Braces A Time-Tested Solution for a Beautiful Smile

At Orsborn Orthodontics in Jacksonville, FL, we understand the importance of a confident smile. Our team, led by Dr. K.J. Orsborn, is dedicated to providing patients with effective orthodontic treatments tailored to their individual needs. One of our most popular treatment options is traditional braces, a tried-and-true method for straightening teeth and correcting bite issues in patients of all ages.

Braces are a proven method for achieving straight, well-aligned teeth. They’re effective in treating a wide range of orthodontic issues, including overcrowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. By applying gentle pressure on the teeth, braces gradually move them into their desired position, resulting in a healthier and more attractive smile.

Braces FAQs

To help you make an informed decision about braces, we've compiled a list of frequently asked questions:

1. What foods should I avoid while wearing braces?
Avoid chewy, crunchy, sticky, and hard foods, as they can damage the braces. Examples include bagels, hard rolls, licorice, popcorn, ice, chips, caramels, gum, nuts, candy, corn on the cob, apples, and carrots.
2. Will my teeth feel sore after getting braces?
It's normal to experience general soreness in your mouth and teeth tenderness for three to five days after getting braces. Rinsing your mouth with warm saltwater or taking over-the-counter pain relievers can help alleviate discomfort.
3. Can I expect my teeth to become loose during treatment?
Teeth loosening is a normal part of the orthodontic process. Teeth must first loosen before they can be moved into their new corrected positions, where they will eventually become rigidly fixed.
4. What should I do if a wire or band comes loose?
If a wire or band becomes loose, don't panic. Use a blunt instrument to carefully and gently push the irritating wire under the archwire. If the irritation persists, place wax or wet cotton on the wire to alleviate discomfort. Call our office as soon as possible to schedule an appointment for repair.
5. How can I take care of my braces?
Proper care of your braces includes consistently wearing any prescribed rubber bands, headgear, or other appliances and avoiding foods that can damage the braces. Remember, damaged appliances can lengthen treatment time.

Braces for Unique Conditions

At Orsborn Orthodontics, we understand that each patient has unique dental needs, which is why we offer a variety of braces and orthodontic treatments in Jacksonville, Florida tailored to address specific conditions. Whether you’re dealing with an overbite, underbite, crowding, or spacing issues, our experienced team can provide a customized treatment plan to help you achieve the perfect smile. On this page, we’ll dive into further detail on some common dental conditions that can be effectively treated with braces.

An overbite occurs when the upper front teeth overlap the lower front teeth excessively. This condition can lead to increased tooth wear, jaw pain, and difficulty chewing. Braces can gradually shift the position of the teeth, correcting the overbite and improving overall oral health.

An underbite is characterized by the lower front teeth extending beyond the upper front teeth. This misalignment can cause difficulty speaking, chewing, and may lead to uneven tooth wear. Braces can help adjust the position of the teeth and jaw, restoring proper alignment and function.

A crossbite occurs when the upper teeth fit inside the lower teeth on one or both sides of the mouth. This condition can lead to tooth wear, gum recession, and potential jaw problems. Braces can correct a crossbite by gradually moving the teeth into their proper position.

Crowding happens when there is insufficient space for all the teeth to fit properly within the jaw. This can make it difficult to maintain proper oral hygiene and may result in an increased risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Braces can help create space and align the teeth, making them easier to clean and maintain.

An open bite occurs when the upper and lower front teeth do not touch when the mouth is closed. This can result in speech difficulties, problems with chewing, and excessive tooth wear. Braces can help correct an open bite by moving the teeth into proper alignment and promoting a healthy bite.
