BRACES WINTER HAVEN FL
Enhancing Smiles, Improving Lives
As a leading provider of orthodontic braces, our mission is clear: to enhance your smile and promote excellent oral health. Thankfully, having braces doesn’t necessarily require highly noticeable metal brackets and wires. Many of today’s braces are made from either clear or natural tooth-colored materials to provide patients with an attractive, less noticeable alternative.
Cornejo Orthodontics' expert team uses cutting-edge technology to provide tailored treatment that is both comfortable and effective. We have a wide choice of braces alternatives to meet your smiling goals, including metal, ceramic, Invisalign, and lingual braces in Winter Haven FL.

Traditional Braces
Traditional braces are the time-tested, go-to option for orthodontic treatment. They consist of metal brackets that are affixed to your teeth and connected by wires. These braces are highly effective for addressing a wide range of orthodontic issues, from misaligned teeth to complex bite problems.
Pros:

Clear (Ceramic) Braces
Clear braces combine the effectiveness of traditional braces with a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. They feature tooth-colored or clear brackets that blend seamlessly with your teeth, reducing their visibility during treatment.
Pros:
- Aesthetic Appeal: Clear braces use tooth-colored brackets, providing a less noticeable appearance.
- Effective: They are effective for various orthodontic needs.
Cons:
- Cost: Clear braces may be more expensive than traditional metal braces.

Iconix Champagne Colored Braces
If you're looking for a touch of elegance and style during your orthodontic journey, our Iconix Champagne Colored Braces might be the perfect choice for you. These aesthetic braces are known for their unique design and exquisite champagne gold finish, which blends harmoniously with the natural color of your teeth.

Clear Aligners
Our clear aligners offer a modern and discreet approach to orthodontic treatment. This system utilizes a series of clear, removable aligners custom-made to fit your teeth. As you progress through the aligners, your teeth gradually shift into their desired positions.
Pros:
- Discreet Appearance: Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention.
- Convenience: They are removable for eating and cleaning, making daily life more comfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will I need to wear braces?
The duration of your orthodontic treatment can vary depending on the complexity of your case and your individual goals. On average, most people wear braces for 1 to 3 years.
Will braces hurt?
You may experience some discomfort or soreness after getting your braces tightened or adjusted. However, this discomfort is usually temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers or orthodontic wax.
Can I still play sports or musical instruments with braces?
Yes, you can participate in sports and play musical instruments while wearing braces. We recommend using a mouthguard during contact sports to protect your braces and teeth. For playing wind instruments, you may need some time to adjust to the braces.
How do I clean and maintain my braces?
Proper oral hygiene is crucial during orthodontic treatment. We will provide you with instructions on how to clean and care for your braces, including using special brushes and floss threaders to reach between wires and brackets.
Can I eat my favorite foods with braces?
While you can still enjoy most foods, you may need to avoid very hard, sticky, or chewy items that could damage your braces. We will provide a list of foods to avoid and recommend braces-friendly alternatives.
What age is best for braces?
Orthodontic treatment is not limited by age, and individuals can benefit from braces at any stage of life. However, the optimal timing for braces often falls between the ages of 9 and 14. During this period, the jaws and facial bones are still developing, making it easier to achieve desired orthodontic outcomes.
