How Braces Works
At Central Park West Orthodontics, braces do more than just improve the look of your smile—they support your overall oral health. Misaligned teeth can lead to jaw pain, difficulty chewing, and even long-term bite issues. Overcrowding makes it harder to clean between teeth, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
Braces gently guide your teeth into proper alignment over time, helping to create a healthier bite, improved function, and a confident smile that lasts.
Enjoy Your Visit. Love Your Smile.
Hello Confidence, Goodbye Misalignment!
Metal braces are the most prevalent orthodontic option, traditionally involving bands wrapped around teeth and cemented in place. Technological advancements have refined the process, replacing bands with small brackets cemented to teeth for a more discreet appearance and reduced risk of cavities. Ideal for straightening and addressing overcrowding due to their rigidity, traditional metal braces offer precise control for a gradual adjustment, resulting in a perfectly spaced, model smile for you or your child.
