What Are Traditional Braces?
Traditional braces are orthodontic appliances that use small brackets attached to the teeth and connected by wires to gradually guide teeth into proper alignment.
During treatment, the wires are periodically adjusted to apply controlled pressure that moves teeth into the desired position.
Modern braces have evolved significantly from older designs. Today’s braces feature:
• Smaller, more comfortable brackets
• Flexible wires that move teeth more efficiently
• Ceramic options that blend with natural tooth color
• Advanced treatment planning for predictable results
Braces remain one of the most effective orthodontic treatments for correcting both simple and complex alignment problems.
What Orthodontic Issues Can Braces Correct?
Braces can treat a wide variety of orthodontic concerns, including:
• Crowded teeth
• Gaps or spacing between teeth
• Overbite
• Underbite
• Crossbite
• Open bite
• Rotated or misaligned teeth
• Jaw alignment issues
Correcting these problems not only improves the appearance of your smile but can also enhance chewing function, speech, and long-term dental health.
Who Benefits from Braces?
Braces are commonly recommended for children, teens, and adults who want to improve their dental alignment.
You may benefit from braces if you:
• Have crowded or crooked teeth
• Have gaps between teeth
• Experience bite problems such as overbite or underbite
• Want long-term correction for alignment issues
• Have complex orthodontic concerns that clear aligners may not fully correct
Because braces are highly versatile, they can address both mild and more severe orthodontic problems.
Dr. Priyawat carefully evaluates each patient’s teeth, jaw alignment, and bite to design a personalized orthodontic treatment plan.

Metal Braces
Metal braces are the most common and effective orthodontic option.
• Durable and reliable
• Highly effective for complex cases
• Smaller and more comfortable than older designs
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces use tooth-colored or clear brackets to provide a more discreet appearance.

Both types of braces provide excellent results when properly maintained throughout treatment.
Benefits of Braces
Orthodontic treatment with braces offers several important benefits.
Proven Results
Braces have been used successfully for decades and can correct a wide range of orthodontic problems.
Improved Oral Health
Straighter teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
Better Bite Function
Correcting bite alignment can improve chewing efficiency and reduce strain on the jaw.
Long-Term Stability
Properly aligned teeth are less likely to experience uneven wear or dental complications.
Customized Treatment
Each braces plan is tailored to the patient’s specific needs and treatment goals.
The Braces Process at Omnia Dental Care
Orthodontic treatment with braces typically follows several steps.
1. Consultation and Examination
Dr. Priyawat evaluates your teeth and bite using digital X-rays, photos, and scans.
2. Customized Treatment Plan
A detailed orthodontic plan is created based on your alignment needs and goals.
3. Braces Placement
Brackets are carefully bonded to the teeth and connected with orthodontic wires.
4. Adjustment Visits
Regular appointments are scheduled every 6–8 weeks to adjust wires and monitor progress.
5. Retainers After Treatment
Once braces are removed, retainers are provided to maintain your newly aligned smile.
Most braces treatments are completed within 18–36 months, depending on the complexity of the case.
Caring for Braces During Treatment
Maintaining good oral hygiene is important during orthodontic treatment.
Helpful care tips include:
• Brushing after meals using fluoride toothpaste
• Flossing carefully around brackets and wires
• Avoiding sticky or hard foods that may damage braces
• Wearing elastics or appliances as instructed
• Attending regular orthodontic adjustment appointments
Proper care helps ensure the best possible treatment outcome.
