What are Traditional Braces?

Traditional braces, also known as metal braces, remain a highly effective and reliable method for correcting misaligned teeth and bite issues. They consist of small, durable metal brackets that are bonded to each tooth. These brackets are connected by a thin, flexible wire that applies gentle pressure, gradually shifting your teeth into their optimal positions. Traditional braces are a versatile solution, capable of addressing a wide spectrum of orthodontic concerns, from simple misalignments to more complex bite discrepancies.

The Traditional Braces Treatment Process

Your personalized traditional braces journey at Chaparral Smiles Dental begins with:

  1. Comprehensive Consultation: We’ll thoroughly assess your oral health, discuss your aesthetic goals, and utilize advanced digital imaging (including X-rays and 3D scans) to develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
  2. Precise Bracket Placement: Our experienced orthodontists will meticulously bond the brackets to your teeth, ensuring optimal placement for effective tooth movement.
  3. Gentle Wire Placement & Adjustments: The initial wire will be carefully placed, and you’ll visit us regularly for adjustments to ensure consistent progress. We’ll explain each step and answer any questions you may have.
  4. Progress Monitoring & Refinement: We’ll closely monitor your progress throughout treatment, making any necessary adjustments to achieve the best possible outcome.
  5. Retention for Lasting Results: After your braces are removed, we’ll provide you with retainers and detailed instructions to maintain your beautiful new smile for years to come.

Patient Testimonials: Real Stories, Real Smiles

I had been avoiding having dental work done on a couple of broken teeth for quite some time. A friend recommended Chaparral Smiles and I'm so glad she did!! From the lovely greeting as I entered, to the ongoing updates and explanation of my procedure, it was a very positive experience. Best of all, they direct billed my insurance company!

Was my first visit here with my wife and sons. All the staff were very friendly and explained everything very well. The hygienist and doctor were very gentle and made sure we were comfortable during the whole process. Will definitely be back regularly and recommend to anyone looking for a dentist.
