Traditional Orthodontics
Traditional Orthodontics Services in Johns Creek
Who doesn’t want a straighter smile? Nothing builds confidence like a smile. Advance Dental Center offers orthodontic solutions from traditional to Invisalign and even accelerated orthodontics.
What is Traditional Orthodontics?
Traditional Orthodontics uses wires and brackets to slowly position teeth into a natural position where they are not crowded, spaced or have some other positioning problems (malocclusion). These wires and brackets can be the standard silver-colored or a more discreet clear. Either way, you get a beautiful, straight smile that will serve to prevent or address problems associated with bruxism, cavities, gum disease or diminished self-confidence.
Benefits of Traditional Orthodontics
The great thing about traditional orthodontics is that you ensure that you are continually “activated”. There is no forgetting to put in your trays, or losing trays to deal with. Another benefit is that traditional orthodontics is compatible with Accelerated Orthodontics, a technique of improving the process by which orthodontics works and thus speeding up treatment time by significant margins.

How Traditional Braces Work
Traditional braces consist of a series of brackets and wires. Dr. Ali Rajai our on-staff orthodontist, attach the brackets to the teeth, then use wires to connect them. Each time you visit our team for checkups throughout your treatment period, our doctors will adjust the wires. The constant pressure on the teeth gently moves them into their proper positions. Sometimes, the braces work alongside other orthodontic appliances to ensure that patients achieve a well-aligned bite and fully functional mouth.
The total treatment time with braces for the teeth to reach their proper places varies from patient to patient. After you get your braces removed, it’s important that you wear a retainer so your teeth don’t drift back out of place. At first, you’ll need to wear the retainer full-time. As time passes, however, you may be able to graduate to wearing it just a few nights each week.
Advantages of Traditional Braces
Since they are attached to your teeth all the time, you won’t have to worry about losing them or forgetting to wear them.
They are one of the most affordable orthodontic treatments. Many dental insurance policies cover them.
You can pick from a wide variety of colors. For adult braces in South Loop, you might choose discreet colors, while kids may love to express themselves with bright brackets.
