Conventional orthodontics remains one of the most effective methods for correcting alignment and bite issues. Using brackets fixed to the teeth and connected by metal wires, this technique allows teeth to be moved progressively and precisely.
At Soins dentaires Stephan, we recommend traditional braces for cases requiring rigorous control of tooth movement, such as severe crowding, large gaps, or complex bite issues. Although less discreet than clear aligners, it offers unmatched effectiveness for complex cases and delivers optimal results, while remaining a reliable and widely used solution worldwide.
The process begins with a complete evaluation of your oral health and dental alignment. We take X-rays, photographs, and digital impressions to design a personalized treatment plan.
Braces are then placed by attaching brackets to each tooth and connecting them with a metal wire, which applies controlled pressure to gradually move the teeth into their ideal position.
Follow-up appointments, usually every 4 to 8 weeks, allow us to make adjustments and ensure proper progress. Treatment duration generally ranges from 12 to 24 months, depending on the complexity of the case and patient cooperation (hygiene, care, diet).
Conventional orthodontics offers maximum control over tooth movement, which is a major advantage for precise corrections. Unlike removable solutions, it works continuously, 24 hours a day, ensuring effective treatment.
Today’s braces are smaller and more comfortable, with discreet options such as ceramic brackets that blend with the natural color of teeth. This solution allows effective treatment for patients of all ages, including adolescents and adults requiring significant corrections.
