remodeling to reposition teeth, improving alignment, function, and facial harmony over 12–24 months.

Our Braces Treatment Process

  2. Appliance Placement
    ✔Bonding: Brackets are bonded with tooth‑colored adhesive; archwire inserted and secured.
    ✔Initial Adjustment: Light forces are applied to begin gradual movement.
  3. Monthly Follow‑Up Visits

    ✔Elastics Placement: Attach inter‑arch rubber bands if needed to correct overbite or crossbite.
  4. Monitoring & Refinements
