How Braces Improve Your Smile

Braces do far more than straighten crooked teeth. By gradually guiding teeth into their ideal positions, they correct overbites, underbites, crossbites and crowding — all of which can cause uneven wear, jaw pain and difficulty chewing if left untreated. A properly aligned bite also makes brushing and flossing easier, which lowers your risk of cavities and gum disease for the rest of your life.
At Lebanon Dental Care we offer modern fixed braces with smaller, more comfortable brackets, as well as removable orthodontic appliances for milder cases and growing children. Treatment typically takes 12 to 24 months, with short monthly adjustment visits. Most patients are surprised by how quickly they get used to wearing them and how visible the progress becomes within just a few months.
The confidence boost that follows is just as important as the clinical result. Patients tell us they smile more freely in photos, speak more openly in meetings and feel better about themselves day to day. After treatment we provide custom retainers so your new smile stays exactly where it should — for good.
The best results come from correct diagnosis, consistent appointments and wearing retainers after treatment. This protects the investment and keeps the teeth stable long after braces are removed.
