How do braces work?
Our braces for kids, teens and adults are bonded (fixed) to your teeth at the beginning of your orthodontic treatment and will remain there until your teeth have reached their ideal positions. Dental braces use a combination of brackets and wires that use constant, gentle pressure to straighten your teeth and improve your bite over time. During your free consultation, you’ll review our Arlington and Herndon braces options, choose the best one for you and learn how it will straighten your teeth, improve your oral health and boost your confidence!
How long do braces take?
While the average braces treatment time ranges from 18 – 24 months, your personal braces treatment plan length will depend on the complexity of your orthodontic case and the type of braces you choose.
Types of braces we offer in Arlington & Herndon
Traditional metal braces
Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces and are more comfortable than ever. Made of high-grade stainless steel, our metal braces in Arlington and Herndon straighten your teeth using metal brackets and archwires. With metal braces, you can add colored or clear elastics (rubber bands) for a more unique and colorful smile or a more discreet one. Kids love choosing unique braces colors to show their style with their elastics!
Clear braces
Clear braces, also called ceramic braces or invisible braces, are made of ceramic materials and are less visible on your teeth than metal braces. The main difference between clear braces vs. metal braces is the material used. Other than that, they work the same way and can fix most of the same issues. Because of their discreet nature, clear braces are popular with older teenagers and adult patients who would like an invisible braces option. While they are visually less prominent, our Arlington and Herndon clear braces near you require more attention to oral hygiene as they are larger and more brittle than their metal counterparts.
Clear aligners
Invisalign clear aligners use a series of removable and comfortable acrylic trays as a virtually invisible braces alternative for teeth straightening. Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in orthodontic treatment and continue brushing and flossing your teeth like normal. Our clear aligners in Arlington and Herndon, VA, are comfortable and have no metal to cause mouth abrasions during your orthodontic treatment. Invisalign is ideal for mild to moderate orthodontic cases, and treatment times are often shorter than traditional braces treatment, making them a popular option for teen and adult braces.
