What Are Braces and How Do They Work?

Braces are a popular orthodontic solution designed to correct misaligned teeth, gaps, and bite problems. By applying constant pressure over time, braces move your teeth into their proper positions, resulting in a more aligned, healthier smile. At Westchester Dentistry, expert orthodontic care is provided to help you achieve the smile you’ve always dreamed of. Our braces treatment is designed to address your unique dental needs, ensuring effective results and better oral health.

Types of Braces Available

Choosing Porcelain Veneers at Westchester Dentistry comes with numerous benefits:

  • Traditional Metal Braces: The most widely used type of braces, traditional metal braces are known for their effectiveness in treating a variety of orthodontic issues. Modern metal braces are more comfortable and less noticeable than ever before.
  • Ceramic Braces: These braces are similar in function to metal braces but are made from tooth-colored materials that blend with your natural teeth, offering a more discreet treatment option.
  • Lingual Braces: Positioned on the back side of your teeth, lingual braces are hidden from view, providing a nearly invisible way to straighten your teeth without compromising your appearance.
  • Invisalign: For a more flexible and invisible solution, Invisalign uses clear aligners to gradually shift your teeth. This system is removable, making it easier to maintain your oral hygiene and enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Braces

How long will I need to wear braces?
The length of treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case, but most patients wear braces for 18 to 24 months. Dr. Gonzalez will provide a more accurate estimate based on your specific needs.
Some discomfort is normal, especially after the initial placement of braces or adjustments. This discomfort is temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and by eating softer foods.
You will need to visit our office every 4 to 6 weeks for adjustments and to monitor your progress. These regular appointments are crucial for ensuring your treatment stays on track.
While you can still enjoy many foods, it’s important to avoid hard, sticky, or chewy items that can damage your braces. We will provide guidelines on which foods to avoid to help protect your braces and ensure effective treatment.
