The Process
At your first visit to receive braces, we will take full head and mouth X-rays along with teeth impressions that will help us determine your specific course of treatment. Next, we will place your braces with the needed equipment that will help you reach your specific smile goal. Generally, the two pieces of braces that are used are brackets and arch-wires. However, these two work together to slowly apply pressure to your teeth causing them to move.
Our dentist will determine when you will need to come in to get your braces tightened and checked to ensure that they are doing their job correctly. Furthermore, depending on your specific case will determine how long you will need to wear braces. Commonly, our teenage patients wear them for approximately 2 years.

At-home oral health care will need to be more intense than before having braces to be sure all food and plaque are removed.
However, some foods will be discouraged from eating because they can harm your braces, such as hard or sticky foods.
Plus, flossing with braces can be difficult, but it is essential to ensure teeth stay clean while wearing braces.
Caring for your braces and your teeth while having braces in Canton will decrease the risk of needing restorative work.
