A straight smile is a beautiful and healthy smile! At Patchogue and Hampton Family Dental in Patchogue, NY and Hampton, NY, we offer braces to our patients. Braces are a traditional route of straitening teeth for both health and cosmetic reasons.
Not only do straight teeth look nice, but they also create a more healthy mouth. Crowded teeth create places for bacteria to hide. Spaced out teeth can create more injury-prone gum tissue. A smile with crowding, spacing, or both can also create abnormal wear-down of teeth.
These days, traditional braces are made of super strong metal alloys. This allows for smooth movement. Your doctor will bond brackets to the fronts of your teeth that will hold a wire. The wire applies continuous pressure on the teeth so that over time, they shift into the directed position. The wire is changed out about once per month. Every case is different, so the time braces are worn for will depend on the patient. The end result is a smile that is beautiful and healthy.
