At Burlingame Smile Studio, we believe that everyone deserves a beautiful smile, regardless of age. Under the expert care of Dr. April Lee, we offer a variety of braces tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient, ensuring that everyone from Millbrae to San Bruno can achieve their best smile.
How Braces Work
Braces are marvels of dental engineering, using constant and gentle pressure to gradually move teeth into their ideal positions. The main components are the brackets, which are affixed to each tooth, and the archwire, which connects the brackets and exerts the necessary force to move the teeth. As the teeth move, new bone grows in to anchor them in their new positions.
Innovative Self-Ligating Braces
Dr. Lee utilizes self-ligating braces technology, which employs a spring clip to attach the archwire to the brackets. This reduces friction, minimizes discomfort, and allows for longer intervals between visits. Plus, for those who enjoy a splash of color, decorative bands can still be added to personalize the look of your braces.
The Surprising Benefits of Braces
Straightening your teeth with braces offers more than just aesthetic improvements:
Boosted Confidence
A straighter smile can significantly enhance your self-esteem, making you more confident in social and professional interactions.
Better Oral Health
Aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath by eliminating hard-to-reach spots where bacteria can hide.
Improved Chewing
Correcting a misaligned bite can alleviate discomfort while eating and allow you to enjoy a wider variety of foods.
Protection from Injury
Properly aligned teeth are less prone to injury, reducing the risk of damage in the event of an accident.
Your Braces Options at Burlingame Smile Studio
We offer a range of orthodontic solutions to fit every lifestyle and preference:
Self-Ligating Metal Braces
These modern metal braces are smaller, flatter, and more comfortable than traditional braces. They are highly efficient in straightening teeth and reducing treatment time.
Self-Ligating Clear Ceramic Braces
Ideal for adults seeking a subtle appearance, these braces are nearly invisible and resistant to staining. They offer the same efficiency as metal braces but with a more aesthetic appeal.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
For those who prefer a braces-free look, Invisalign’s clear, removable aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth. You simply switch to a new set of aligners weekly to gradually improve your smile.
