Braces

The right approach starts with understanding.

Braces use brackets and wires to guide tooth movement. At Peralta Orthodontics, metal and clear ceramic options are part of a treatment plan tailored to your teeth and bite.

Your consultation is a chance to discuss what you’d like to change, compare appropriate options, and understand the appointments and daily care involved.

A plan made for you

Two ways to wear your braces.

01

Metal braces

Stainless steel brackets and a connecting wire provide a fixed approach to treatment. Ask about available color choices and how the appliance will work for you.

02

Clear ceramic braces

Tooth-colored ceramic brackets offer a less noticeable appearance. Dr. Peralta can explain their suitability and the care they need.

The everyday details

A little care, every day.

Treatment continues between appointments. Your team will explain how to look after your teeth and appliance.

01

Keep things clean

Brush carefully around brackets and wires, and follow your team’s guidance for cleaning between teeth.

02

Adjust your routine

Discuss foods to avoid, sports protection, and what to do if a bracket or wire needs attention.

03

Plan for aftercare

Retainers help maintain tooth positions after active treatment. Your team will explain your individual wear schedule.

Your questions, welcomed

A little
more clarity.

Are braces only for children and teens?

No. The practice also offers orthodontic care for adults. An examination helps determine the appropriate options for your teeth, bite, and oral health.

How long will I wear braces?

The timeline depends on your treatment needs. Ask for an individual estimate at your consultation and discuss how appointments and home care fit into the plan.

Can I choose clear braces?

Share your preference with Dr. Peralta. He will explain whether ceramic braces are appropriate for your treatment and how they compare with other options.
