ALL ABOUT BRACES

At Koko Head Smiles Orthodontics you will find comfort knowing we use the most advanced techniques and appliances to straighten our patients’ teeth. In fact, we use the world’s most popular orthodontic appliance system.

Teeth do not have brains. Thus teeth do not know WHAT moves them but rather respond to ANY pressure by moving away from that pressure. In fact, depending on your age, you may have been told by your dentist to bite on a popsicle stick to move a crooked tooth or two. Although this can work, today we have retired popsicle sticks to frozen treats due to more sophisticated tooth-moving methods.

Advances in brackets (braces) and wires (made from space-aged thermal-activated metals used on the space shuttle) have had tremendous impacts on decreasing treatment time and office visits, nearly eliminating the need to extract teeth, and increasing comfort of appliances without needing to ‘tighten’ braces.
