Braces In Denver, CO

The Trusted Way To Straighten Your Smile

At Eberle Orthodontics, we believe you can straighten your smile at any age with braces. They not only transform your smile into an aesthetically pleasing one, but also help with several orthodontic issues like misalignment, jaw bite and crooked/crowded teeth. Additionally, they can play a pivotal role in maintaining optimal oral hygiene, speech development or even speaking and chewing!

Types Of Braces In Denver, Colorado

Thanks to cutting-edge innovations in dental technology, today’s braces offer next level comfort, a sleeker design and are more efficient than ever before. The recent advancements have transformed these appliances into a more discreet and aesthetically pleasing option, ensuring you have a positive orthodontic experience while enhancing your smile. Here at Eberle Orthodontics, we offer two styles of appliances: traditional metal and clear/ceramic options.

Traditional Metal Braces

While metal braces represent the most traditional orthodontic option, their prevalence is rooted in their unparalleled effectiveness. Recognized as the most common choice, these tried-and-true appliances have withstood the test of time due to their proven ability to deliver exceptional results in correcting various orthodontic issues. Their widespread use attests to the reliability and success of this time-tested approach in achieving optimal dental alignment.

Benefits Of Traditional Braces

While they may lack the aesthetic subtlety of newer alternatives, their durability and affordability make them a popular choice if you are looking for a reliable orthodontic treatment. Advances in design and materials have also made them smaller, more comfortable and visually appealing compared to earlier versions. We guarantee the temporary look is worth the payout for the results!

Why You May Need Braces

Whether you are looking to straighten your smile or improve your oral health, there are many benefits to braces treatment. Here are a few reasons you may want to consider them:

When there isn’t enough space in your jaw for teeth to align accordingly, they may become crowded or crooked. Properly spaced out teeth will make it easier for you to brush and floss, leading to better health!

Conditions such as temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ) or other jaw alignment issues may benefit from orthodontic treatment to improve overall oral function and reduce discomfort.

A misaligned bite can lead to problems with chewing, speaking and overall oral health. When your bite is corrected, you will feel less pain in your jaw and you may even find it reduces headaches.

Misaligned teeth or jaw issues can contribute to difficulty with speech and problems with chewing your food. Dr. Eberle will evaluate your situation and prescribe the right treatment for you to effectively resolve these issues.

Ceramic/Clear Braces

If you want the trustworthiness and efficiency of traditional braces while maintaining a conspicuous look, then ceramic or clear braces may be the perfect fit for you! The brackets are made of clear porcelain material that blend in with your natural teeth, making them nearly invisible. Like metal ones, ceramic braces consist of small brackets that are bonded to the front surface of each tooth. The brackets hold the archwire in place, guiding the movement of the teeth.

Benefits Of Ceramic Braces

One of the main advantages of ceramic braces is their cosmetic appeal. The clear or tooth-colored brackets and wires make them less noticeable. They are also effective in addressing various orthodontic issues, including misaligned teeth and bite problems.

Please note that while this ceramic option is designed to be durable, they may be more prone to breakage or staining compared to metal ones. They can also be more expensive and require proper oral hygiene to prevent staining.

Keeping Your Braces Clean

Caring for your new appliance is crucial to ensure the success of your orthodontic treatment and maintain good oral health. Here are some tips to help you care for them:

Use a soft-bristle toothbrush and brush your teeth after every meal and before bedtime. Pay special attention to brushing around the brackets and wires.

Flossing can be challenging, but it’s essential. Use a floss threader or a special orthodontic floss to get between the wires and brackets. Water flossers can also be helpful in removing debris from hard-to-reach areas.

Next time you go to the movie theater, you’ll unfortunately have to skip that big bag of crunchy popcorn! Chewy, sticky and hard foods are the perfect recipe for broken brackets and wires.

Make sure you are following through with your regularly scheduled appointments with Dr. Eberle and your dentist for routine dental cleanings.
