Why Choose Board-CertifiedTraditional Braces – Castle Rock, CO
A Tried-and-True Way of Aligning Teeth
It is important to remember that the quality of your orthodontic outcome has less to do with the “tool” that is used, but more on who is guiding your treatment and making decisions. That said, traditional, or metal braces have remained one of the best options for orthodontic treatment, as they continue to provide an unmatched blend of quality and affordability. Over the years, metal braces have evolved technologically to become more advanced with built in tip and torque for each individual tooth, and have become smaller, smoother, and more durable for increased comfort.

How Do Traditional Braces Work?
Traditional braces use metal brackets and wires to straighten teeth. After bonding a bracket to the front of each tooth, we thread a metal arch wire in between them. The wire naturally wants to maintain its shape, so it exerts a gentle pressure on the teeth to gradually shift them into an even alignment. Over the course of treatment, you’ll visit our office regularly so that Dr. Rejman can adjust and detail your braces as needed and ensure your treatment is progressing as planned.
Benefits of Traditional Braces
Misaligned teeth are more than just an aesthetic issue. They’re harder to keep clean, making it more likely for food debris, bacteria, and plaque to build up on your teeth and gums. This, in turn, increases the risk for cavities, gum disease, fractures, tooth loss, and other oral health problems. Braces shift your teeth into their proper positions, reducing the risk of such conditions.
As one of the most versatile orthodontic options, braces can correct a variety of alignment issues simultaneously, including crowding, gapped teeth, underbite, overbite, and rotated teeth. Braces are also ideal for children, teenagers, and adults alike. Of course, along with improving your oral health, Dr. Rejman is amazing at maximizing the esthetics of your smile, and every patient is individually treated to their unique facial and skeletal structure.
