Traditional Metal Braces

Under the guidance of Dr. Robert Chase and our friendly team, you receive braces treatment in a comfortable, welcoming environment where your questions are always encouraged and your comfort is a priority from start to finish.

Why Traditional Braces Are a Smart Choice

Traditional metal braces remain one of the most effective ways to correct crowded, spaced, or misaligned teeth. They can be a great option for both teens and adults who want dependable results and are comfortable with a more classic approach to orthodontics.

At Friendly Smiles Center, we plan your treatment around your specific needs and smile goals, taking the time to explain what we see and what is possible before any work begins. Our goal is for you to feel informed, in control, and excited about your progress.

With traditional braces, you can benefit from:

Precise control over tooth movement for a wide range of orthodontic concerns
Predictable, time-tested results for both simple and complex cases
Continuous treatment that is always working, since braces are fixed in place
An option that does not depend on patient compliance with removable trays

What to Expect From Braces Treatment

Your braces experience begins with a thorough exam, digital imaging, and a conversation about your concerns and goals. Dr. Chase will review your bite, explain what he sees in clear, everyday language, and recommend whether braces are the right choice for you.

If you move forward, we will gently place the brackets on your teeth and connect them with a thin wire that guides your teeth into better alignment over time. You will visit our Mount Laurel office for regular checkups, where we will make small adjustments, monitor your progress, and answer any new questions you may have. Our team focuses on keeping you comfortable at every visit, with amenities and options to help ease anxiety so you can relax in the chair.

Traditional Braces FAQs

How do traditional metal braces work?

Braces use a system of brackets, wires, and gentle pressure to gradually move your teeth into better positions. The wire is adjusted at periodic visits, guiding your teeth a little at a time until your desired alignment is reached.

Who is a good candidate for braces?

Traditional braces can help many teens and adults with crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, or teeth that are out of position. During your consultation, Dr. Chase will evaluate your teeth and bite and discuss whether braces are the best option for your needs.

How long will I need to wear braces?

Treatment time varies from person to person, depending on how much movement is needed and how complex your bite is. At your initial visit, we will outline a general timeframe and update you as your treatment progresses.

Are braces painful?

You may feel some pressure or soreness after your braces are first placed and after periodic adjustments. This is a sign that your teeth are starting to move. Any discomfort is usually mild and temporary, and our team will share tips to help you stay comfortable.

Can I still eat my favorite foods with braces?

You can enjoy many of the foods you love, but some choices may need to be modified or avoided, such as very sticky or hard foods that could damage brackets or wires. We will give you clear, simple guidelines so eating with braces becomes second nature.

How often will I need appointments?

Most patients visit our office on a regular schedule for checkups and adjustments. At these appointments, we check your progress, make any needed changes to your braces, and answer questions about home care or comfort.

Will I need retainers after my braces come off?

After braces are removed, retainers are typically recommended to help keep your teeth in their new positions. We will discuss the type of retainer and wear schedule that make the most sense for your smile.
