Whether you are an adult needing braces yourself or are interested in braces for your child Nyberg Orthodontics offers plenty of braces options to ensure a treatment that not only gives you a healthier smile but a treatment option that fits your needs and lifestyle.

Nowadays there are many options for adult braces and braces for children. Metal braces are one of the most common methods for correcting the alignment of the teeth, particularly for children. Today, metal braces are flatter, smaller, and more comfortable than in the past, giving our patients a more comfortable and discreet orthodontic treatment. For adults looking for an unobtrusive way to improve their smile, we offer several invisible braces options, including Invisalign.

 How do braces work?

Braces work by applying constant yet gentle pressure to the teeth. Your orthodontist may need to tighten the archwire at each appointment. This guides your teeth to their proper positions in your smile, helping to optimize your oral function and appearance. Because of the added pressure, you may experience some discomfort when your braces are first put on or after adjustment appointments. The teeth may also feel slightly loose; this is temporary and will go away when the teeth have finished moving.
