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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!

Potentially! Traditional braces are versatile and practical, making them suitable for patients of all ages. They’re great for correcting everything from crooked teeth to overbites, underbites, and more. Call us to book a FREE consultation to know for sure!
While wearing braces, avoiding sticky, hard, or chewy foods that could damage the brackets or wires is best. But don’t worry—you can still enjoy plenty of delicious options like pasta, yogurt, fruits, and soft vegetables.
Treatment time varies based on your needs, but most patients wear braces for 12–24 months. Don’t worry, we’ll provide a customized plan and keep you informed every step of the way!
Keeping your teeth and braces clean is essential! After every meal, floss daily (using special floss threaders, if needed), and visit us regularly for check-ups. Our team is here to guide you through best practices for oral hygiene.
