How Do I Know I Need Braces?
At Laughlin Dental, we recommend traditional braces to correct a variety of misalignment issues. Traditional braces are a tried and true method of giving patients straighter, healthier teeth. You’ll want to consider braces as a solution for the following problems, among others:
- Crooked teeth
- Gaps in the teeth
- Crowded teeth
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Other varieties of uneven bite
Placing Traditional Braces at Laughlin Dental
Placing a new set of braces is a multi-step process. First, we’ll educate you on all the components of your traditional braces. They’re mostly made up of brackets that attach to the surface of the tooth. Typically made from stainless steel or ceramic, these brackets begin to put pressure on the teeth and shift them into the desired place. Traditional braces also consist of metal bands that cover the molars and smaller rubber bands that help to produce more pressure. Some patients may also need to wear headgear at night to apply even more force to the misaligned teeth. Once all these components of traditional braces are in place, you’ll need to visit Laughlin Dental for occasional adjustments. During these appointments, we ensure your braces are putting enough pressure on your teeth for the best results.
Getting Results from Traditional Braces
Patients who use braces are generally benefitted with fantastic results. This orthodontic treatment is very effective at properly aligning teeth and giving you the straight smile you deserve. While some patients may need to wear a removable retainer after having braces removed, you’ll see clear results. Not only do patients report feeling more confident in their appearance, but they also come away with healthier teeth, free of bacteria in hard-to-reach places.
