Braces in Santa Ana
Bring even the most rebellious of teeth into line at Santa Ana Magic Smile with traditional braces. Work with our orthodontic expert to build a treatment plan that will result in a healthier, better-looking smile.
What Are Braces?
Traditional braces are dental appliances attached directly to the teeth to gradually pull them into shape. We intermittently tighten these brackets, further adjusting your teeth until they are perfect, straight, and aligned.
While many places only offer Invisalign now, we know that some patients simply need traditional braces. Severe alignment issues only respond to traditional orthodontic methods. That is why we still offer braces, ensuring all patients who need treatment have a suitable option at our practice.
The Advantages of Traditional Braces
- Consistent, reliable results
- Works with even severe alignment issues
- Can manage complex cases
- No risk of losing them or not wearing them enough
How to Get Braces
Consultation
We fully evaluate each case before recommending orthodontic treatment. In some cases, you can have either Invisalign or traditional braces. In others, only traditional braces can deliver the results you need.
Brackets Placement
We attach brackets to each tooth individually, which are connected with wires.
Tightening
Patients return to our office every 4 to 6 weeks for use to tighten their braces. This allows them to continue moving your teeth into position.
Dental Emergency? We got you covered.
We are open 5 days a week, including Saturday and evening appointments. Same Day appointments available.
Braces FAQs
How long do braces take?
The duration of treatment with braces can vary notably, ranging from 6 to 36 months. Complex cases will take longer, while simple cases may be complete before even a year has passed.
Are braces painful?
Braces have a bad reputation for being painful or uncomfortable. Any orthodontic treatment will involve some degree of discomfort. Patients usually report feeling discomfort after each tightening session. However, this sensation improves after a few days.
How much do braces cost?
Braces can prove a more affordable option in some cases, but the cost can still vary. We will let you know what price to expect after the evaluation during the consult. This allows us to provide an accurate quote that lines up with your treatment needs. Also, many dental insurance plans provide some coverage for braces, especially for kids and teens.
