What are the benefits of braces?

Braces can address orthodontic problems while straightening teeth and boosting your confidence. While dental braces can treat aesthetic issues, like crooked teeth, they can also eliminate more severe problems, such as preventing jawbone erosion, to improve your quality of life. Other benefits of braces treatment include:

Improving oral health by addressing crowding that can make brushing your teeth difficult.

Correcting underbites and overbites that cause many to feel self-conscious.

Helping digestion by straightening teeth and making chewing food into small bites easier.

Clear aligners vs. braces

Both braces and clear aligners can correct misaligned teeth and bite issues. Clear aligners are an excellent option for mild to moderate orthodontic issues, while dental braces can handle a broader range of dental problems, including more severe cases. There are a few other differences between the two orthodontic treatments:

Visibility: Braces consist of metal brackets and wires attached to the front of the teeth, making them noticeable. Clear aligners use nearly invisible BPA-free plastic aligners that fit over the teeth, making them much less noticeable.
Removability: Braces are fixed appliances; only removed by an orthodontist once the treatment is complete. clear aligners are removable, allowing patients to take them out while eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
Maintenance: With braces, it takes extra care to clean around the brackets and wires. While clear aligners require regular cleaning, they are easier to maintain as you can remove them during meals and oral hygiene routines.

The choice between clear aligners and braces depends on your preference, needs, and the recommendation of your family orthodontist. Book a free consultation in the Greater Houston area to see which option may be right for you.

Braces FAQ

Braces are orthodontic appliances designed to straighten and align teeth, correct bite issues, and improve overall dental health and aesthetics. They work through the application of gentle and controlled pressure to move the teeth into their desired positions over time.
By following your prescribed treatment plan and maintaining good oral hygiene practices, braces can effectively straighten teeth and improve dental health and aesthetics in the long term. Working closely with your orthodontist throughout your braces treatment is essential to ensure the best possible outcome.
The time it takes to straighten teeth with braces or clear aligners can vary significantly from person to person. The duration of orthodontic treatment with braces depends on several factors, including the severity of the dental misalignment, the patient’s age, the type of braces used, and how well the patient follows the orthodontist’s instructions.
Patients will wear metal braces on average for approximately 1 to 3 years. However, some people may need braces for a shorter period if they only require minor adjustments, while others with more complex dental issues may need braces longer. Clear aligner treatment may take longer or shorter than traditional braces, depending on the severity of your bite issue.
It’s essential to consult with the experts at Garrett & Boyd Orthodontics to get a personalized estimate of how long your specific case will require braces. Our family orthodontists can assess your teeth, create a treatment plan, and give you a more accurate timeframe for achieving the desired results.
The cost of braces will vary depending on the severity of your orthodontic issues and the type of braces you choose. The best way to learn more about your treatment cost is to book your free consultation with the family orthodontists at Garrett & Boyd Orthodontics.
Modern orthodontic technology and advancements have made braces more comfortable than ever before. Anticipate some temporary mild discomfort when getting braces, but rest assured that it will gradually improve as your teeth adjust to the braces. However, if you do experience severe or persistent pain, it’s essential to contact our office for advice and evaluation.
