At Severns Dentistry & Orthodontics, we use our expertise in orthodontics to help you achieve a healthier, more confident smile with braces. McMurray clients and those throughout the area can take advantage of our advanced techniques for a comfortable orthodontic experience.
Braces work by applied constant pressure to your teeth. With this constant pressure, the connective tissue in your gums moves and shifts in small increments. This allows the bone to grow into place and hold your teeth in their new position.
Not only do braces correct the way your teeth look but they also help prevent oral health problems such as tooth decay, pain, abnormal wear of tooth enamel, gum disease, as well as tooth loss or jaw problems that can be caused by crooked teeth or a bad bite, resulting in a healthier smile.
Orthodontic treatment for children typically begins between ages 8-14 for optimal results. Your teeth can be orthodontically treated at any age if your gums and bone structure are healthy.
At Severns Dentistry & Orthodontics, we offer a variety of treatments that are designed for different age groups – including adults. Orthodontic treatment can dramatically benefit both adults and children, improving your appearance, self-esteem, and oral health.
At Severns Dentistry & Orthodontics, we use new techniques and appliances that decrease the frequency of visits, significantly reduce your level of discomfort, and can also shorten treatment times. We have several options for you to choose from including:
During your initial examination, we will determine the best possible treatment to best meet your individual needs.

At Severns Dentistry & Orthodontics, we treat each patient like family, making sure you receive the quality orthodontic care you deserve. With our expert orthodontic techniques and compassionate care, we serve as your top choice for dental services in McMurray.

The duration of treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case and the type of braces used. On average, most patients wear braces for 18 to 24 months. Remember, regular check-ups are crucial in keeping your treatment on track!
Don't panic! If a bracket comes loose or a wire breaks, contact us immediately to schedule an appointment. In the meantime, use orthodontic wax to cover any sharp edges that may cause discomfort.
You might feel some discomfort or pressure when braces are first installed or adjusted, but this feeling usually subsides within a few days. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help ease any discomfort.
Typically, you'll need to visit us every 4 to 6 weeks for adjustments. Regular appointments ensure your teeth are moving as planned.
While you can enjoy most foods, some can damage your braces or get stuck between them. It's best to avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods. Don't worry, we'll provide a detailed list of foods to avoid during your treatment.
Maintaining good oral hygiene is especially important when you have braces. Brush after every meal and floss daily to remove food particles trapped in your braces. We'll teach you the proper technique during your appointment.
We offer Invisalign, a virtually invisible alternative to traditional braces. They're removable for eating, brushing, and flossing. Talk to us to determine if you're a suitable candidate for this treatment.
