BRACES IN VIRGINIA BEACH
Love your Smile
If you are getting traditional braces, you are on your way to a beautiful new smile! Orthodontic treatment is a way of straightening or moving teeth to improve the appearance of the teeth and how they function. It will also help improve the long-term health of your teeth, gums and jaw joints by balancing the biting pressure over all your teeth.
Orthodontic treatment is one of the fastest changing fields in modern dentistry today. Advancements in materials have made traditional metal braces more comfortable than ever before. The brackets are made out of small, low-profile stainless steel with smoothed edges and offer patients a more comfortable orthodontic experience.

WHY DO I NEED ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT?
Orthodontic treatment is about so much more than straight, pretty teeth, although that is a great bonus! Teeth that have been properly aligned have an impact on the future of your dental health. Straight teeth are healthy teeth and this creates lifelong benefits.
If your teeth are crooked, then chances are high that you will have excessive pressure and wear on certain teeth, which can break down enamel and cause decay or even cause teeth to chip or break. Straight teeth fit together in a harmonious balance that exerts equal pressure throughout the chewing surface and this is how teeth stay healthy for a lifetime. Orthodontic treatment will create an ideal bite, which in turn allows your jaw to function properly during chewing and biting.
Orthodontic treatment enhances a person’s appearance. It also increases self confidence in patients as they move from childhood into adulthood. Maddux Orthodontics of Virginia Beach, VA is pleased to offer braces to help patients achieve an ideal, healthy and functional bite.
