What Are Braces?

Let’s say you have some crooked teeth, and you’ve heard of these things called braces. What are braces? We apply a device termed dental braces and wires with an adhesive to your teeth which repositions them into a more favorable position. This creates an aesthetic smile by having teeth properly aligned.

Your teeth will fit and function better in the posterior of your mouth better too. Teeth that function and fit together well will survive together well. Common issues like the ability to keep your teeth clean, or their ability to withstand wear from chewing possibly grinding, etc. can be improved by having your teeth properly aligned.

Yes, everyone wants a beautiful smile, but an often overlooked by-product of braces is the positive impact it has on the health of your teeth. What we try to ensure with the result we provide, are teeth which not only look great but also are board quality that we would want for ourselves or our family members. Braces Chelsea

COMMON PROBLEMS OF BRACES?

One common issue with braces is a broken metal bracket. These are placed with a removable adhesive so the braces can be removed, but sometimes these brackets will break. If this happens, the fix is you come see us for a visit, we remove the bracket, and re-bond it.

Another common issue is what we call the pokey wire. With a metal or ceramic set of braces, the wires we begin treatment with are small and light. And these light wires can have sharp ends. Inevitably sometimes these wires need clipping and bending so they don’t poke your mouth.
