Braces in Hawthorne, CA

Time-Tested Orthodontic Care for Straighter Smiles

At Schnierow Dental Care, we provide comprehensive orthodontic care with traditional braces, one of the most effective methods for correcting moderate to severe misalignment, bite problems, and spacing issues. Our orthodontists combine advanced technology with years of expertise to create tailored treatment plans that help patients of all ages achieve healthier, more confident smiles.

Why Choose Braces?

Braces remain the gold standard in orthodontics for their versatility and predictable results. Unlike clear aligners or Invisalign, braces are fixed appliances that continuously apply gentle pressure, making them ideal for complex corrections.

Braces may be recommended for:

  • Overcrowding or overlapping teeth
  • Large gaps or spacing issues
  • Overbite, underbite, or crossbite
  • Jaw alignment concerns
  • Severe rotations or difficult tooth movements

Types of Braces We Offer

At Schnierow Dental Care, our orthodontists customize treatment based on your needs. Options include:

  • Traditional Metal Braces – Durable and highly effective for all ages.
  • Ceramic Braces – Tooth-colored brackets for a less noticeable look.
  • Specialized Systems – For certain cases, such as 6-Month Smiles, which provides accelerated cosmetic results for select patients.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your braces journey includes several steps:

  1. Consultation & Exam – Evaluation of your bite and orthodontic needs.
  2. Placement of Braces – Brackets and wires are applied to guide tooth movement.
  3. Adjustments – Periodic tightening and monitoring every few weeks.
  4. Treatment Duration – On average, braces are worn for 18–30 months depending on complexity.
  5. Retention Phase – A custom retainer is provided to maintain your new smile.

Benefits of Braces

Patients who choose braces can expect:

  • Reliable, long-term results for all levels of misalignment
  • Improved oral health by making teeth easier to clean
  • A stronger bite and better jaw alignment
  • Confidence from a straighter, healthier smile

Braces vs. Clear Aligners

While both options straighten teeth, braces are often the better choice for:

  • Younger patients who may forget to wear removable aligners
  • Cases requiring major bite correction
  • Patients seeking the most controlled and comprehensive tooth movement

Our orthodontists will explain whether braces, clear aligners, or Invisalign are the best fit for you.
