Traditional Braces
Our traditional Braces in Sanger can help correct crowded teeth, close gaps, and align bites for teens and adults. If misaligned teeth cause chewing trouble or make you avoid smiling, braces offer a reliable, time-tested option. We’ll explain what braces do, how treatment works at Prewitt Dental, and why many local families choose this approach.
What Are Traditional Braces?
Traditional braces use small brackets bonded to each tooth and a thin archwire that guides teeth into position. They treat problems like crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, and certain bite asymmetries. Treatment moves teeth in controlled stages to preserve tooth and gum health. Braces require regular adjustments so progress stays on track. Results often provide long-term function and easier oral hygiene after alignment improves.

Traditional Braces in Sanger: What To Know
Braces tend to work faster for certain alignment problems than removable options. During the first visit, we assess teeth with X-rays and exams to build a plan that balances speed and stability. Expect regular visits every 4–8 weeks for adjustments. Most adults and teens can follow a routine life with minor changes to diet and oral care. If you weigh appearance concerns, metal brackets now are smaller and less noticeable than years ago.
We follow clear steps: diagnose, place brackets, adjust periodically, and retain. Braces do require patient cooperation — wearing rubber bands when recommended and avoiding very hard foods helps treatment move smoothly.
Five Key Benefits
- Predictable Results: Braces move teeth according to steady, measurable progress.
- Strong Bite Function: Proper alignment eases chewing and reduces wear on teeth.
- Works For Complex Cases: Braces handle rotations, large shifts, and severe crowding.
- Cost-Effective Over Time: For complex corrections, braces often reduce future restorative needs.
- Suitable For All Ages: Teens and adults both see consistent improvements.
Each benefit links back to careful monitoring and follow-up care at our Sanger office.
Common Questions About Braces
Q: How long will treatment take?
A: Typical treatment lasts 12–30 months, depending on complexity. We review your timeline after the initial exam.
Q: Will braces be painful?
A: You may feel pressure after adjustments. Over-the-counter pain relief and soft foods ease discomfort.
Q: Can adults get braces?
A: Yes. Adults receive the same guided tooth movement and often appreciate the reliable outcome.
Q: What happens after braces come off?
A: We provide retainers to keep teeth in place. Retention helps protect the investment made during active treatment.
Q: Do you accept new patients for orthodontic evaluation?
A: Yes. Schedule an evaluation via our contact page to start.
