Goings Orthodontics is your Loveland braces expert
At Goings Orthodontics, we are committed to creating beautiful new smiles for patients of all ages in Loveland and the surrounding communities. As your trusted Loveland braces expert, our team is dedicated to providing you with the highest quality of orthodontic care. We offer a variety of orthodontic options, including traditional metal braces and ceramic braces, both of which are effective tools for achieving optimal tooth and jaw alignment.
Braces treatment with your local braces expert
Before we begin your braces treatment, our team will collect digital x-rays, photos, and a model of your mouth. This information is used to create a customized treatment plan based on your particular orthodontic needs. The plan will include details about the movements each tooth needs to make to achieve optimal positioning and how your brackets will be placed.
Once the brackets are attached, a wire is inserted to provide customized pressure on all the teeth that need to be moved. Through a process called remodeling, the teeth are slowly moved into the correct position. Bends in the wire encourage specific and precise movements of the teeth and minor changes in the bone that surrounds the roots of the teeth are involved in this process. Cells called osteoblasts and osteoclasts form around the root of a tooth when braces put pressure on it. This, combined with the wire, creates negative pressure on one side of the tooth, where bone will be removed. On the other side of the tooth, the bone is reformed.
To prevent natural drifting of teeth over time, regular use of a retainer is required once your braces are removed.
What your Loveland braces expert offers
All of our treatment options are excellent and can correct a variety of oral issues, from simple to complex. Traditional metal braces often work faster at closing gaps and aligning teeth than other treatments, potentially shortening your overall treatment time. They also represent a cost-effective option for patients on a budget. Today's metal braces are stronger, more durable, and more affordable than ever, which is why they are still the top orthodontic treatment year after year.
Metal Braces
Tried-and-true traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces used. Constructed with high-grade stainless steel, they work to straighten your teeth using metal brackets and archwires. The braces are more comfortable and fun than ever, and you have the option of choosing colored elastics to add a personal touch to your treatment. For a more subtle approach, clear or tooth-colored elastics are also available.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces work the same way metal braces do, but the brackets are made with a clear ceramic material instead. They are another great option for straightening your teeth and are more often used on the upper teeth than the lower teeth. They are very popular with our older teen and adult patients because they are a discrete treatment option. However, since the brackets tend to be larger and more brittle than their metal counterparts, we usually don't recommend them for younger patients.
