Why Choose Braces?
Are crooked teeth or bite issues affecting your daily life? You’re not alone. Unlike temporary solutions, braces offer a permanent way to achieve the straight, healthy smile you deserve. Using gentle pressure from metal brackets and elastic bands, braces can correct severe misalignment and bite issues that other treatments can’t address.
Beyond aesthetics, straight teeth contribute to better oral hygiene and long-term dental health. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing your risk of gum disease while preventing future complications like jaw pain and excessive wear on your teeth.

The Braces Process: Your Path to a Perfect Smile
Your journey to a straight, confident smile follows a carefully planned process. Here’s what you can expect at each step:
Initial consultation
During your first visit with Dr. Shin, you’ll discuss your smile goals and undergo a thorough orthodontic evaluation. This comprehensive consultation helps us understand your unique needs and create the right treatment approach.
Creating Your Custom Treatment Plan
We’ll gather detailed diagnostic records including digital X-rays, photographs, and a 3D scan of your teeth. These records allow us to design a precise treatment plan tailored to your specific orthodontic needs.
Starting Treatment
At this appointment, we’ll place your braces and provide detailed care instructions to ensure the best possible results. If needed, we’ll coordinate with other specialists for any necessary extractions before beginning treatment.
Regular Adjustments
You’ll visit us every 6-8 weeks for adjustments to guide your teeth into proper alignment. Treatment length varies based on your specific needs. Mild cases typically take 6-12 months, moderate cases 12-24 months, and more complex cases may require 24+ months.
Braces Removal
The exciting day arrives when we remove your braces and polish your teeth to reveal your beautiful new smile. We’ll take final records and fit you for retainers to maintain your results for years to come.
Types of Braces We Offer
Traditional Metal Braces
The most common type of braces, modern metal braces are smaller and more comfortable than ever before. Using stainless steel brackets and gentle pressure from elastic bands, these braces effectively treat complex dental problems while being cost-effective.
Ceramic Braces
Want a more discreet option? Ceramic braces work just like traditional braces but use tooth-colored ceramic material for the brackets. This classic style option helps you feel confident throughout treatment while still achieving excellent results.
Lingual Braces
For those seeking a truly hidden solution, incognito braces are placed behind your teeth. These customized brackets are completely invisible from the front, making them perfect for professionals and anyone wanting orthodontic care without visible brackets.
Prefer removable treatment? Clear aligners offer a virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth. Perfect for mild to moderate corrections, these custom aligners let you maintain good oral hygiene while achieving your desired position.

What Are The Benefits of Getting Braces?
Braces offer more than just an aesthetic enhancement; they provide a multitude of benefits that contribute to your overall dental health and confidence. Here’s why investing in braces is a decision that pays off in many ways:
Improved Dental Health
Braces correct misaligned teeth, which can help prevent oral health issues such as cavities and gum disease. Crooked or crowded teeth can create hard-to-reach areas where plaque and food particles accumulate, leading to dental problems. By aligning your teeth, braces make it easier to clean your teeth effectively, reducing the risk of oral health issues.
Enhanced Functionality
Properly aligned teeth improve your ability to bite, chew, and speak. Misaligned teeth can affect your bite, leading to discomfort or difficulty with everyday functions. Braces help correct these issues, enhancing your overall comfort and functionality.
Boosted Confidence
Long-Term Results
Investing in braces provides long-lasting results. Once your teeth are aligned, they typically remain in place, especially when supported by retainers, offering you a beautiful, functional smile for years to come.
