Braces: A Reliable Dental Answer for Healthy, Confident Smiles

Orthodontic treatment with braces helps people of all ages achieve healthier bites and confident smiles. It's one of the most reliable and effective ways to fix crooked teeth and bite issues. Braces deliver consistent results, long-term stability, and can tackle a full range of orthodontic concerns.

At Skrobola and Frantz Family Orthodontics, we're all about comfort, personalized care, and results that last. We put your experience first and stay committed to your long-term oral health.

Understanding Braces as an Orthodontic Solution

How Braces Work

Braces work by applying gentle, steady pressure to gradually move your teeth into better alignment over time. Brackets are placed on your teeth and connected by wires that guide movement in a controlled, predictable way. This process also corrects bite problems, which improves chewing, speech, and overall oral function.

Because braces move your teeth gradually, the treatment is both safe and effective. Your orthodontist will closely monitor your progress and make adjustments along the way to make sure your smile develops exactly as planned.

Who Can Benefit from Braces

Orthodontic treatment works for children, teens, and adults alike. Braces can help if you're dealing with crowded teeth, gaps, bite issues, or jaw problems. They're especially great for cases—whether mild or complex—that need precise, long-term correction.

Benefits of Modern Braces

Today's braces are more comfortable and efficient than ever before. New materials make it less irritating, and the better design can also help your teeth move more easily. Plus, the shorter treatment time and long-lasting results make this a popular orthodontic choice.

Types of Braces We Offer

Traditional Metal Braces

Traditional metal braces are still one of the most durable and successful orthodontic treatments out there. They can correct a wide range of alignment and bite issues. These braces deliver predictable results, and they're usually recommended for more complex orthodontic cases.

Clear and Low-Profile Braces

Clear and low-profile braces offer a less noticeable option while still delivering effective results. These braces are designed to be comfortable and blend naturally with your teeth. Many teens and adults choose this alternative when appearance matters during treatment.

What to Expect During Braces Treatment

Your First Orthodontic Consultation

Your braces journey starts with a comprehensive consultation. Digital scans and a thorough evaluation let your orthodontist check your teeth alignment, bite, and jaw. Then, a custom treatment plan is designed specifically for your dental needs. This personalized approach helps ensure efficient and highly effective results.

Ongoing Adjustments and Check-Ins

Throughout your treatment, you'll have regular clinic visits to track your progress. Your orthodontist will make adjustments as needed to keep your teeth moving in the right direction. These appointments are also a great chance to ask questions and stay informed about your treatment timeline.

Retention After Braces

Retention is essential after your braces come off. Retainers help keep your new smile in place and prevent your teeth from shifting back. Wearing your retainer as directed will save you time and effort—and it's key to long-term success.
