Braces

Braces are considered a rite of passage for many young people, much like getting your driver’s license. Today, people of all ages are taking the opportunity to perfect their smile. For braces, traditional metal brackets and clear brackets are available. Many patients enjoy changing color bands at each appointment. Dr. Underwood will help you explore these options.

While orthodontics can solve many tooth alignment problems, successful treatment relies on good patient compliance. Wearing elastic bands consistently, keeping follow-up appointments for adjustments, and practicing outstanding home care can all help lead to a positive outcome. This commitment involves frequent preventive visits with your dentist. The Underwood Orthodontics team specializes in helping our orthodontic patients through this process so you can enjoy a gorgeous, healthy smile.

Orthodontics with braces involves teeth straightening and jaw alignment, combining beauty and function. Identifying potential problems as a child may allow for easier treatment, but it's never too late to discuss ways to enhance a smile!
