Braces have changed significantly over the years. At Bala Smiles Orthodontics in Austin, TX, we are committed to providing the highest quality orthodontic care for children, teens, and adults, and we believe that utilizing state‑of‑the‑art braces technology allows us to do so as effectively and efficiently as possible.
What Are Braces?
In orthodontic treatment with braces, small brackets are attached to the individual teeth and connected by a thin wire, which gently guides the teeth into their desired positions over time. In some cases, patients also wear rubber bands between the upper and lower braces to help correct bite issues and improve how the teeth fit together.
Benefits of Braces at Bala Smiles:
- Broad, Bold Smiles – Our brackets and wires work together to maximize the width of your arches, giving you a broad, full smile that looks natural and confident.
- Enhanced Esthetics – Braces are carefully positioned to highlight the natural curve of your smile, rather than flatten it, creating a more youthful and attractive overall appearance.
- Shorter Treatment Times – The precise interaction between our modern braces and wires helps teeth move more efficiently and predictably, so your time in braces can be as short as possible.
- Fewer Appointments – We know life in Austin is busy. Our treatment philosophy emphasizes efficiency, so you only come in for visits when they are truly needed.
- Reduced Need for Tooth Extractions – Advanced braces technology allows us to correct even significant crowding in many cases while rarely needing to remove permanent teeth.
- Increased Comfort – Our low‑profile braces use gentle forces and rounded edges to improve comfort and reduce irritation to your lips and cheeks.
- Clear Alternative – For patients who prefer a more discreet look, we also offer clear braces as an esthetic alternative to traditional metal brackets, providing effective treatment with a more subtle appearance.
