Brackets are bonded to your teeth and are connected by a wire. The archwire helps to move teeth into the proper position with the help of elastics and ties the brackets together.

Your Missoula MT orthodontist will regularly check your progress and make adjustments as needed throughout your treatment, which typically lasts about 18 months. The length of your treatment will depend on your age and how severe your case is when you begin treatment.

Once you’re finished with braces, you’ll have a beautiful, straight smile! However, it’s important to remember to wear your retainer once your treatment is over to keep that new smile in place! If you aren’t wearing your retainer as directed by your Missoula MT orthodontist, you could experience orthodontic relapse; this is where your teeth move out of alignment or crowd again. Retainers usually need to be worn for about six months.

It’s vital that you continue to brush and floss your teeth with braces on, just as you would with your natural teeth. You also need to schedule regular cleanings and exams with your Missoula MT orthodontist every six months to keep your teeth and gums healthy and clean while you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment. 

To know which type of orthodontic treatment is right for you, schedule an appointment with your Missoula MT orthodontist and ask about them!
