Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces work like traditional metal braces but have ceramic or porcelain brackets instead of metal ones. They also consist of archwires and align teeth by exerting pressure on them. They’re more subtle, making them an ideal option for people looking for a more discreet option.

Traditional Metal Braces

These are the most popular type of braces that consist of metal brackets the dentists stick to the teeth using adhesives. Your orthodontist then threads archwires through these brackets and uses elastic bands to hold the wires in place. Tightening these wires exerts pressure on the teeth, which aligns them to their correct positions.

Lingual Braces

Lingual braces also consist of metal brackets and archwires. However, unlike traditional braces, orthodontists place the archwires and metal brackets on the lingual side, which means you can’t see them. It offers a less intrusive option to metal brackets but may be difficult to clean.

They are an excellent choice for patients who prioritize aesthetics, offering effective treatment without visible hardware. This makes them especially appealing to professionals, teens, or individuals who prefer a more discreet approach to straightening their teeth.

What Can Braces Fix?

Most orthodontists recommend braces for addressing underbites and overbites. The former occurs when your lower teeth extend past the upper teeth, while the latter is vice-versa (the upper teeth extend beyond the lower ones. Braces will apply gradual pressure to move the teeth into their correct positions.

Braces are also ideal for addressing crowded teeth. Braces can help move the crowded teeth into their correct positions to eliminate crowding. Dentists can sometimes use braces with another treatment to get the best results.

You can also opt for braces to address uneven spacing between teeth. You may have large gaps between your teeth that ruin your beautiful smile. Braces will move the teeth closer to one another, reducing awkward gaps between teeth.

Braces Process

Consultation and Treatment Plan

The first consultation involves examining your teeth and conducting diagnostic tests to determine your candidacy for braces. The consultation may include taking X-rays, impressions, and photographs of your teeth. Your doctor will then create a customized treatment plan based on the information from the diagnostics.

Preparation and Braces Placement

Your orthodontist will apply a bonding agent or dental cement to the teeth. Then, brackets, which are small metal or ceramic squares or tubes, will be placed on the front surfaces of each tooth using the bonding agent. Once the brackets are in place, an archwire will be threaded through the brackets. The archwire acts as a guide to move your teeth into the desired positions. It is secured to the brackets using elastic or metal ligatures. In some cases, additional attachments such as rubber bands, springs, or hooks may be placed on the brackets to aid in tooth movement or to correct specific bite issues.

Adjustments and Progress Monitoring

Your orthodontist will schedule an appointment every four to eight weeks to adjust your braces. They will tighten or change the wires, change the ligatures, or make other adjustments during these appointments. Adjusting the braces is necessary to gradually move your teeth into their correct positions.

What Parents Are Saying…

I recently visited the Elegant Pediatric Dentistry for a routine check-up, and I must say it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Dr. Parsafar went above and beyond to provide me with top-notch dental care, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the warm greeting at the reception to the minimal wait time, the clinic's efficiency was commendable. The entire team displayed professionalism and compassion, creating a friendly and comfortable atmosphere. If you're in search of a dentist who provides exceptional care, Elegant Pediatric Dentistry is the place to go.

My 6yo daughter and I had a good experience here with Dr. Babak. They were flexible with scheduling and they even put her favorite movie. He spent more time with us than I would generally expect a dentist to. He sees adults as well so it would be easy to get everyone's appointments done all at once. Would recommend!

Extremely friendly staff, state of the art tech, brand new office; timely service and focused on people and care, for a change and not business.

I have known Dr. Parsafar or "Dr.A"  since she started working with us. I enjoy everything about her dental practice and as a person especially her sweetness , kindness and thoughtfulness. I Would definitely recommend her and her office !!

After being referred to a different dental office for my daughter's teeth, my maternal instincts raised concerns about the initial diagnosis, which suggested sedation and a significant number of cavities. Opting for a second opinion, I consulted with Dr. Javidi, and I am incredibly grateful I did. Dr. Javidi instilled a sense of confidence and none of the previously mentioned concerns were present.

Given urgency of my situation, they gave me an appointment within 2 days. Super nice, fresh and fancy facility. Warm welcoming staff. Drs. Javidi and Parsafar were on top of everything and took care of my tooth quickly!

My mom went by to Elegant Dentistry for a cleaning and came back feeling very pleased with your experience! She will be booking any further appointments at this office, as she feels she found a great home dentist that made her feel very comfortable and also executed their job incredibly well!

From the moment we stepped into the office, the staff was warm and welcoming. Dr. Parsafar demonstrated a high level of expertise and professionalism during my husband's appointment.
