What Are Braces & Why They Matter

Braces are fixed orthodontic appliances that apply gentle, continuous forces to align teeth and balance the bite—improving comfort, function, and long-term oral health. Beyond a straighter smile, orthodontic alignment can reduce uneven wear, make hygiene easier, and lower risk for decay and gum disease. There are several types of braces available to fit your goals, lifestyle, and timeline.

  • Healthier bite & joints: Alignment supports efficient chewing and may reduce jaw strain.
  • Easier hygiene: Straighter teeth simplify brushing and flossing, helping prevent cavities and gum disease.
  • Less uneven wear: Balanced contacts protect enamel and restorations over time.
  • Confident esthetics: A well-aligned smile looks natural and proportional.

Who Braces Are For (Teens & Adults)

  • Teens Guides developing teeth and jaws into healthy alignment, helping prevent future problems and boosting confidence.
  • Adults Corrects long-standing crowding, spacing, or bite issues with modern options that fit work and life.

Pediatric & Teen Orthodontics in Glendale

We welcome younger patients for early evaluations and age-appropriate guidance. Monitoring growth, tooth eruption, and bite lets us recommend the right timing—whether that’s interceptive care now or comprehensive treatment later.

  • Early checks Spot crowding, spacing, and bite concerns as the jaws develop.
  • Growth-friendly options Space maintainers or expanders can simplify later treatment.
  • Teen choices Low-profile braces or clear aligners (e.g., Invisalign® Teen) when appropriate.

What to Expect with Braces

  • Comprehensive evaluation Digital photos, X-rays/CBCT as indicated, and intraoral scans (iTero, Medit, TRIOS) to map your smile and bite.
  • Precision planning CAD/CAM setup and T-Scan bite analysis help design efficient, comfortable tooth movement.
  • Placement day Brackets and wires are placed with comfort tips for the first week; wax and guidance provided.
  • Adjustments & progress Periodic visits fine-tune movement; elastics or accessories may be used to perfect the bite.
  • Comfort options Nitrous oxide or oral sedation available when appropriate.
