Types of Braces

There are several types of braces available on the market today, each with its own unique set of benefits. Here are some of the most popular types of braces:

Metal braces. Metal braces are the most traditional type of braces. They are composed of high-grade stainless steel or titanium alloys and are very strong and durable.

Ceramic braces. Ceramic braces are made of clear or tooth-colored materials and are less visible than metal braces.

Clear aligners. Clear aligners are clear, plastic trays that gradually move teeth into proper alignment. They are virtually invisible and can be removed for eating, drinking, and brushing.

Benefits of Braces

In addition to the benefits we’ve already mentioned, there are a number of other reasons why you may want to consider braces. Here are some of the top benefits of braces:

A straighter smile. This is the most obvious benefit of braces, but it’s also one of the most important. A straighter smile can boost your self-confidence and help you feel good about yourself.

Improved oral health. As we mentioned, braces can improve your oral health by making it easier to keep your teeth clean. This can lead to a decrease in the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.

Correct alignment of the jaw. As we mentioned, crooked teeth can cause the jaw to misalign. Braces can help correct this problem and relieve the pain and discomfort that are often associated with it.

Are Braces Painful?

Braces are not usually painful, but you may experience some discomfort when your braces are first placed on your teeth. This is because your teeth and gums will need time to adjust to the presence of the braces. You may also experience some discomfort when your braces are adjusted. If you do experience pain, you can take over-the-counter pain medication, such as ibuprofen, to help relieve the discomfort.

"I’ve been going to Dental Masters of Alexandria for years and a patient of Dr. Laviola since he started practicing here. He’s very personable, knowledgeable, takes time to explain procedures (I’ve had quite a few!) and is just an amazing dentist. The entire staff is wonderful, always helpful and friendly. Highly recommend!"

Aimee P.

"I have been a patient of Dr. Laviola's for several years now, and this is the best dental practice I have ever been to. Dr. Laviola and the whole team takes extraordinary care to make sure you are always comfortable throughout any cleaning and procedure, both major and minor (I have had both). The entire support team is also great."

Brett E.

"Dr. Laviola explained everything down to the last detail ..Soon after I was getting prepared for a life-changing event with dental implants. The surgery was so simple ..If you follow all instructions on medications there is little to no pain. The dental surgeon is amazing ..Everything from start to finish was done with perfection."
