Conventional Braces in San Diego

Are you looking for a great office to get braces in San Diego? You’ve come to the right place! We have our own orthodontic specialist along with our highly trained team to give you the best orthodontic treatment your teen needs

Braces are some of the most common fixed appliances for teens. They consist of bands, brackets and/or wires. They are a lot more comfortable and are much smaller and flatter than in braces used in the past.

Braces are traditionally made of only the highest quality stainless steel or titanium. Traditional braces create a constant pressure on your teeth which then helps to move the teeth into their correct position.

Our orthodontist will regularly check the braces for your teen and may tighten the wire. It is possible for the patient to notice their teeth feeling a little loose. That is completely normal, that feeling will go away once the teeth are done  moving. Click here if you’re having discomfort or an issue with your braces.

Conventional metal braces are the most popular and cost-effective of orthodontic treatment, it also does take less time. You can also change up your braces by choosing colorful elastics for the brackets, or other kinds of modifications.
