Braces

Braces are an effective orthodontic treatment used to straighten teeth and correct bite issues. They consist of small brackets that are bonded to your teeth and connected by a thin wire. Over time the gentle, consistent pressure from the braces gradually moves your teeth into the proper position. Our office offers both metal braces and ceramic braces for patients who desire a more esthetic option.

Braces can treat a wide range of orthodontic problems, including crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. They not only improve your smile’s appearance – they also support better oral health by making teeth easier to clean and improving the way your teeth and jaws work together.

Treatment with braces usually takes anywhere from 12 to 30 months, depending on the complexity of the case. Regular adjustments will be made by Dr. Mullen and our experienced team to guide your teeth into their ideal positions.
