Braces in Balch Springs, TX
If your teeth don’t line up right, you’ll feel it every day. Biting. Brushing. Smiling. Braces solve that problem without shortcuts.
In Balch Springs, families choose Embrace Orthodontics when they want a straight answer and reliable results. We offer braces for kids, teens, and adults who need alignment correction, not just cosmetic changes.
What Braces Fix and Why It Matters
Braces fix more than crooked teeth. They adjust the way your bite fits, which affects how you eat, speak, and clean your teeth. Ignoring alignment problems can lead to grinding, jaw pain, and even cracked fillings.
We use braces to correct:
- Teeth that overlap
- Teeth that sit too far apart
- Overbites that push top teeth forward
- Underbites that push lower teeth out
- Crossbites where some teeth close outside the others
- Open bites where the front teeth don’t touch
Some of these cause long-term damage if untreated. Others make simple things like chewing harder than they should be.
Braces We Offer in Balch Springs
You don’t need options just for the sake of variety. You need what works. We offer three types of braces, all proven to handle real alignment cases.
Metal Braces
These are tough, dependable, and built to move teeth faster when needed. They work well for both kids and adults. We place them once and adjust over time. You’ll see consistent changes every few weeks.
Ceramic Braces
Clear brackets give a lower-profile appearance. Most adults prefer these when they want to straighten their teeth without drawing attention to their treatment.
What the Process Looks Like
Here’s what happens when you get braces with us.
We take digital scans instead of impressions. This gives us the full picture of your bite and jaw position. Based on this, we map out the movement needed to fix your teeth.
The brackets go on during one visit. We secure the wire and show you how to brush, floss, and manage the first few days of pressure.
Every month or two, you return for adjustments. These appointments keep the process moving and help us spot any small issues early.
When your teeth are in the right place, we remove the braces and fit you for a retainer. Wearing this helps keep your new alignment locked in.
Braces Work for Every Age Group
Kids Who Need a Head Start
We offer early braces if a child’s bite is developing unevenly. Catching the problem early can save time and avoid more invasive treatment later.
Teens Who Want Strong Results
Braces during the teenage years line up with jaw growth and help fix both tooth position and bite function. This is the most common time to start treatment.
Adults Who Want to Stop the Shift
Many adults come in after noticing their teeth moved over the years. Some never had braces. Others did, but didn’t wear a retainer. Braces work for adults too, especially when they want a fix that holds up over time.
Living with Braces in Balch Springs
Most patients adjust within a few days. You’ll feel pressure after appointments, but it goes away fast. The key is maintaining a routine and avoiding anything that can damage the brackets.
Here’s what helps:
- Stick to soft foods during the first week
- Skip gum, nuts, popcorn, and hard candy
- Brush after every meal
- Use floss threaders or a water flosser
- Call us if something breaks or feels off
We provide a braces care kit and clear instructions so you’re never guessing.
