What are
Braces involve a system of brackets and wires to align your teeth and improve your bite.
A time-tested solution with a modern twist
While braces have been around for generations, the state-of-the-art braces we use at San Diego Smile Pros are a far cry from those of even a decade ago. With small brackets, thin, shape-memory wires and a variety of materials, treatment is more precise, comfortable and aesthetic.
How Do Braces Work?
Your braces apply gentle pressure that stimulates a natural biological process called bone remodeling. This allows the teeth to move in the precise direction your appliance guides them. Depending on your needs, Dr. Durschlag may add auxiliaries like rubber bands to your braces to help simultaneously align your bite.
Braces Don’t Have an Age Limit
The majority of patients can get braces. The treatment option is effective for addressing a wide variety of smile concerns. Braces aren’t just for kids and teens either; we have a number of adult braces patients at our practice too
Why Get Braces?
Getting braces is a great way to enhance the look, function and health of your smile. Since the appliance stays in place throughout treatment, braces are convenient for patients who would have trouble keeping track of clear aligners and remembering to wear them according to schedule. A lot of our younger patients also prefer braces, because they can customize them at visits with colorful elastics.
