What Are Braces?

Braces are orthodontic devices used to straighten teeth, correct bite issues, and improve alignment. They apply gentle, continuous pressure on the teeth, gradually moving them into the desired position.

Braces typically consist of:

  • Brackets: small squares attached to the front (or back) of teeth.
  • Archwires: thin wires that connect brackets and guide movement.
  • Bands or elastics: used in some cases to add extra force.

Braces can correct problems like crooked teeth, gaps, crowding, overbites, underbites, and crossbites.

Each option is carefully evaluated to match the patient lifestyle, preferences, and oral health requirements. Advanced technology allows precise customization of braces. It keeps comfort and efficiency throughout treatment.

Why Consider Braces

Many people delay orthodontic treatment due to concerns about appearance or time commitment. Modern orthodontic braces address these challenges effectively.

Key reasons to choose braces:

  • Correcting crowded, crooked, or overlapping teeth
  • Improving bite function and chewing efficiency
  • Reducing the risk of dental problems, such as decay or gum disease
  • Enhancing confidence and self-esteem with a well-aligned smile

Cochran Orthodontics emphasizes treatments that respect natural tooth structure. Our team provides guidance on the best options for discreet and effective alignment.

Our Treatment Process with Braces

  • The first step in orthodontic treatment is a comprehensive consultation before considering the best braces. Cochran Orthodontics evaluates oral health, alignment issues, and overall dental function.
  • Digital scans and 3D imaging are used to create precise treatment plans. These tools allow accurate visualization of tooth movement and expected outcomes.
  • Once a plan is approved, brackets or aligners are placed. For traditional and clear braces, wires are attached to guide teeth into alignment. Lingual braces are bonded behind the teeth for a hidden appearance.
  • Patients return for regular adjustments, typically every four to six weeks. These visits monitor progress, ensure proper function, and address any concerns.
  • Throughout treatment, our team emphasizes comfort and patient education. We provide tips for oral care, eating, and maintaining braces during daily activities.

Braces: Treatment Cost

The cost of braces varies based on treatment complexity and type. Factors include the number of teeth treated, duration of treatment, and any additional dental work needed.

At Cochran Orthodontics, we provide transparent pricing and detailed consultations. Insurance may cover part of orthodontic treatment, and our staff assists with claims.

Our flexible financing options also help us deliver affordable braces without compromising the quality aspect. Investing in braces improves oral health and prevents future dental complications, making it a valuable long-term decision.

Daily Life with Braces

Adjusting to braces may require minor changes to daily routines. Eating habits may need modification to avoid hard, sticky, or crunchy foods.

Oral hygiene is critical. Brushing and flossing around braces prevents plaque buildup and maintains gum health. Cochran Orthodontics provides specialized tools and instructions for effective care.

Regular visits ensure the braces function properly. Adjustments, cleanings, and monitoring help patients achieve optimal results. Most patients adapt quickly and notice gradual improvements in comfort and alignment
