Traditional metal braces can be a great orthodontic treatment option for patients of all ages. We use braces made of high-grade, stainless steel archwires attached to brackets that are carefully set to gently move your teeth into the desired position. Metal braces are frequently a great choice for adults and kids with a misaligned jaw, teeth that are crowded or gapped, or an underbite or overbite. MINT dentistry also uses top-quality elastics that are simple to put on and won't break easily. At your initial consultation, we will explain your orthodontic options, then help you select the approach that best fits your goals and lifestyle.

A MINT dentistry professional will develop an orthodontic treatment plan customized to match your needs during your consultation. To begin your appointment, we'll ask you to sit in one of our massaging treatment chairs in a well-equipped procedure room. After putting on a set of our Beats headphones and a pair of our MINT sunglasses, your enamel will be prepared and cleaned before we put on your metal braces. Once we have applied the bonding agent, your brackets will be placed on each tooth. When the brackets are set in place, we can thread the archwire through. You can then pick your color or colors for your elastic bands. The bands attach the wire to the brackets. Typically, the process is quick and patients usually experience minimal discomfort. You will need to visit our Morrow, GA facility about once a month for progress exams and adjustments.

Cleaning your teeth with braces requires a little ingenuity. However, proper oral hygiene is still important to your overall health. Before you leave with your new braces, our team will educate you on how to best clean your teeth and share our tips. We strongly suggest that you brush and floss your teeth at least twice a day. Attending all your adjustment appointments, as well as regular dental cleanings, can also help to give you optimal results. On average, most patients have braces for a couple of years, but the length of your treatment will depend on the severity of your case. After your treatment is over, we will take your braces off and move you into a retainer. Our MINT dentistry team will help you choose the right type of retainer for your needs.

Traditional metal braces are typically more affordable than other types of orthodontic treatments. During your initial consultation at MINT dentistry, your dentist will discuss your treatment options and estimates so you can select which fits your goals and budget. If you are using insurance, our skilled support staff will speak to your provider to clarify your benefits and then calculate your out-of-pocket costs. If you don't have insurance, our Morrow, GA practice accepts many payment options, and we can tell you how to apply for medical financing plans.
