Braces

Braces fix mismatched bites and straighten teeth. Brackets are affixed to the front of the teeth, and a wire goes through them. Periodically tightening the wire gently moves the teeth into place. The objective of wearing braces is to correct bite alignment and create a straight, symmetrical, and healthy-looking smile.

How long do braces take to work?

The time it takes Braces to work depends on the degree of the misalignment and the patient's response to treatment. On average, braces could take 12 to 24 months to work, with some a little longer. The time depends on the case's intricacy, the patient's age, and their commitment to following Dr. Locascio's instructions.

Does dental insurance cover the cost of Braces?

Dental insurance plans vary. Some dental insurance policies include braces, while others don't. Ask your insurance provider whether your dental plan covers braces. They may tell you about your plan's orthodontic limits or exclusions. Even if your dental insurance covers braces, you may have to pay a percentage out-of-pocket. Before treatment, discuss payment with Dr. Locascio . Financing is available for those who qualify.
