Braces apply gentle, controlled pressure to gradually move teeth into improved positions. At Richmond Dental Centre, we offer traditional braces as part of our orthodontic services, along with Invisalign for patients who may be suitable candidates for clear aligner treatment.

What Are Braces?

Braces are orthodontic appliances that use brackets and wires to guide teeth into new positions over time. They may be considered for crooked or crowded teeth, spacing, and certain bite concerns. The type of orthodontic treatment recommended depends on your tooth alignment, bite, age, and treatment goals.

Benefits of Braces

  • Improve the alignment of crowded or crooked teeth
  • Address spacing between teeth
  • Improve selected bite relationships
  • Make some areas easier to brush and floss once teeth are better aligned
  • Create a straighter, more balanced-looking smile

What to Expect With Braces

Orthodontic treatment is planned over time and requires regular monitoring as the teeth move.

Initial Assessment: Your teeth and bite are examined to determine whether braces or another orthodontic option may be appropriate.

Treatment Planning: Records such as X-rays, photographs, or impressions may be used to plan tooth movement.

Placement: When braces are selected, brackets and wires are placed to begin applying controlled pressure to the teeth.

Adjustments: Regular appointments allow the progress of tooth movement to be monitored and the appliance adjusted as needed.

Retention: After active orthodontic treatment, retainers are commonly used to help maintain the new tooth positions.

Our office is located at 8211 Cook Road in Richmond, BC, and Richmond Dental Centre welcomes new patients, walk-ins, and dental emergencies.
