When Traditional Braces Are Best

Precision for complex cases

🔧
Severe Crowding
When teeth are severely crowded or impacted, braces provide the control and precision needed for complete resolution.
🦴
Skeletal Bite Issues
Significant overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites often require fixed appliance force mechanics.
📏
Multi-tooth Coordination
Braces move all teeth simultaneously in a coordinated system — essential for significant repositioning.
🎓
Teen-Friendly
Preferred for many teenagers — no compliance issues, treatment stays on schedule.
CDCP Coverage Accepted
Orthodontics for medically necessary cases may be covered under CDCP. Standard cosmetic alignment is not.
