Traditional Orthodontics

At Willow Dental Care Langley, we are strong believers in the idea that true beauty comes from within, but when it comes to your unique smile, we understand that feeling confident in your smile is priceless. If you are living with a severely misaligned jaw, crooked teeth, or incorrect spacing between your teeth, your dentist may recommend traditional braces to most effectively help you achieve the smile of your dreams.  

How Traditional Metal Braces Work 

Orthodontic treatments are always evolving, but in complex cases, our dedicated Langley dentists will often turn to traditional solutions like metal braces to provide the most effective and efficient results. Metal braces consist of brackets that are cemented to your teeth, which are linked together with metal wires that are tightened every few weeks to gradually shift your teeth into place. This method is very successful in treating severe cases of crooked teeth and misaligned jaw bones. 

When to Consider Traditional Orthodontics

If your permanent teeth are extremely misaligned, or you have a severe underbite or overbite, your dentist will determine if traditional orthodontic braces will prove to be more suitable than Invisalign clear aligners. Our compassionate dental team will share plenty of tips and tricks to master the art of living with metal braces. Though braces can feel bulky and tough to get used to, the final results are always worth the investment in your naturally stunning smile.
