Who is a candidate for traditional braces?
Braces suit patients with more complex bite or spacing corrections, or patients who would rather not be responsible for wearing and tracking removable trays.
What does getting traditional braces involve?
Brackets are bonded to the teeth and connected with an archwire, then adjusted at regular follow-up visits to gradually move the teeth into position.

How long does treatment with braces take?
Timelines depend on the complexity of the case. Your provider will give you an individual estimate after your assessment.
Do braces hurt?
Some soreness is common for a few days after placement and after adjustments as teeth respond to gentle pressure. This is normal and manageable with basic pain relief.
How do braces compare with Invisalign?
Braces are fixed in place and need more care around cleaning, while Invisalign aligners are removable. Your provider will help you choose the option that suits your case.
