Why Choose Braces?

Braces are one of the most effective and trusted orthodontic treatments available. Their modern design helps correct alignment and bite issues, providing long-lasting results.

Braces may help address:

• Crowded teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Overbites
• Underbites
• Crossbites
• Open bites
• Misaligned teeth
• Bite irregularities

When your teeth line up better, braces can also support better oral health while enhancing the appearance of your smile. At McCall Orthodontics, Dr. McCall builds individualized treatment plans so each patient receives care that matches their orthodontic needs exactly.

Beginning Your Braces Journey

After your treatment plan is set, you'll be scheduled for your first orthodontic appointment.

At that visit, Dr. McCall will place your orthodontic appliances and make sure everything fits correctly. Our team will provide clear instructions for caring for your braces. Most placement appointments last about 1 hour, and we aim to keep things as comfortable as possible throughout.

Types of Braces Available

Advances in orthodontic technology have made modern braces smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than ever before. At McCall Orthodontics, Dr. McCall may recommend different brace options depending on what you need.

1. Traditional Metal Braces

Metal braces are still a go-to, effective treatment choice. They work gradually, shifting teeth into proper alignment, and they can handle anything from mild issues to more complex orthodontic concerns.

Modern metal braces are smaller and more comfortable than past versions, so treatment can feel easier for patients of all ages.

2. Clear Braces

Clear braces give you a more discreet alternative to traditional metal braces. They're designed to blend in more naturally with your teeth, while still supporting reliable results.

3. Orthodontic Treatment for Children

Getting an early orthodontic evaluation can help identify potential issues before they escalate into bigger concerns. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first evaluation around age 7.

Early treatment can be beneficial in several ways:

• Guiding jaw development
• Creating space for permanent teeth
• Improving bite alignment
• Addressing crowding issues
• Supporting healthy oral growth

Parents may want to consider scheduling an evaluation if their child shows any of the following signs:

• Early or delayed loss of baby teeth
• Difficulty with chewing or biting
• Mouth breathing habits
• Thumb-sucking behaviors
• Crowded teeth
• Misaligned bites

Braces for Teens

Teen years are one of the most common times to start orthodontic treatment. Braces can help teens build healthy, attractive smiles that last. Today's braces are more comfortable and aesthetically appealing than previous generations.

Treatment length can vary based on:

• How complex the case is
• Individual tooth movement needs
• Growth and development
• How well the patient follows instructions

By following instructions and attending regular appointments, teens can help treatment progress efficiently.

Adult Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontic treatment isn't just for children and teenagers. More adults than ever are choosing braces to improve their oral health and enhance their confidence.

Adults often look for treatment because of

• Crowded teeth
• Spacing concerns
• Bite problems
• Teeth that shift over time
• Previous incomplete orthodontic treatment
• A desire for a healthier, more attractive smile

Straight teeth are easier to clean and maintain, which can support better long-term oral health.

Brushing and flossing with braces

Maintaining excellent oral hygiene is especially important during orthodontic treatment.

Brushing 

• Patients should brush:
• After every meal
• For at least two minutes
• With fluoride toothpaste
• Using a soft-bristle toothbrush

Taking extra time around brackets and wires helps remove food particles and plaque.

Flossing 

Daily flossing keeps gums healthier throughout treatment. Orthodontic floss threaders, or specialized floss, can make cleaning between teeth easier and more effective. Water flossers may also be helpful for certain patients.

Playing sports with braces

Athletes can still play sports even while wearing braces. For extra safety, Dr. McCall recommends a properly fitted mouthguard during athletic activities. Mouthguards help protect both your teeth and the orthodontic appliances from injury.

Our team can help you choose the right mouthguard that balances comfort and protection.

Affordable payment plans

At McCall Orthodontics, we believe high-quality orthodontic care should be accessible to everyone.

Since every smile is different, treatment costs vary based on individual needs. Our team will walk you through your treatment fees in detail and review affordable payment plans built to fit your budget.
