Braces are orthodontic devices that correct misaligned teeth and jaws, improving both oral health and appearance. They work by applying steady pressure to gradually shift teeth into the correct position. Our braces services have helped countless patients achieve healthier, more confident smiles.
The braces procedure begins with an initial consultation with Dr. Blake Sherrick where we assess your oral health and discuss your treatment goals. We then customize braces to fit your mouth, which are typically worn for one to three years. Regular adjustments ensure the braces continue to align your teeth effectively.
