Same-day braces get you back to your day quickly and stop you from having to go back and forth to the orthodontist leading up to your treatment. This way you don’t have to worry about missing as much work or school!
Same-Day Braces Overview
Same-day braces are a great way to align your teeth and create a straighter, happier smile using a series of brackets, elastic, and wires. Children, teens, and adults are all candidates for traditional braces.
What We Do
Braces can treat a variety of alignment issues, including:
Overbite
Underbite
Open bite
Cross bite
Crowded teeth
Spaced teeth
Generally crooked teeth
How Same-Day Braces Work
Same-day braces use a system of brackets, bands, and wires to correct the alignment of your teeth and straighten your smile.
What to Expect
Everyone who gets same-day braces in Fairfax receives a customized treatment plan. Once your braces are applied after your consultation, it’ll probably take a little time for your lips and cheeks to adjust, but we use state-of-the-art practices and materials to ensure the most comfortable braces. We also provide a wax to create a smoother surface over the metal brackets to ease that transition.
Once your braces are in place, your provider will show you everything you need to know to care for them and your teeth. Usually the wires need replaced every 1 to 2 months to continue advancing alignment.
