Dental Braces in Altadena

Dental braces in Altadena are orthodontic devices used to correct misaligned teeth, jaw irregularities, and bite issues. They apply constant, gentle pressure to gradually move your teeth into the desired position over time. Traditional braces consist of metal brackets attached to your teeth, connected by wires that are adjusted periodically.

Types of Braces:

Metal Braces: The most common type, metal braces are highly effective and can treat a wide range of alignment and bite issues. Modern versions of braces are more comfortable and less noticeable than they used to be.
Ceramic Braces: These function similarly to metal braces but use clear or tooth-colored brackets, making them less visible. ‍
Lingual Braces: Placed on the backside of your teeth, lingual braces are hidden from view, offering you a more discreet option.

Benefits of Braces:

Improved Oral Health: Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues.
Enhanced Appearance: Correcting misaligned teeth improves the aesthetics of your smile, boosting self-confidence. ‍
Bite Correction: Proper alignment ensures better function and prevents issues like jaw pain or uneven tooth wear.
