If a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, then a straight smile begins with braces! At Nautical Dental, we offer a variety of braces in Bexar County that provide real-world results. With our high-quality braces and aligners, you can build a smile that’ll leave you awe-struck every day.
Benefits of Braces:
Our braces offer so many benefits that they might leave you speechless:
- You’ll look fantastic! Straight smiles are more attractive. Give yourself a career boost, improve your self-esteem, and look better in pictures! Braces give you a smile that you’ll be excited to share with the world.
- Braces improve speech. Crooked teeth can negatively affect speech and cause lisps. With braces, your words become crystal clear.
- Prevent bone erosion. With misaligned teeth, you apply uneven pressure to the jawbone and facial structure. Prevent bone erosion early on, and use braces to fix structural problems.
- Better digestion. Teeth grind, cut, and mash-up our food. With straight teeth, you upgrade your digestion and make your stomach happier. However, failure to chew correctly leads to poor digestion, which happens when your teeth are improperly aligned.
- Enhance oral hygiene. Straight, aligned teeth are easier to brush and floss. It’s hard to brush your teeth when there are gaps, overlapping sections, and hidden spots! Beat the curve today with braces, and prevent cavities down the road.
- Fix your bite. Are you suffering from overbite or underbite? Not anymore. Braces align your teeth, fix malocclusions, and correct your bite.
- Prevent dental injuries. Crooked teeth are more vulnerable to physical injuries, infection, and decay. Why have a broken, twisted smile when you could have a robust and organized set of teeth?
- Braces are effective. Braces have a very high success rate- after all, they’ve been in use since 1819! With our oversight, we can make adjustments to ensure maximum results.
- Reduce the risk of TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder). With warped teeth, we put uneven pressure on our jaw muscles. Over time, we can damage our TMJ, resulting in infection and headaches.
- Avoid gingivitis. Gingivitis is another disease that can set in if you leave crooked teeth alone for too long! Gum disease is more likely to occur when our teeth are open to infection, bacteria, and plaque. When teeth are straight, gums are easier to clean, and gingivitis is less likely to develop.
What Types of Braces do we Offer?
At Nautical Dental, we offer a vast selection of braces to best suit your needs.
- Metal Braces. Metal braces are classical, practical, and the most common orthodontic treatment. Traditional braces offer the same benefits as other methods at a better price. We attach brackets to the front of your teeth with medical-grade steel and fasten them with an archwire. Rubber bands connect to the archwire, adding pressure over your teeth. Metal braces generally take 18 months and ensure a smooth, straight smile for even the most crooked teeth.
- Ceramic Braces. Ceramic braces are traditional braces that use an invisibility cloak. While they follow the same style as traditional braces, ceramic braces offer a discreet way to straighten your smile. We make ceramic braces of tooth-colored brackets that are more comfortable and blend in with your teeth.
- ClearCorrect Aligners. ClearCorrect aligners provide a comfortable, clean, and easy way to straighten teeth. While not a brace in a traditional sense, ClearCorrect Aligners are like Invisalign, except ClearCorrect is a thinner, more light version.
