Traditional Braces on Long Island

Traditional braces remain a trusted and effective orthodontic option for improving dental health and aligning teeth, and we’re here to guide you through every step of the process. Whether it’s for you or your child, our team combines experience, care, and advanced techniques to deliver personalized treatment plans designed to enhance oral health and aesthetics.

What Are Traditional Braces?

Traditional braces are a tried-and-true orthodontic treatment using metal brackets, wires, and bands to move teeth into their proper positions gradually. They’re perfect for improving alignment, correcting bites, and ensuring long-term oral health. Moreover, braces are a gateway to a lifetime of confidence and a radiant, healthy smile that lights up every room you enter. Traditional braces may have been around for decades, but technological advances have made them more efficient and comfortable than ever before.

Chart Your Course

Whether in Nesconset, Northport, or another one of our Long Island locations, our skilled team can make your orthodontic journey as seamless and enjoyable as possible.

Step 1: Placement

During your first appointment, our orthodontist will carefully attach small brackets to each tooth using a safe, dental adhesive. These brackets act like tiny grips that hold the wires in place.

Step 3: Gentle Pressure

Over time, the wire applies gentle, consistent pressure to shift your teeth into their ideal positions. Don’t worry; it’s perfectly normal to experience mild discomfort at first, but this is a sign that your braces are working!

Step 2: Connecting the Wires

Next, we’ll connect the brackets using a thin metal wire, gently guiding your teeth into alignment. This wire is periodically adjusted to keep your treatment moving forward at the right pace.

Step 4: Regular Adjustments

Throughout your treatment, you’ll visit our office for routine adjustments. These appointments ensure everything stays on track and allow us to monitor your progress. Before you know it, your gorgeous new smile will be ready to debut!
