Braces in Conyers, GA

Thanks to state-of-the-art technologies and advances in the orthodontic industry, traditional metal braces are more comfortable and affordable than ever. MINT dentistry in Conyers, GA performs several orthodontic options to help you get a beautiful smile. Conventional braces give you unique customizations that aren't available with other treatments. Many of our patients enjoy metal braces since it gives them a chance to share their personality with colored elastic bands. This is an especially fun feature for younger patients who can wear seasonal colors or show their support for their favorite sports team. To learn more about orthodontic treatments with metal braces, schedule a consultation with our team of board-certified professionals at MINT dentistry in Conyers, GA.

Traditional metal braces can be a great option for both adults and children. Our conventional braces are made of strong, stainless steel archwires threaded through brackets, which are strategically placed to move your teeth gently into the desired position. They are frequently an ideal treatment for patients with a misaligned jaw, teeth that are crowded or have gaps, or an overbite or underbite. MINT dentistry also uses high-quality elastic bands that are simple to apply and don't snap easily. At your consultation, we will discuss your options and help you select the approach that fits your goals.

Our MINT dentistry professional will create a custom treatment plan to match your needs based on your exam results. On the day of your appointment, we'll ask you to sit in one of our massaging treatment chairs in a comfortable procedure room. After slipping on a pair of stylish MINT sunglasses and a set of Beats headphones, your enamel will be prepared and cleaned before we put on your metal braces. Once we have applied the bonding agent to your teeth, the metal brackets will be carefully placed. When the brackets are set in place, we can thread the archwire through. You will then be able to pick your color or colors for your elastic bands. The tiny bands make sure the wire stays attached to the brackets. Generally, the process is quick and patients usually feel minimal discomfort. You will need to make appointments at our Conyers, GA practice every 4 – 6 weeks for adjustments and progress checks.

Cleaning and flossing your teeth will be a little harder with braces. However, good oral hygiene is important to your orthodontic treatment. Before you leave with your new braces, we will demonstrate how to clean your teeth and share our tips. As a general rule, we recommend that you floss and brush your teeth after every meal. Keeping all your check-up appointments, as well as twice-yearly cleanings, can also help to ensure optimal results. On average, most patients wear braces for a couple of years, but your treatment time will ultimately depend on how much your teeth need to move. Once your treatment is over, we will take your braces off and switch you to a retainer. A MINT dentistry professional will help you choose the correct retainer for your new smile.

Metal braces are typically more affordable than other orthodontic treatments. During your first appointment at MINT dentistry, your dentist will go over your options and costs to help you select the method that matches your needs, goals, and budget. If you have insurance, our financial coordinator will contact your insurance to understand your coverage and determine your out-of-pocket costs. If you don't have insurance, our Conyers, GA office accepts many payment methods, and our team can give you information on medical financing.

Recent years have brought great advances in dental and orthodontic care for patients of all ages. However, traditional metal braces remain one of our most popular treatments at MINT dentistry.
