Consisting of metal brackets and wires, traditional braces slowly move teeth into their desired locations using constant gentle force in controlled directions. While the teeth are being shifted, the orthodontist also adjusts the bite by attaching elastics to the braces to induce jaw movement.
“Timing is everything, especially when it comes to your child’s orthodontic treatment,” explained a spokesperson for Sean Liu Orthodontics. “When traditional braces treatment is started at the correct time, we can guide the growth of the jaw and incoming permanent teeth. In other words, early treatment can simplify later treatment.”
In addition to cosmetic issues like gaps and crowding, traditional braces can be used to correct several issues affecting the functionality of the teeth, including overbites, underbites, crossbites, open bites, and jaw misalignments.
Once the teeth have been shifted into their desired positions and the braces have been removed, patients are asked to wear a retainer in order to prevent the teeth from shifting back into their old positions. Usually, this retainer is worn every day for at least a year after treatment, and then just at night or as prescribed once the year is over.
The cost of traditional braces typically ranges between $3,000 and $7,000, depending on the complexity of the case, the materials used for the braces, and the duration of the treatment; however, in some cases, insurance may cover a portion of the treatment. Other expenses may include consultation fees, follow-up appointments, and retainers post-treatment.
Children and teens who are worried about how intrusive and obvious traditional braces are can instead opt for clear braces made out of ceramic and composite.
“Sean Liu Orthodontics gave me a smile I'm proud to show off,” said a satisfied patient. “The staff was super friendly, and they made having braces a lot easier than I expected. Now, my teeth are perfectly straight, and I feel more confident than ever. I can’t thank them enough.”
