Braces 101: What You Need to Know

Braces are used to correct misaligned teeth. Today's braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than ever before. They're also available in several colors, including clear or tooth-colored versions. At your consultation with Dr. Coleman, he'll recommend the most effective treatment for you or your child.

Treatment Timing and Phases of Treatment

Orthodontic treatment can either be completed all at once or in phases depending on your age and treatment needs. The first phase of a two-phase program usually lasts from 12 to 18 months. Full treatment, when all adult teeth have erupted, usually takes between 20 to 36 months.

Problems That Can Be Corrected With Braces

Do you think you're a prime candidate for braces? Here are a few problems that can easily be corrected with braces:

Crossbite
Open bite
Crowding
Excess spacing

Overjet
Deep bite
Underbite
Midline misalignment

Other Appliances Used During Treatment

Certain appliances can be used in addition to braces during orthodontic treatment. These include the Herbst appliance, the lingual arch, and the bite plate. If these appliances are part of your or your child's recommended treatment plan, Dr. Coleman will explain each in detail for you.
