Skip to content Braces are a popular orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth and corrects bite issues by applying gentle, consistent pressure. This effective method not only improves your smile’s appearance but also leads to better oral health. Braces can be customized to suit various needs and preferences, offering both aesthetic and functional benefits.

Braces are a time-tested orthodontic treatment that uses brackets, wires, and sometimes elastic bands to gradually move teeth into their proper positions. They are effective for correcting various dental issues, including crooked teeth, overbites, underbites, and gaps between teeth. At Viva Medspa & Wellness, we offer various types of braces to meet different needs and preferences. Our experienced orthodontists tailor each treatment plan to the individual patient, ensuring optimal results and comfort throughout the process.
Braces are recommended for patients of all ages, from children and teenagers to adults, seeking to improve their smile and oral health. They’re particularly beneficial for those with moderate to severe alignment issues or bite problems.
Before Treatment
During your initial consultation, your orthodontist will evaluate your dental structure, discuss your goals, and determine the best type of braces for your needs. They’ll also address any questions or concerns you may have about the treatment process.
During Treatment
The process of getting braces typically takes 1-2 hours. The orthodontist will clean and prepare your teeth, attach the brackets, and thread the archwire through them. You may experience some discomfort or pressure for a few days after the initial placement and subsequent adjustments.
After Treatment
You’ll need to attend regular follow-up appointments (usually every 4-8 weeks) for adjustments and status checks. Proper oral hygiene and following care instructions are crucial during treatment. Some dietary restrictions may be necessary to protect your braces.
