How Orthodontic
Treatment Works

Orthodontic appliances are made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. They may be removable or they may be brackets bonded to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move teeth to the proper position.

Gone are the days when a metal band with a bracket was placed around each tooth. You can now choose clear or metal brackets and, in some cases, the color of your appliance. Wires are far less noticeable, and the latest materials are designed to move teeth faster with more comfort. Today, any age is a great age to wear braces!

Types of Braces

Thanks to today’s advances in orthodontic technology, PDG Orthodontics can provide our patients with more options when it comes to wearing braces than ever before. While regular metal braces are still widely used, clear braces are becoming increasingly popular, along with invisible aligners that can be customized to your exact needs.

DURATION OF TREATMENT

Treatment time varies and can last between one and three years, depending on several factors including age, treatment method, and how minor or severe your case is. A big factor in a successful treatment is you! The more involved and diligent you are, the more efficient your treatment will be. For children, receiving interceptive or early treatment can also help provide a quicker treatment time.

Before beginning your orthodontic care, your doctor will discuss all of your options and provide an estimate for how long your full treatment may take. Please contact our practice to schedule an appointment and learn more about orthodontics and the treatments we provide. We will work with you every step of the way to make sure that your orthodontic care is as rewarding as possible.

Early Treatment Is Important to Consider!

    Facial Development

    By guiding facial development through the use of functional appliances, 80% of the issues can be corrected before adult teeth are present.

  • tooth-list-green

    Cooperation

    Children between the ages of 8 and 11 are often much more cooperative than children between the ages of 12 and 14.

  • tooth-list-green

    Shorter Treatment Time

    Early Phase One treatment can reduce the total time spent in fixed braces.

    Correcting Underdeveloped or Overdeveloped Jaws

    Functional appliances and/or limited braces can reposition the jaws, improving the child's profile and correcting the bite problem within 6 to 12 months.
