What are braces?

Braces are used by Dr.Kaufman and Dr. Roland to help improve the look and feel of you smile in Rochester NY! There are several different types of braces to choose from , including:

* Clear braces
* Ceramic braces
* Self-ligating braces
* Traditional metal braces
* Invisible braces

The braces are placed on your teeth by Dr.Kaufman and Dr. Roland. They are positioned very precisely and then literally glued to your teeth. Once the braces are adhered to the teeth then the archwires are placed which cause the teeth to mover to their ideal positions. If you would like to see Dr.Kaufman actually placing them on a patient go to our YouTube video at kaufmanorthodontics to see it for yourself.
