Traditional Braces
Metal Braces A Trusted Orthodontic Solution
/
Traditional metal braces use metal wires and brackets to gently guide a patient's teeth into proper alignment. Though orthodontic alternatives like ceramic braces, Invisalign®, and other brands of clear aligners have emerged, traditional braces remain a trusted option that can correct even the most extreme misalignment.
Benefits of Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatments like metal braces offer many benefits, such as:
Better Oral Health
Misaligned, overlapping, or overcrowded teeth can be difficult to brush and floss. By straightening the teeth, you can brush and floss more effectively and better care for your oral health.
Enhanced Appearance
Crooked, gapped, or misaligned teeth can be embarrassing. Our skilled orthodontists can help straighten your teeth with traditional braces and enhance the appearance of your smile.
Prevent or Ease Pain
A misaligned bite can cause pain and lead to issues such as temporomandibular joint disorder. By correcting the misalignment, you can ease and even prevent pain and headaches.

Orthodontic Alternatives
Our offices in Beaver Falls and Western PA offer several alternatives to traditional metal braces. These alternatives include:
Invisalign
This method of orthodontics uses a series of clear aligners instead of metal wires and brackets. Aligner systems are best for mild-to-moderate orthodontic issues and for patients who can commit to wearing the aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day.
Clear Braces
Clear braces are much like metal braces. However, instead of metal wires and brackets, clear ceramic brackets and tooth-colored wires are used. Like metal braces, clear braces can correct mild-to-complex alignment issues.

My son Jacob had a wonderful experience here on Friday. We had to switch orthodontists due to moving and I’m excited to have found Dr. Karski! She is so knowledgeable and friendly. As a dental hygienist I am very selective to who I take my children to see and she and her staff were exceptional.
