Braces in Prairieville

At Ascension Premier Dental, we proudly offer advanced orthodontic treatments for residents of Prairieville and surrounding communities. Braces remain one of the most effective and reliable solutions for correcting misaligned teeth, crowded smiles, and bite issues — helping patients of all ages achieve optimal oral health and confidence.

Led by Dr. Calvin G. Bessonet III, the top Dentist in Prairieville, our team customizes every treatment plan to meet your specific dental goals and comfort level. Whether you're a parent exploring options for your child or an adult seeking a straighter smile, braces provide a time-tested approach with long-lasting results.

We offer multiple types of braces to suit your lifestyle and orthodontic needs:

• Traditional Metal Braces – Strong and efficient, these are ideal for moderate to severe misalignment.
  
  
• Clear Braces – Aesthetic alternatives to metal braces, blending more naturally with your teeth.
  
  
• Braces for Adults and Teens – Customized treatment timelines and designs for every age group.
  
  
• Cosmetic Braces – Braces that focus on visual appeal while still delivering clinical effectiveness.

Looking for less visible orthodontic options? Explore alternatives like Clear Aligners and Invisalign.

Your journey to a straighter smile begins with a thorough consultation and continues with step-by-step support:

1. Initial Consultation – Complete exam and 3D imaging using our Digital Scanner (TRIOS).
   
   
2. Custom Treatment Plan – Dr. Bessonet designs a roadmap specific to your needs.
   
   
3. Braces Placement – Brackets and wires are applied in a comfortable, efficient session.
   
   
4. Adjustment Appointments – Regular visits ensure progress is on track.
   
   
5. Retention Phase – Once teeth are aligned, we provide a retainer to maintain results.

We also use 3D CT Scanning for precise treatment planning.

How Braces Compare to Other Orthodontic Options

Braces are often recommended for cases that require more control and versatility than clear aligners can provide. While systems like Invisalign are effective for mild to moderate misalignment, braces may be preferred for:

• Severe crowding or bite issues
  
  
• Tooth rotations or vertical movement
  
  
• Patients who may not wear removable aligners consistently
  

If you’re uncertain which option is right for you, we’re here to walk you through every choice during your consultation.
