Why Choose Braces

Braces aren’t just about having a straighter smile—they play a big role in your long-term dental health. When teeth are out of alignment, it can affect how you chew, speak, and even how your jaw functions. Correcting these issues with braces helps protect both the look and the health of your smile.

  • Uneven tooth wear Misaligned teeth can cause certain areas to wear down faster than others.
  • Chewing or speech problems Poor alignment makes eating and speaking more difficult.
  • Jaw discomfort Bite issues may lead to strain, TMJ problems, or frequent headaches.
  • Greater risk of decay Crowded teeth are harder to clean, raising the chance of cavities and gum disease.

Choosing braces means more than a cosmetic upgrade—it’s an investment in comfort, function, and a healthier smile for years to come.

What to Expect from Braces at Empower Dental

Orthodontic treatment at Empower Dental Pasadena starts with a detailed consultation. We use advanced diagnostic technology to fully understand your bite and design a treatment plan that’s precise, effective, and tailored to your smile.

  • Digital X-rays Provide clear, detailed views of tooth roots and bone structure.
  • Intraoral cameras Capture high-resolution images of your teeth and gums in real time.
  • Cone Beam CT scanning Offers 3D images of your entire jaw for comprehensive evaluation.
  • 3D imaging & printing Used to create accurate models and guides for treatment planning.
  • Digital occlusal analysis (Tekscan) Measures bite forces to ensure balanced alignment.
  • Air abrasion technology A gentle tool for preparing and cleaning teeth without drills.

After diagnostics are complete, we’ll place your custom braces. These apply gentle, steady pressure to gradually move your teeth into their proper positions. With regular checkups, we’ll track your progress and make adjustments to keep your treatment on course.

Braces for Every Stage of Life

Orthodontic treatment isn’t just for kids and teens—adults of all ages can benefit from braces too. At Empower Dental Pasadena, we offer a full range of orthodontic solutions, from traditional braces to clear aligners, so every patient can find the option that fits their goals, lifestyle, and budget.

  • Teens Braces guide developing teeth into healthy alignment, preventing future dental problems and improving confidence at a critical stage of life.
  • Adults More and more adults are choosing orthodontics to correct long-standing issues or to improve results from past treatment.
  • Flexible options Choose from metal braces, discreet ceramic braces, or nearly invisible clear aligners for a personalized approach.

When your treatment is complete, you’ll enjoy a straighter smile that not only looks great but is also easier to brush, floss, and maintain. To protect your results, we’ll provide a custom retainer plan and long-term care guidance—helping you keep your new smile strong and stable for years to come.
