Dr. Randall Hestir, Dr. J. Doug Allen, Dr. John (Holt) Hestir and Dr. Catriona Oltmann offer traditional braces to align your teeth and improve your smile. This orthodontic solution is a good option for almost everyone considering orthodontic treatment and is designed to methodically and gently correct the positions of your teeth, enhancing not just the aesthetics of your smile but also your oral health.
Braces can resolve a variety of orthodontic challenges, including:
- Overcrowding
- Gaps between the teeth
- Tooth misalignment
- Bite issues, such as crossbites, open bites, underbites and overbites
Braces consist of a system of metal brackets, wires and bands. They are engineered to exert just the right amount of pressure on your teeth to gently realign them. These brackets are affixed to the teeth’s surface and are interconnected by a thin metal wire, tightened at intervals to guide the teeth towards their correct alignment. For those seeking a less noticeable option, ceramic braces are available, crafted to match the natural color of your teeth, thereby blending seamlessly with your smile.
You will meet with our dentists regularly throughout your treatment to ensure that your smile is progressing as planned. These visits allow for adjustments to your braces, ensuring that your teeth are steadily moving towards their ideal positions. We also encourage you to contact us if you experience any kind of orthodontic emergency, such as broken bands or wires, so that we can resolve these issues as soon as possible.
