Braces have been in use for many years, mainly because they are a trusted method for realigning a smile. While most people think braces are for kids in middle and high school, the truth is our orthodontist can provide braces in Coral Gables, Florida, for people of all ages. If you are interested in braces for yourself or your child, call Gables Exceptional Smiles at 305-442-9499 for an appointment with Dr. Michael Perez.

Braces are an orthodontic treatment option that can help you achieve a smile that is straighter and healthier. One of the most common orthodontic treatments available, braces work to improve your smile by gradually, and gently realigning your teeth. Braces consist of a system of metal brackets, wires and bands. The brackets are attached to the front of your teeth and are connected to each other through the use of a metal wire and bands. As we adjust the wire, the braces guide your teeth to their ideal positions in your smile. Ceramic braces are also often available, which are the same color as your teeth for a more discreet orthodontic option.

If you have ever wanted your smile to be straighter and more attractive, braces may be right for you. With braces, we are able to correct orthodontic issues such as:

• Crowded teeth

• Gapped teeth

• Misaligned teeth

• Problems with the bite, including crossbite, open bite, underbite and overbite

During your treatment, you will visit our office on a regular basis so we can make sure that your braces are adjusted as needed to continue progressing toward a straighter, healthier smile. Our skilled dentist and team will help you reach all of your oral health and appearance goals through personalized, high-quality care. To learn more about braces, please contact our office today.
