Braces are a time-tested orthodontic treatment designed to align and straighten teeth, improving both function and appearance. In Valencia, Dr. Laura Greenwald at All Kids Dentistry specializes in providing traditional metal braces, which are an effective solution for children and teens who need to correct dental misalignments.
Braces work by applying constant pressure through a series of brackets, wires, bands, and other structures that are attached to the teeth. Over time, this pressure gradually moves teeth into the desired position. With advanced techniques and high-quality materials, braces today are more comfortable and efficient than ever before. Whether dealing with crooked teeth, gaps, or bite issues, braces can transform smiles and boost confidence.
Opting for braces is more than just a cosmetic decision. It's an investment in your dental health, too! Misaligned teeth can lead to a host of problems, including difficulty brushing and flossing that increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Braces can correct these issues, ensuring a healthier mouth long-term.
In addition to the oral health benefits of braces, a well-aligned smile also enhances your self-esteem. This can positively impact social interactions and self-image. For children and teens, this is especially important as they navigate their formative years. Choosing braces means choosing a healthier, more confident future.

Braces align teeth properly, making them easier to clean. This reduces the risk of cavities and gum disease, ensuring healthier teeth and gums.
A straighter smile enhances facial aesthetics, boosting self-confidence and encouraging more frequent smiling and social interaction.
Braces correct bite issues, which can alleviate jaw pain and improve overall oral function, such as chewing and speaking.
The journey begins with an initial consultation at All Kids Dentistry in Valencia. Dr. Laura Greenwald will conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays and impressions, to assess the alignment of the teeth and bite. This step is crucial for creating a personalized treatment plan tailored to the specific needs of the patient. During this visit, Dr. Greenwald will also discuss the expected duration of treatment and answer any questions or concerns.

Once the treatment plan is finalized, the next step is fitting the braces. This involves attaching metal brackets to the teeth using a special adhesive. A metal archwire is then threaded through the brackets and secured with elastic bands. The entire process usually takes about one to two hours. Patients might experience some initial discomfort as they adjust to the new appliance, but this is temporary and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
Throughout the treatment, regular visits to All Kids Dentistry are essential for adjustments. These appointments typically occur every 4-6 weeks, but may vary depending on your child’s orthodontic needs. During each visit, Dr. Greenwald will adjust the tension on their braces to continue guiding the teeth into their new positions. These adjustments are vital for ensuring the treatment progresses as planned. Patients will receive guidance on maintaining oral hygiene and managing their braces to maximize comfort and effectiveness.
