Straighten Your
Smile with
Confidence
Gentle, gradual orthodontic treatment with full patient support at every step of your journey. We make braces comfortable, manageable, and worth every smile.
Why Patients Opt For Braces
Considering the time commitment needed during the orthodontic process, it's important to choose a clinic that's right for you. We aim to provide our patients at JSmile Dental Clinic with the support they need through clear communication and regular follow-up visits.
Gentle Approach
Orthodontic treatment involves gradually moving teeth into better positions. We aim to make the process as effective and comfortable as possible.
Welcoming Staff
Treatment can be an evolving process and can cause many questions to arise. We encourage our patients to ask questions, and our staff is happy to explain each stage of treatment.
Flexible Payment Options
Treatment can be financially daunting. We offer payment plans to help make orthodontic treatment more manageable since treatment can last several months or years.
Convenient Location
Because orthodontic treatment requires regular adjustment visits, it's important that the clinic is easy to reach. We are conveniently located in San Pablo City.
Your Braces Journey
Though every patient requires a unique treatment plan, the orthodontic process tends to follow a similar path.
First Step
The first step is the assessment, where we evaluate the teeth, bite, and jaw relationship. We also take time to understand each patient's concerns and treatment goals before recommending any treatment.
Creating the Plan
Based on the patient's needs, a treatment plan is created. This typically includes the recommended type of braces, an estimated treatment timeline, and expected costs.
Getting Braces
Braces are placed and patients are given instructions for the adjustment period, including recommendations for eating, cleaning, and caring for their braces.
Routine Adjustments
Treatment is monitored through regular adjustment visits to ensure teeth are moving as planned.
Retention Phase
After braces are removed, retainers help maintain the new tooth positions and reduce the natural tendency of teeth to shift over time.
What We Offer
Several orthodontic systems are available depending on personal goals and preferences.
Metal Braces
Metal braces are a durable system that can be used for a wide variety of orthodontic cases. Patients often choose metal braces because of:
- check_circle Cost-effectiveness
- check_circle Durability
- check_circle Ability to treat a wide range of orthodontic concerns
- check_circle A long history of successful treatment
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces work similarly to metal braces but use tooth-coloured brackets that are less noticeable when smiling. Patients often choose ceramic braces because they are:
- check_circle Less visible while smiling
- check_circle Less noticeable in photographs
- check_circle Capable of treating many of the same concerns as metal braces
- check_circle Popular among older teens and adults
Each system has advantages and limitations, so the most appropriate option depends on the patient's clinical needs and preferences.
What Orthodontic Treatment Can Improve
Braces can be used to address:
- check_circle Crowded teeth
- check_circle Gaps between teeth
- check_circle Overbites and underbites
- check_circle Bite alignment concerns
- check_circle General tooth alignment and smile symmetry
Treatment recommendations depend on the goals of the patient and the complexity of the case.
Common Questions
The duration of treatment depends on the specific complexity of your case. Most patients have braces on for a total of 12 to 24 months. Corrections to minor issues can take 6 to 12 months, while complex issues may take longer. Your realistic treatment timeline will be provided during your consultation.
After braces adjustments, patients usually only experience mild soreness for 2 to 3 days. This can be managed with over the counter pain relievers. Most patients report no pain between braces adjustments. Our team makes every effort to be as gentle as possible throughout your treatment to reduce your discomfort.
Appointments for braces adjustments are usually every 4 weeks. These appointments are quick and take about 20 to 40 minutes. Our team will make sure you have the necessary notifications to ensure you make your adjustment appointments. These adjustments are crucial to ensure your treatment timeline is met.
There is no maximum age for having braces. We treat patients of all ages, and the braces options we have include ceramic braces, which are especially popular among adult patients looking for less obvious braces.
After your first phase of treatment is complete and your braces are removed, we immediately start the second phase of treatment by fitting you for your first retainer. The retainers we fit you for will keep your teeth from moving back to their original position. We will be with you during the entire second phase of your treatment to ensure you understand the importance of wearing your retainers.
The price varies for different types of braces and how complex your case is. We offer flexible payment options to make braces affordable. Contact us on Facebook or by phone to schedule a consultation for a complete, honest, and detailed cost breakdown with no hidden costs.
