Braces in Rochester, NY
Braces remain one of the most effective and reliable ways to straighten teeth and correct bite issues. At Westfall Dental Studio, we provide braces in Rochester, NY for children, teens, and adults who want a healthier, more aligned smile. Whether you’re just starting orthodontic treatment or need follow-up care like retainer repair, our team ensures a supportive experience from start to finish.
Why Choose Braces?
Braces are a proven orthodontic solution for:
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps or spacing issues
- Overbites, underbites, or crossbites
- Complex alignment problems that may not be suited for Invisalign
Modern braces are more comfortable and effective than ever, offering reliable results for patients of all ages.
Types of Patients Who Benefit from Braces
- Children and Teens: Braces help guide developing teeth and jaws into proper alignment, often preventing bigger issues later.
- Adults: It’s never too late for braces. Many adults choose orthodontics to improve function, appearance, and confidence.
Our dentists will evaluate your needs and recommend whether braces or Invisalign is the right option for you.
Retainer Repair and Maintenance
After braces are removed, retainers play a critical role in keeping teeth in their new positions. Over time, retainers can break, wear down, or stop fitting correctly. At Westfall Dental Studio, we provide retainer repair and replacement services to protect your results and ensure your smile stays aligned.
If you notice your retainer is cracked, warped, or no longer fitting comfortably, contact us for a quick evaluation.
Braces as Part of a Smile Makeover
Orthodontic treatment with braces can be combined with other cosmetic options for a complete transformation. Many patients choose:
- Teeth whitening after braces are removed
- Veneers for reshaping or covering imperfections
- Smile makeovers for a comprehensive plan
