Traditional Braces

This well-known type of orthodontic treatment employs brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into a pleasing, healthy arrangement. After precisely planning your orthodontic treatment, your Fort Worth orthodontist will thread a thin wire though clear or metal brackets bonded to the front of each tooth. Gentle tension applied to the wire straightens crooked or crowded teeth, closes gaps between teeth, and corrects bite problems.

Our knowledgeable Fort Worth orthodontic team provides instruction on how to care for your smile while wearing braces and explains each step in the process to attain your smile goals. Treatment time for each patient varies and depends on many factors, including the severity of the problems to correct. On average, orthodontic treatment with traditional braces takes 12 to 36 months to complete.

While our dentists often recommend traditional braces for children and teens who require orthodontic treatment, metal braces aren’t just for kids! Many adults opt for traditional braces, as well. We also offer Invisalign clear braces and Six Month Braces for teens and adults who prefer a more unobtrusive orthodontic solution than traditional braces provides.
