Braces have been used as an effective treatment for straightening smiles for hundreds of years, and with modern upgrades, they are still one of the most common orthodontic procedures. To learn more about braces in Balmville, New York, and how our dentists can use them to give you a healthier smile, call K.I.S.S. Dental Care at 845-561-2213 and schedule your consultation with Dr. U.G. Yoon and associates today.
Braces are among the most common orthodontic treatments available, and remain one of the most reliable and effective options for straightening your teeth. Braces consist of a system of metal brackets, wires and bands attached to your teeth, and work to correct problems such as:
- Crooked teeth
- Crowded teeth
- Gapped and spaced teeth
- Bad bites, including crossbites, open bites, underbites and overbites
When you receive braces, our dentists will bond the brackets to the front surfaces of your teeth before attaching the wire and bands. As the wire is adjusted, your braces will gradually move your teeth into their optimal positions. You will meet with our dentists and team regularly throughout your treatment to ensure that your smile is progressing as planned and that there are no issues with your treatment. We also encourage you to contact us as soon as possible if a bracket breaks, comes loose or you experience other problems. Our dentists can correct these problems quickly to keep your treatment on track and ensure your comfort.
While most people associate braces with a “mouth full of metal,” advances in technology and materials have made braces smaller, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. Our dentists will discuss your treatment with you, including alternatives to traditional braces such as clear braces or clear aligners, to create your treatment plan and help you achieve the healthy, beautiful smile of your dreams.
