At Valley Dental Care of Plainfield, we help patients of all ages achieve healthy, straight smiles with traditional metal braces. Braces remain one of the most reliable orthodontic treatments available, and they offer excellent results for even complex alignment issues.
Why Choose Metal Braces?
Although new orthodontic options exist, metal braces continue to be a trusted solution. They use a system of brackets and wires to gently guide your teeth into the proper position over time. Because of their durability, braces are ideal for patients who need precise and consistent tooth movement.
- Strong and long-lasting materials
- Effective for mild to severe orthodontic cases
- More affordable than some alternatives
How Metal Braces Work
Our orthodontic team places small metal brackets on the front of each tooth and connects them with a wire. Regular adjustments ensure your teeth continue moving as planned. Over time, you’ll notice improvements in both the appearance of your smile and the way your teeth function together.
Benefits Beyond Aesthetics
Straighter teeth do more than improve your confidence. They also make it easier to brush and floss, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Proper alignment can even relieve strain on your jaw and improve your overall oral health.
Life with Braces
Getting braces means making some small adjustments to your routine, but most patients adapt quickly. We recommend avoiding sticky or hard foods that could damage your brackets and wires. To keep your treatment on track, attend all scheduled appointments for adjustments.
- Brush after meals to prevent food buildup
- Use a floss threader or water flosser for easier cleaning
- Protect your braces during sports with a mouthguard
