With today’s dental technology, our braces are more innovative and minimally designed than ever.
Braces are strong and successfully correct mild to severe cases of alignment issues.
While braces correct many issues, each treatment is customized based on goals and budget.
Your beautiful, straighter smile will boost your confidence and may even improve your life.
One step to get started can change your whole life.
After the first meeting at Teng Smiles Orthodontics PC in Bellevue, WA, we’ll create a customized plan for straightening your teeth with braces. A patient must first have healthy teeth and gums to be a candidate for braces.
- Step 1
We assess your smile, bite, and jaw joint, and discuss your goals. While younger patients have teeth and bones that are still growing, older patients have permanent teeth in place, and we consider the entire facial appearance when creating the smile design.
- Step 2
You’ll come in for your braces to be placed – the teeth are prepped, and the braces are adhered to your teeth. We’ll do our best to make sure you’re comfortable during the entire process and will let you know what to expect before we even begin.
- Step 3
Once you have your braces, we’ll discuss how to best care for your teeth and answer any questions you may have. Every few weeks, you’ll come in for an adjustment so that your teeth gradually move to their desired position.
Once your teeth are straightened, we’ll safely remove your braces, and you can enjoy your new and improved smile! Post-appointment care is easy to maintain, and the orthodontist will walk you through this.
‘‘Dr. Teng and his staff are wonderful to work with. They always took very good care of me while performing their procedure for excellent results! I highly recommend Dr. Teng for orthodontics care.’’
- What age is too late to get braces?
It’s never too late to get braces as long as you have great oral health.
Braces are great for kids, teens, and adults and have the power to correct many types of teeth misalignments.
After an initial exam, your orthodontist will let you know if you’re a candidate for braces.
- Should adults get braces?
Adults should get braces if they’re unhappy with the alignment of their teeth or have a misaligned bite and/or jaw.
Braces help improve the beauty and function of teeth, including improved speech and bite. If left untreated, misaligned teeth may cause dental hygiene problems, tooth decay, pain, and low confidence.
To be a candidate for adult braces, you must have healthy teeth, gums, and jawbone.
Some age-related issues to consider include tooth decay, gum disease, and bone loss. If there’s an oral problem, then the issue must be fixed before treatment to prep the mouth for braces.

- Is it worth it to get braces?
