Braces at Sudbury Orthodontics
Straighten your smile with confidence.
Modern braces provide reliable, precise tooth movement for children, teens and adults. Your treatment is carefully planned and monitored by our orthodontic team to improve alignment, bite function and long term smile stability.
What Are Braces?
Continuous, controlled movement for a healthier smile.
Braces are fixed orthodontic appliances that stay attached to the teeth throughout active treatment. Brackets, archwires and small supporting components apply gentle, planned pressure that gradually guides teeth into better positions and helps correct bite concerns.
How Braces Work
Small components, carefully coordinated.
Every part of your appliance has a purpose. Your orthodontic team selects the wire shapes, force levels and adjustment sequence based on your individual diagnosis and treatment goals.
Types of Braces

Living With Braces
Simple habits protect your teeth and appliances.
Brush carefully
Clean around brackets and along the gumline after meals whenever possible. Our team will demonstrate helpful techniques.
Floss every day
Use floss threaders, interdental brushes or other recommended tools to clean between teeth and under wires.
Choose braces friendly foods
Avoid very hard, sticky or chewy foods that can bend wires or loosen brackets. Cut firm foods into smaller pieces.
Protect your appliance
Wear an orthodontic mouthguard during sports and contact our office if part of the appliance is damaged.
Manage temporary tenderness
Mild pressure or tenderness can occur after placement or adjustments and usually improves as the mouth adapts.
Keep every appointment
Regular visits help us maintain progress and address small issues before they interrupt treatment.
Braces treatment with insurance support.
We accept all insurance plans and assist with benefit verification, preauthorizations and claim paperwork. Our financial team will explain expected costs and available arrangements before treatment begins.
