Metal Braces
Traditional braces made of stainless steel brackets, are an iconic part of what braces look like, they are time-tested, highly effective and a budget friendly choice. These brackets are placed on the your teeth with an adhesive (glue) to provide the grip necessary to move teeth and then connected via wires and bands to give the prescribed teeth movements required. While not as aesthetic as some bracket options, stainless steel brackets are highly effective and an excellent choice for many patients.

Orthodontic and Orthognathic Surgery
A dental emergency is anything but routine. With dental emergencies, usually obvious and immediate action is necessary to address severe pain, discomfort, or trauma to the mouth that may cause bleeding and lacerations to the gums and dislodge or fracture teeth.
Early Orthodontic Treatment (Childhood Braces)
Treatment for common orthodontic problems typically begins around age 9-14, when all of the baby teeth are gone and many of the permanent ones are in place. But there are some conditions that are much easier to treat if they’re caught at an early age, when a child’s natural growth processes are going full speed ahead.
These are the conditions we’d watch out for :
- Crossbite
- Severe crowding
- Protruding teeth (pronounced bunny teeth)
- Correcting bad habits eg. thumb sucking, tongue thrusting and mouth breathing.
Persistent thumb sucking beyond ages 5-6 years is usually harmful and will lead permanent damage to your child’s permanent teeth.
