About Braces

Braces remain one of the most trusted and effective ways to align teeth and correct bite issues. We offer expert orthodontic guidance to help patients of all ages achieve healthier, more confident smiles. Braces in Safford, Arizona, can improve both appearance and function, supporting long-term dental health.

Why Braces May Be Needed

Braces are designed to gradually move teeth into their ideal positions using a system of brackets and wires. This process not only enhances smile aesthetics but also addresses common orthodontic concerns, such as:

  • Crooked or crowded teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Overbites, underbites or crossbites
  • Jaw alignment issues
  • Difficulty chewing or speaking due to misalignment

Our dentists and team carefully evaluate your orthodontic needs and develop a personalized treatment plan to deliver safe, predictable results.

Maintaining and Caring for Braces

Wearing braces requires a commitment to care and maintenance. Proper oral hygiene and regular visits help ensure effective treatment and prevent issues such as plaque buildup or gum irritation.

To care for your braces:

  • Brush after every meal using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste
  • Floss daily using floss threaders or orthodontic floss
  • Avoid sticky, hard or sugary foods that can damage brackets or wires
  • Wear any recommended appliances, such as elastics, as instructed
  • Attend all scheduled orthodontic appointments for adjustments

We provide instructions and support at every step of the process to help you stay on track and comfortable during treatment.

Benefits of braces in Safford, AZ, include:

  • Improved alignment and bite function
  • Enhanced smile aesthetics
  • Easier cleaning and maintenance of teeth
  • Reduced risk of future dental complications
  • Long-lasting results with proper post-treatment care

After your braces are removed, a retainer may be recommended to maintain the new position of your teeth and protect your investment in a straighter smile.

At Copper Hills Dental, we focus on making orthodontic treatment a positive experience. We take time to educate patients and create an encouraging environment where every visit supports progress and confidence.

What Our Patients Are Saying

Aileen M.

As soon as you walk in, you feel right at home. Beautiful office! Everyone from the receptionist to the dentist make you feel welcome. It makes me feel better that my kids really like all the staff. When they can relax, I can relax. They also have TVs right above the exam chair so you could watch your shows while getting work done. Best idea ever!

Nicolas M.

This is by far the most friendly and best dental office I have experienced as a grown up. They are attentive to every issue and understanding when work is needed and money is tight. We have never had any issues with insurance as they have done all the work. Our family loves this office and the staff makes us feel like we are family.

B. Scarlett

I have always received friendly and efficient service. From the front office to the dentists they go above and beyond in making your experience as painless as possible. I really appreciate the way they explain what is needed to be done before they proceed. Puts my mind at ease. Highly recommend!!

T. Seay

The best dentist in the Gila Valley! Not only the dentist but every single person that works here is kind and helpful. From 3-9 my son has only gone here every 6 months for his cleaning. I’m not the best with my own dental hygiene but they never make me feel bad.
