5 Tips for Going Back to School with Braces

Your Memphis Braces Treatment Journey

Our process begins with gathering digital x-rays, photographs, and a mouth model before fitting your braces.

Dr. Kyle Fagala will analyze this information to develop a tailored treatment plan that addresses your specific orthodontic needs, determining the precise placement of your brackets and the necessary tooth movements for ideal alignment.

Once brackets are in place, a wire is threaded through them to exert tailored pressure on the teeth that need adjustment. This pressure, aided by the wire's bends, prompts exact tooth movements through remodeling - a process that slightly alters the bone around tooth roots. Braces pressure activates osteoblasts and osteoclasts around the tooth's root, facilitating bone removal on one side and formation on the other, gradually shifting teeth to their proper positions.

To maintain these new positions, constant pressure is essential; otherwise, teeth may revert to their original placements. Using a retainer regularly post-treatment helps prevent this shift, preserving your new smile.

Metal Braces

Traditional metal braces, a cost-effective choice for those on a budget, often expedite the closing of gaps and teeth alignment, potentially reducing treatment duration.

Modern braces are more comfortable and customizable, with options for colored or clear elastics to suit your style.

Ceramic Braces

Similar in function to metal braces, ceramic (clear) braces offer the aesthetic benefit of clear ceramic brackets. They're especially favored by our adult and older teen patients for their discreet nature, though they're generally recommended for upper front teeth due to their size and fragility.
