Braces
The Benefits of Braces, FASTBRACES®, and OrthoFX clear aligners
Straighter Teeth
Straighter teeth look healthier and more attractive than crooked teeth. After your treatment, you can expect a straighter, more dazzling smile that makes you feel more confident.
Fewer Dental Problems
Because straight teeth are easier to clean, you may be less prone to decay and all the problems it can lead to. Additionally, orthodontics can give you a more even bite that puts less strain on your teeth.
Preventative Treatment
When a child receives braces in their developmental stages, the braces can help prevent more complex dental problems later in life that may prove costly to correct.
Cost-Effective
Metal braces are the least expensive orthodontic treatment to correct major misalignment. And braces are highly effective. They also help prevent dental problems that can be costly to fix.
What Can Braces Correct?
Braces are a tried-and-true method for correcting a variety of orthodontic problems, including:
When your upper teeth project forward, you can experience speech problems and leave yourself more vulnerable to injuries.
When lower teeth push out past your upper teeth, you may experience jaw pain and develop an unbalanced bite.
Teeth that overlap can cause feelings of embarrassment. They're also more difficult to clean, increasing your risk of decay.
When dental arches do not connect when you bite down, you can experience difficulty eating and speaking.
Gaps between teeth can make you feel self-conscious when you smile.
Jaws that aren't aligned can make chewing difficult and eventually lead to problems with the temporomandibular joint.
Braces can correct these alignment problems in about 18 to 24 months on average. Your total treatment time will depend on the severity of your misalignment.

I have been going to this office for years, although it is out of the way for me. The main reason is - the quality of service, it is excellent. The doctor is knowledgeable and caring. Very gentle even with most demanding patients. The reception is extremely well organized. Over the years, never once we had billing issues. The appointments always on time.

Our offices across New Jersey have skilled orthodontists who can use their advanced skills to give you or your child straighter teeth and all the benefits that come along with an attractive smile and balanced bite. We can develop a treatment plan that is specific to your goals and within your budget.
If you have crooked teeth or an uneven bite, we invite you to request a consultation at one of our many practices serving New Jersey:
What to Expect During Your Consultation
During your consultation at NÜVA Smile, one of our orthodontists will examine the position of each tooth, the alignment of the jaws, and the shape of your dental arches. Our practices have advanced imaging technology, such as digital X-rays and 3D panoramic digital imaging, that we can use to plan your treatment and determine the best way for each tooth to move into its ideal alignment.
Once your orthodontist has a better idea of your treatment plan, they will be able to provide you with an idea of how frequent your checkups will be and how long you may need to wear your braces.
What to Expect When Receiving Braces
Once you or your child has been approved for braces, you can expect these steps from one of our New Jersey orthodontists:
Our offices are easily accessible and our team is fluent in several different languages: Russian, Ukrainian, Arabic, Spanish, and Polish.
Caring for Your Braces
While undergoing this orthodontic treatment, it's important to properly care for your braces. In addition to attending regular checkups with your dentist, you can care for your teeth and braces at home by following some guidelines:
Brush Your Teeth
Brush your teeth after every meal to ensure your braces are free of any food debris that allows bacteria to grow, causing decay. Remove any elastics from your braces and any other parts that can be removed. Use your toothbrush to gently remove any food debris from your brackets and wires, then use your toothbrush to gently clean all surfaces of your teeth.
Floss Your Teeth
Floss between each tooth once a day to maintain good oral health as you undergo orthodontic treatment. To make things easier, you can use a floss threader to maneuver around your braces. You may also consider using a water flosser.
Rinse Your Mouth
After brushing, use mouthwash or water to rinse out your mouth and then check your teeth and braces to make sure all food debris has been removed.
Monitor Your Braces
Be mindful of the condition of your braces. If you notice something's amiss or you have a popped wire, you may need to schedule an appointment with your orthodontist.
Avoid Certain Foods
While you have braces, you will need to avoid foods that are sticky and hard like taffy, popcorn, and peanut brittle. These foods can easily get stuck in your braces or damage them.
Maintaining Your Straight Teeth
/
Once your braces have been removed, you will be provided with a custom-made retainer. You may be instructed to wear your retainer for several hours each day and every night indefinitely. This retainer will hold each tooth in its new position as the jawbone heals around it, maintaining your results for years to come.

Alternative Orthodontic Treatments We Offer FASTBACES, Damon Braces, and Invisalign
If you're an adult or teenager who's put off by the idea of wearing bulky metal brackets for over a year, you may be curious about alternative treatment options like Invisalign®. Our offices throughout New Jersey offer alternative orthodontic treatments to traditional braces, such as:
Damon™ braces use less noticeable, specially designed brackets and wires to reposition teeth. This system eliminates the use of elastic ties, which reduces friction and allows for more comfortable treatment.
On average, patients can achieve straighter teeth seven months sooner than they could with traditional braces.
On average, patients can achieve straighter teeth seven months sooner than they could with traditional braces.
Which Orthodontic Option Is Best for Children?
Traditional braces are often the best orthodontic option for children. With removable aligners like Invisalign, the wearer is responsible for remembering to wear their aligner trays. With traditional braces, patients don't have to remember to wear their braces and they can't be misplaced.
Additionally, by adopting a routine, braces can be easy to care for. The primary concern is ensuring your child remembers to brush their teeth after every meal. After that, braces simply require periodic maintenance from one of our New Jersey orthodontists.
Children as young as eight can be eligible for braces.
