Traditional Braces

Traditional Braces are a popular and trusted solution for aligning teeth. Dr. LeJeune and the rest of our team are committed to providing you with the best treatment possible that is tailored to your specific needs. Modern orthodontics has introduced many options, but traditional braces remain a popular and reliable way to correct dental misalignments.

Why Choose Traditional Braces?

Over the years, traditional braces have undergone a significant evolution. They combine time-tested techniques with innovative innovations to produce exceptional results. These braces are especially effective in addressing complex alignment problems, such as severe crowding, underbites, and overbites. Traditional braces are more precise than some of the newer options and provide a comprehensive, long-lasting outcome.

The use of new materials makes braces less visible than ever. The brackets and wires of today are smaller, sleeker and more comfortable. This allows patients to receive effective treatment while experiencing minimal discomfort. Colorful bands are available for younger patients and those who want to personalize their treatment.

Benefits beyond Aesthetics

Traditional braces offer benefits that go beyond aesthetics. Teeth that are correctly aligned and clean reduce the risk of gum disease and cavities. Correcting bite issues can also prevent excessive wear on your teeth that may lead to damage or sensitivity.

Orthodontic treatment using traditional braces promotes the following:



• Better Oral Health: Aligned teeth are easier to brush and floss, which helps reduce the accumulation of plaque and tartar.
• Improved Functionality: Correcting your bite problems will ensure your teeth are correctly aligned, which improves both speech and chewing.
• Improved Confidence: A perfectly aligned smile can boost self-esteem and make patients feel more confident during social and professional interactions.

Orthodontic Treatment For All Ages

While often associated with teens, traditional braces are a great option for all patients. Adults seek orthodontic treatment for misalignments that they may have suffered since childhood or to address shifting of teeth due to age or other factors. Adult orthodontics has become increasingly popular. Because of their effectiveness and reliability, traditional braces are still the go-to option for even the most difficult cases.

Early intervention in younger patients can make a big difference to their oral health over the long term. Dr. LeJeune suggests that children have their first orthodontic assessment by the age of 7. Early assessment allows for early treatment and helps to identify any potential problems.

What To Expect During Treatment

A comprehensive consultation is the first step in starting your orthodontic journey using traditional braces. Dr. LeJeune performs a thorough examination of your bite and teeth, discusses your goals, and creates a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Digital imaging and X-rays can be used to ensure precise planning.

After your braces have been placed, regular visits to our office to check on progress and make necessary adjustments are vital. These appointments, which are usually scheduled every 4 to 6 weeks, ensure that your treatment is on track.

Tips To Success For Braces

To achieve the best possible results, it is important that you follow Dr. LeJeune's and our team's guidelines. The following are some tips on how to maintain your braces during treatment and improve your oral health.



1. Good Oral Hygiene: Brush after each meal and floss every day to prevent food particles getting stuck in braces.
2. Avoid Some Foods: Sticky, Hard, and Chewy Foods can damage braces. Choose softer foods to protect your appliances.
3. Use Orthodontic Tools: Tools such as interdental brushes, floss threaders, and other orthodontic tools can help you clean around the brackets and wires.
4. Wear A Mouthguard: If you play sports, a mouthguard can protect your braces and teeth from injury.

The Power of Beautiful Smile

Traditional braces are an investment for both your oral and overall health. The benefits of traditional braces go beyond just a straighter smile. They also impact your confidence and dental health in the long term. Traditional braces are a great option for teens and adults who want to correct alignment problems or improve their smile.
