How Braces Work?
Traditional braces consist of small metal brackets attached to each tooth, connected by a flexible archwire. Over time, gentle pressure from the wire moves your teeth into the correct position. The braces are periodically adjusted at Fremont Star Dental to guide the progress safely and efficiently. Metal braces in Fremont are now smaller, sleeker, and more comfortable than the bulky versions of the past. They're especially effective for moderate to severe misalignment cases, offering control that some removable systems can't match.
Before starting orthodontic care, patients often undergo a dental exam in Fremont to ensure their teeth and gums are healthy and ready for treatment.

Your Journey with Braces at Fremont Star Dental
We've designed our orthodontic process to be supportive and informative from start to finish:
- Consultation – We begin with a clinical exam, full dental history, and 3D imaging. You'll receive a complete treatment plan outlining timelines, costs, and appliance options.
- Final Discussion and Records – Once you're comfortable with the plan, we take detailed photos, impressions, and X-rays to finalize your case setup. You may choose to begin treatment that same day.
- Braces Placement – This is your longest appointment (about 1–2 hours). Our team places the braces and provides care instructions to get you off to a strong start.
- Regular Adjustments – Every 4–8 weeks, we'll adjust your wires to continue progress. These appointments are quick and allow us to track changes closely.
We're here at every step, answering questions, easing concerns, and celebrating milestones. After braces removal, we often recommend mouthguards or retainers to protect your new smile.
When Are Braces the Right Choice?
Overly Crowded Teeth
This occurs when there is simply a lack of room within your jaw for all of your teeth to fit normally. When left untreated, overly crowded teeth can cause dental decay, an increase in chances of gum disease, and can prevent the normal function of teeth. In cases of overcrowding due to bone structure, bone grafting or sinus augmentation may be recommended before orthodontic or implant procedures.
Widely Spaced Teeth
This occurs with abnormal continued growth of the jaw bone. When teeth are missing, this issue can also be caused by the other teeth shifting due to extra space. Spacing issues in teeth can cause some periodontal diseases. Patients missing multiple teeth may benefit from dental implants for missing teeth for improved stability.
Crossbite
This occurs when the upper and lower jaws are both misaligned. It causes one or more upper teeth to bite on the inside of the lower teeth, and can happen on both the front and/or the sides of the mouth. This issue can cause wear of the teeth, gum disease, and bone loss. If tooth damage occurs, our porcelain crowns and bridges can help restore proper function.
Overbite
What people commonly refer to as an "overbite" is known to dental professionals as "overjet." It occurs when the upper teeth bite over the lower teeth. It's typically caused by either genetics, bad oral habits, or over development of the bone that supports the teeth. This issue can lead to gum problems or irritation, and/or wear on the lower teeth and can cause painful jaw and joint problems.
Underbite
An underbite is when you close your mouth and your lower front teeth are in front of your upper teeth. In many cases, this is actually a problem with your lower jaw being too far forward. An underbite can make it hard to chew properly and speak clearly, and it might cause your teeth to wear down more quickly.
Open Bite
When the upper and lower teeth don't fully close together, it can interfere with proper biting and speech. Braces help gradually close this gap so the teeth meet correctly.
Benefits of Traditional Metal Braces
Handles Complex Cases
Braces offer precise control over tooth movement, making them effective for severe crowding, spacing, and bite issues that other options may not fully correct.
No Compliance Required
Because braces are fixed to your teeth, there's no risk of forgetting to wear them or losing a removable appliance.
Proven, Reliable Results
Metal braces have decades of clinical use behind them, giving both patients and orthodontists confidence in predictable outcomes.
Works for All Ages
From children to adults, braces are effective at any stage of life once permanent teeth are in place.
Durable Materials
Metal brackets and wires are built to withstand the daily forces of eating and speaking throughout treatment.
Customizable Look
Colored bands let younger patients personalize their braces, while clear or smaller brackets keep the look more discreet for others.

Caring for Your Braces Day to Day
- Watch What You Eat: Avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods like ice, caramel, and popcorn, which can bend wires or pop off brackets.
- Brush After Every Meal: Food traps easily around brackets and wires, so brushing after eating helps prevent decay and staining.
- Floss With a Threader: A floss threader or interdental brush makes it easier to clean between wires and under the archwire.
- Use Orthodontic Wax: A small amount of wax over a bracket or wire end can ease irritation to your cheeks or lips.
- Keep Every Adjustment Visit: Regular 4–8 week adjustments keep your treatment on schedule and on track.
- Wear Your Retainer: After braces come off, consistent retainer wear helps keep your teeth from shifting back.
