Braces in Detroit

Novi, Michigan

Those will crooked teeth often think about seeing a dentist to straighten them. Without fairly straight teeth many people feel insecure and embarrassed about their smile. In our society, a smile is flawless when it is not only white and bright, but when it is straight and has little to no gaps, crookedness, and so on. However, not everyone is blessed with straight teeth from birth. Many times teeth will grow in crooked for various reasons. Braces are the standard means of fixing crooked or misaligned teeth. At our Detroit-area office, we use braces to treat all types of patients, from adults to young teens and even children.

Functional Orthodontics

Functional orthodontics involves the use of braces to straighten the teeth in order to correct any imbalance in the bite while also achieving a great aesthetic result. Functional orthodontics can also be used to treat things such as teeth crowding. Most LVI dentists like Dr. Serra, who practice functional orthodontics, will use braces to realign the teeth into a more natural position whenever possible instead of opting to pull the teeth.

Types of Braces

There are a variety of different types of braces out there. At our Novi dental office, Dr. Serra will work with you to decide which type of brace is best for you and your dental condition.

Clear Braces

One of the most popular choices in braces right now is to opt for invisible or clear braces instead of traditional metal braces. You can read more about invisible braces here.

Traditional Braces

When it comes to braces, traditional braces are a tried and try solution. Wires, brackets, and sometimes rubber bands all work together to gradually move the teeth and bone into proper alignment. Some patients present with orthodontic problems that Invisalign just can’t correct and in these cases, we still use traditional braces.
