Traditional Braces at Lakes Dental Tauriko

Effective Orthodontic Treatment for a Perfect Smile

Traditional braces are a well-known and highly effective orthodontic treatment for a reason—they work. At Lakes Dental Tauriko, located at 200 Lakes Boulevard in Tauriko, we offer traditional metal braces that safely and efficiently straighten your teeth and align your jaw. Our braces consist of metal brackets adhered to your teeth and connected by wires, which are periodically tightened by our experienced dentists to apply gentle pressure. This process gradually moves your teeth into the desired position, ensuring a beautifully aligned smile.

Modern Traditional Braces: Aesthetic and Comfortable

Don’t worry—today’s traditional braces are much more aesthetically pleasing than they were in the past. At Lakes Dental Tauriko, we use only the highest quality American Orthodontics materials, including MBT prescription brackets and wires available in clear and metal options. Our approach starts with very gentle wires, progressively advancing through small incremental changes. This method reduces discomfort and minimizes the risk of damage to the roots of your teeth, ensuring a safe and comfortable orthodontic journey.
