What Are Braces?

Braces are an orthodontic treatment that corrects various malocclusions or bite misalignments, including crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth. Dental braces are also effective in addressing overbites, underbites, and crossbites. We offer traditional braces and Invisalign® clear aligners to address your specific oral health needs.

Phase 1 and 2 Braces in Morrisville

Our friendly team welcomes children, teens, and adults who are ready to turn their dream smile into a reality. Every stage of life requires different dental treatments, and our team is proud to offer Phase 1 and Phase 2 orthodontic treatment so you and your loved ones can smile confidently.

Phase 1 orthodontics consists of the treatments children need to protect their developing bite patterns and address potential issues. We welcome kids as young as seven and craft a treatment plan that is tailored to their unique needs as they lose their primary teeth, and their permanent teeth erupt. Our team offers space maintainers and appliances that support orthodontic needs to help your little one's smile develop properly.

Phase 2 orthodontics corrects misalignments that impact permanent teeth. Whether your teen has crooked teeth or you have an underbite you would like to address, our team is here to help. The treatments we offer for this phase of orthodontics include traditional braces, teeth aligners, and appliances.

Our Effective Braces Process

Your smile is unique, and you deserve a personalized treatment plan to fit your specific needs and smile goals. Our compassionate orthodontist takes the time to perform a thorough and gentle exam to determine the severity of your bite misalignment. He then crafts a treatment plan that is tailored to fit your needs and lifestyle.

We encourage open and honest discussion because the more we understand your goals, the better we can align your plan with your needs. For those with mild to moderate misalignments, we offer clear aligners or braces. The clear aligners are removable, and it's vital to wear them for 22 hours each day to enjoy optimal results.

If your misalignment is mild to severe, then braces are an effective treatment option. Traditional braces consist of metal wires and brackets that are attached to your teeth and guide them into the optimal position. Regardless of which treatment plan is best for you, you can trust that our team will be there for you throughout the process and provide helpful tips and instructions.

Braces FAQs

It's natural to have questions about your custom treatment plan, which is why we encourage you to voice your concerns and questions. Our team is happy to provide the answers and resources you need to make an informed decision regarding your orthodontic treatment. Here are some of the most common questions we receive about braces in Morrisville.

How long do braces take?

The timeline for your personalized treatment will depend on the severity of your misalignment. In general, the time frame for completing dental braces treatment is 6-18 months.

Do braces hurt?

No. You may experience slight pressure when your braces are initially set or when the archwire is adjusted, but you can take over-the-counter pain medication to alleviate the discomfort.

Do I need special tools to clean my braces?

You do not need special tools to clean clear aligners. If you have traditional braces, you may discover that a water flosser or a "Christmas tree" brush are helpful tools to clean under the wire or between the brackets.

Are there oral health benefits to braces or clear aligners?

Yes. Straightening your teeth improves the appearance of your smile and your oral health. It's easier to brush and floss your teeth when they are spaced properly, which helps to prevent cavities and gum disease.
