How braces work

Braces use consistent, gentle pressure to move teeth into their proper alignment. Although a traditional orthodontic treatment takes approximately two years to complete, there are many variables that can affect the length of treatment. The age of the patient, the severity of the condition, and how well the patient responds to treatment can all affect treatment time.
Since no two people are exactly alike, it is important that each person’s orthodontic treatment be based on a personalized diagnosis. At Advanced Orthodontics, all “first time” patients are seen for a complimentary initial exam. If orthodontic treatment is indicated, a second appointment is made to gather the appropriate information to form the individualized treatment plan.
