What Are Braces?
Thanks to modern technologies and many orthodontic advances, traditional metal braces are more comfortable and affordable than ever. Galloway Dental Associates provides various orthodontic treatments to accommodate the different needs of our Miami, FL patients. Traditional braces provide fun customizations that aren't possible with clear, removable aligners. Many of our patients enjoy choosing metal braces because they can express their personality by selecting different colored elastic bands. To learn more about dental braces, schedule an appointment with our office in Miami, FL.
What Can I Expect When Getting Braces?
After your initial examination, a personalized treatment plan will be created for your specific needs. When you return to Galloway Dental Associates to get your braces, your teeth will be thoroughly prepped and cleaned before placing your metal braces. Once the bonding agent is applied, the metal brackets will be positioned on your teeth. After all the brackets are in place, we will thread a wire through them, which will gradually move teeth over time. You can also choose your preferred rubber band color(s), which will help keep the archwires connected to the brackets. The procedure is quick with minimal to no discomfort. You'll return to our office about once a month for adjustments and to monitor tooth movement. The total duration of your braces program will depend on factors, such as the severity of your crowded teeth, your compliance, and your overall oral health. On average, traditional metal braces take about two years to gradually move teeth into proper alignment.
