Braces

Straight teeth and well-aligned jaws are required for a healthy, functional, and appealing grin. A good bite with straight teeth not only looks attractive but also benefits dental health and well-being.

Braces are orthodontic appliances that correct crooked, gapped, or crowded teeth, overbites or underbites, and inappropriate jaw connections. Today, because of advancements in orthodontic technology and treatment techniques, a wide range of braces is accessible. These options are significantly less bulky, far less conspicuous, and far more comfortable than earlier generations of braces, while yet providing effective and efficient care.

Several factors influence the type of braces a dentist prescribes for a patient’s situation, including:

  • The seriousness of the bite issues
  • The degree to which the teeth are crowded or spaced apart
  • If extractions are necessary
  • The relationship between the upper and lower jaws, as well as whether or not surgery is required
  • The time period for which the brace has to be worn to yield a positive outcome
  • If any further appliances are required to support orthodontic correction, they will be provided.
  • The cosmetic requirement of the patient

Meta Braces

Metal braces are still the most prevalent form of braces worn today. These braces made of high-grade stainless steel, are substantially smaller and have a lower profile than their forerunners from years ago. Each orthodontic bracket, also known as a brace, is individually glued to the front of each tooth. Metal braces enable tooth movement that is both efficient and precise.

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces are a fantastic alternative to traditional metal brackets when conventional braces provide the best approach to treatment but a more cosmetic appearance is sought. Ceramic braces, often known as clear braces, mix in with the natural color of your teeth, making your orthodontic appliances less noticeable to others. They act in much the same way as metal braces, despite being significantly less noticeable.

Lingual Braces

Metal braces are now available that can be placed on the “tongue side” or lingual of each tooth, effectively making them invisible to the outside world. These braces function similarly to metal or ceramic braces fastened to the front of the teeth, but because of their location, they can be more unpleasant and difficult to maintain clean.

Orthodontic Aligners

A customized series of removable transparent aligners that progressively moves the teeth into their ideal positions is one of the most modern choices in orthodontic treatment that has created a more discreet, convenient, and comfortable manner of care.

This dentistry is wonderful. Not only do they offer the fastest and easiest experience for dentist examinations with two children at the same time with separate technicians. They offer very friendly service. My wife and I cannot recommend them enough.

This is by far the best dentist I have ever gone to in my life. I have had a few over the years with moves and insurance changes. He is great and the staff is just as wonderful to interact with. Each of my visits, for the first time in my life, I actually look forward to going to the dentist. Thank you for your excellent customer service. Truly, recommending you to all of my family and friends.

I had a cavity filled. The staff was friendly, efficient and professional, and the procedure was quick and painless. The was my first visit to the practice after over 15 years with another dentist and I am glad that I made the change.

Best dental experience I've ever had. Dr. Copeland does great work and is honest. I cannot stress enough how much that meant to me after the string of poor experiences I've had at other offices. And the hygienist Cindy provided the most thorough cleaning I've ever had. They aren't even in my dental network but well worth the out-of-pocket expense. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

As a long time patient of Dr. Grise' she has always provided excellent care. Not only is she outstanding at what she does she also manages to treat her patients with respect and a personal touch that makes you feel like family. While the support staff and her assistant are new to me I was impressed with their professionalism as well as efficiency. Great job and team work from all. Thank you!

I would give Dr. Copeland, Mickey, and Marisela (and the rest of the staff) 10 stars if I could. Im extremely scared of the dentist because of a past experience and they made everything so easy and extremely comfortable. They couldn’t have been nicer and more gentle and it was the best experience I’ve ever had at a dentist before.
