Orthodontic Braces: Straighten Your Teeth and Improve Your Bite with Proven, Effective Treatment
Traditional braces for comprehensive teeth alignment
Traditional orthodontic braces remain one of the most effective solutions for achieving straight, healthy teeth — especially for complex alignment issues. Whether you’re dealing with crowding, spacing, bite problems, or jaw misalignment, braces can create long-lasting results and dramatically improve both function and appearance.
At Danton Dental in , we provide orthodontic braces for children, teens, and adults. Our team uses modern techniques and careful planning to ensure safe tooth movement and a comfortable experience throughout your treatment journey.
This guide explains everything you need to know about braces: how they work, what issues they fix, treatment steps, cost, and what to expect.
What Are Orthodontic Braces?
- Brackets (bonded to each tooth)
- Archwires (apply pressure to move teeth)
- Elastics or bands (help guide tooth movement)
What Problems Can Braces Fix?
Crowded teeth
When teeth overlap or don't have enough space.
Spacing and gaps
Uneven spacing between teeth.
Overbite
Upper teeth overlap the lower teeth excessively.
Underbite
Lower teeth extend beyond the upper teeth.
Crossbite
Upper and lower teeth don't align correctly.
Open bite
