What Are Traditional Braces?
Traditional braces are a proven form of orthodontic treatment that straighten malocclusion, overcrowding, and spacing issues using metal brackets and wires. These dental braces gently shift teeth into a healthier position over time. Our dental practitioners at Prime Dental Care USA bond each bracket to the tooth, connected by a wire that we'll adjust during regular visits. Metal braces remain the most widely used type, but ceramic braces offer a more discreet look with similar results. Today, people of all ages use braces for teeth to improve function and appearance. They're also more comfortable and effective than ever, thanks to modern materials and design. Schedule a consultation at our Spring, TX location to learn which option fits your smile best.
What Should I Expect from Traditional Braces?
Getting traditional braces begins with a full dental exam and x-rays to create your custom plan. Once brackets and wires are in place, you'll return about every 4 – 6 weeks for small adjustments. These visits help guide your teeth to the right position over time. Treatment usually lasts between 18 – 24 months, depending on how complex your case is. You might feel some pressure or soreness after each adjustment, but that often fades quickly. Our team will go over care instructions for wearing metal braces, such as avoiding sticky and hard foods like caramel, gum, popcorn, and ice. We'll also recommend you cut fruits and vegetables into small bites and chew gently. Brushing and flossing take more time with braces. A soft-bristled toothbrush, water flosser, and threaders can help keep teeth and gums clean.
What Are the Benefits of Traditional Braces?
Straight teeth do more than make you look good. They support a healthy bite, provide clear speech, and offer easier cleaning. Braces for teeth improve long-term oral health and comfort by correcting bite issues and aligning your jaw. The advantages of traditional braces include:
- Proven results for moderate to severe malocclusion
- Affordable and widely available
- Strong and durable for complex cases
- Can treat crowding, spacing, overbites, and underbites
- Visible progress with each appointment
- Designed for teens and adults alike
- Helps avoid future dental problems with proper alignment
