What Types of Braces Are Available?
We offer several braces options to meet different treatment needs, preferences, and lifestyles.
Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces remain one of the most effective orthodontic solutions available. They are durable, reliable, and well-suited for treating mild to complex alignment issues. Metal braces are commonly used for children, teens, and adults.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces function like metal braces but use tooth-colored brackets that blend more naturally with your smile. They are a popular option for teens and adults seeking a more discreet orthodontic solution.
LightForce 3D Printed Braces
LightForce braces are fully customized using advanced 3D printing technology. Each bracket is designed specifically for your teeth, allowing for precise tooth movement and efficient treatment planning.
Lingual or Invisible Braces
Lingual braces are placed on the inside surfaces of the teeth, making them virtually invisible from the outside. This option is ideal for patients who want orthodontic treatment that remains hidden during daily activities.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligner therapy uses a series of removable, clear aligners to gradually straighten teeth. Dr. Stadiem has advanced training in aligner therapy and carefully evaluates whether clear aligners are the right solution for each patient.
What Dental Problems Can Braces Correct?
Braces are designed to correct a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including:
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Bite alignment issues
- Jaw positioning concerns
- Long-term oral health and function challenges
Proper alignment improves both the appearance of your smile and the health of your teeth and gums.
Can Braces Fix Overbites, Underbites, or Crossbites?
Yes, braces are commonly used to correct bite issues such as overbites, underbites, and crossbites. These conditions occur when the upper and lower teeth do not align properly.
Braces guide teeth and jaw positioning over time, improving bite function and balance. Early orthodontic evaluations are especially important, as treating bite concerns at the right stage of development can lead to more efficient outcomes. In certain cases, orthognathic surgery may be part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
How Often Will I Need Orthodontic Visits for Braces?
Most patients with braces visit the orthodontist approximately every six to eight weeks. These appointments allow your orthodontist to monitor progress, make adjustments, and ensure treatment is staying on track.
Consistent visits are essential for successful results, and our flexible scheduling options help make appointments easy to manage for busy families.
How Soon Will I Start Seeing Results From Braces?
Many patients begin noticing improvements within the first few months of braces treatment. The timeline varies depending on factors such as:
- The type of braces used
- The complexity of alignment issues
- Individual response to treatment
Every treatment plan is customized to achieve the best possible outcome as efficiently as possible.
Life With Braces
How Do I Properly Clean My Teeth With Braces?
Good oral hygiene is especially important while wearing braces. Patients should:
- Brush after every meal using a soft-bristled toothbrush
- Floss daily with orthodontic flossers or threaders
- Use recommended orthodontic cleaning tools
- Continue routine dental cleanings with their general dentist
What Foods Should I Avoid While Wearing Braces?
Certain foods can damage brackets and wires. Patients are typically advised to avoid:
- Hard foods such as ice, nuts, and hard candy
- Sticky foods like caramel or gum
- Chewy or crunchy foods that can stress braces
Simple adjustments during meals help protect braces throughout treatment.
Can I Play Sports or Instruments With Braces?
Yes, most patients can continue sports and musical activities while wearing braces. Mouthguards are recommended for contact sports, and musicians may experience a short adjustment period when playing instruments. Our team provides guidance to support daily activities during treatment.
What Should I Do If a Bracket or Wire Breaks?
Bracket or wire issues can occasionally occur due to normal wear or food choices. If this happens:
- Avoid adjusting the braces yourself
- Use orthodontic wax if irritation occurs
- Contact our office for instructions or to schedule a repair visit
We provide emergency orthodontic care to address issues promptly and keep treatment progressing smoothly.
How Much Do Braces Cost in Cincinnati, OH?
The cost of braces varies based on several factors, including:
