An ideal option for both adults and children can be traditional metal braces. MINT dentistry uses braces made of high-grade, stainless steel archwires attached to brackets that are carefully set to move your teeth gently into optimal position. They are often a great treatment for individuals with dental malocclusion, gapped or crowded teeth, or an overbite or underbite. MINT dentistry also utilizes top-quality elastic bands that are simple to apply and don't snap easily. During your initial consultation, your team will discuss your options, then help you pick the method that best fits your needs and goals.

An orthodontic plan for treatment is developed based on your exam results by our professional dental team at MINT. To begin your appointment, you will be asked to settle into one of our massaging treatment chairs in a comfortable procedure room. After putting on a set of our Beats headphones and a pair of our MINT sunglasses, your enamel will be cleaned and dried before we put on your braces. Once we're finished applying the bonding agent to your teeth, your brackets will be placed on each tooth. When the brackets are all in place and set, we can put the archwire through the brackets. You will be asked to select your desired color or colors for your elastic bands. The small bands attach the wire to the brackets. Generally, the process takes a short time and patients often experience no pain. You will need to return to our Kennesaw, GA office every 4 – 6 weeks for checkups and adjustments.

Brushing your teeth and flossing might be a little harder when you are wearing braces. However, good oral hygiene is important to your orthodontic treatment.

Our team encourages you to brush and floss after every meal. Attending all your follow-up appointments, as well as twice-yearly cleanings will help to give you optimal results. Usually, patients need to wear braces for a couple of years, but your treatment time will depend on how much your teeth need to move. After your teeth are aligned, your team will take your braces off and move you into a retainer. A MINT dentistry professional will help you pick the correct retainer for your needs.
