How Traditional Braces Work
Understanding the process from start to finish
Free Consultation & Exam
60 minutes
We'll examine your teeth, take X-rays and photos, and create a customized treatment plan showing exactly how we'll transform your smile.
Getting Braces On
1-2 hours
We'll carefully attach small metal brackets to each tooth using special dental adhesive. Then we thread a wire through the brackets and secure it with tiny elastic bands (choose your colors!).
Regular Adjustments
18-24 months
Visit us every 4-6 weeks for adjustments. We'll tighten wires, change elastic bands, and monitor your progress as your teeth gradually move.
Braces Off Day!
1 hour
The best day ever! We'll carefully remove your brackets and wires, clean and polish your teeth, and give you retainers to maintain your beautiful new smile.
