“Always keep your smile. That’s how I explain my long life.” – Jeanne Calment
There is nothing better than an authentic smile on a happy person. A great smile communicates confidence, poise and joy. If you do not have an authentic smile, people will be able to see right through it. More importantly, there is no reason that your smile should be inauthentic when you can fix everything about it with the right orthodontics for Southington residents.

There was a time when the process of having braces put on involved forcing a metal band around each tooth, rather like putting rings on your fingers. These bands held the brackets that the wires were threaded through. This process was painful, as you can imagine, because space for two thicknesses of metal had to be created between every tooth and its neighbor before the actual straightening even began.
Fortunately, the attachment phase for braces has been refined substantially over the years. Today, each small bracket is cemented independently to the surface of the tooth. This process is relatively quick and painless. The only discomfort you should experience is the same you would expect from a routine cleaning: having your lips stretched and having your mouth prodded with instruments.
