What are braces?

Braces are dental devices used to align teeth correctly so that patients get beautiful smiles, comfortable bites and clear speech. The dental speciality that covers braces is called orthodontics.

What types of braces are available?

Braces are structural or cosmetic. Structural braces are fitted for children while cosmetic braces are placed for adults and adolescents. Braces may be fixed or removable. Structural or traditional braces are made of stainless steel. Cosmetic braces are made of clear ceramic material or clear plastic. Some braces are self-ligating, that is, they use a slide mechanism rather than elastic bands to connect to the dental archwire. Lingual braces are metal braces placed on the inner surface of teeth. This type of brace is not visible and are preferred by patients requiring cosmetic braces.

How long do you have to wear braces for?

The length of orthodontic treatment depends on the needs and orthodontic problems of each individual patient. Treatments for adults may take a longer time. On average, patients need to wear braces for about 2 years and then they need to wear a retainer to maintain the corrected position of teeth. For some adults treatment may take about 3 years.

How are braces installed on teeth?

For fixed braces, the orthodontist dries the teeth and places glue or bonding cement on the braces. The braces are placed on teeth and a UV light is shone on them to cure the glue or cement. For removable braces, an impression of the teeth is taken and a technician makes the removable brace consisting of a plastic plate and wires. The brace is then fitted on teeth.

How do braces work on teeth?

Braces exert a steady pressure on teeth. The pressure is periodically adjusted as needed by the orthodontist. Eventually the pressure exerted by braces corrects the alignment of teeth.

Do braces hurt?

Braces are uncomfortable when first placed on teeth. Patients experience soreness and need to get used to the pressure exerted on the teeth by braces. Patients normally get used to braces within a month.

Laser Dental Clinic by Dr Roberto Altamira

Baja California Sur, Mexico

I could not be happier, plus the cost was reasonable and within my budgetDOUGLAS, Mexico, 04 07 20

I recently visited Dr. Altamira's Laser Dental Clinic (first-time visit) and was treated by Dra. Patricia J. Carrillo. My visit was for a cleaning and examination. I'm 67 years old and have visited clinics regularly my adult life, this Clinic is 1st Class in professionalism, cleanliness and state of the art dental equipment. Dra. Patricia J. Carrillo, during the examination, discovered 3 cavities, 2 side by side on my upper jaw and 1 in my lower jaw, same side. I was rescheduled two days later for the fillings. Dra. Patricia did an excellent job on my teeth, she transformed the way my upper teeth look where the cavities were. She was able to match the fillings to the natural colour of my teeth. I could not be happier, plus the cost was reasonable and within my budget. Thank you for making me smile a little bigger.

I absolutely, without hesitation, would recommend this clinicCassandra, US, 14 06 24

Hi all, I started my dental journey here in California. After several visits to several different dentist I was quoted $20,000 for my bottom arch (all on six). By the time I would’ve finished paying that off with finance fees, I was looking at $50,000 total. Then I was referred to Lulu and the Innova dental implant center by the friend of a friend. I am so glad that I called. It was an extremely challenging procedure to go through,and I had my fears of going out of the states for any healthcare. I can tell you that Lulu (an outstanding Liaison) ,and the entire staff at Innova Dental Implants were amazing. Lulu answered every single question I ever had with promptness and courtesy. The Innova staff from reception to dental assistance from doctors to drivers were all top notch . The facility was clean. The staff was courteous and professional, and Dr. Benjamin did a phenomenal job on the final product which included all on six for both my top and bottom arches. All at a fraction of the price it would’ve cost me in the states. I absolutely, without hesitation, would recommend Innova dental implant center.
