What Braces Can Do That Other Treatments Cannot
Braces are the only orthodontic appliance that applies continuous, uninterrupted pressure to the teeth twenty-four hours a day without requiring the patient to do anything. That distinction matters clinically. For children still developing, teens who may not reliably wear removable aligners, or adults with complex bite issues, braces deliver a level of precision and control that no removable system can fully replicate. See full braces treatment details at Egger Orthodontics.
Braces at Egger OrthodonticsHow Braces Work
Each bracket is bonded directly to the tooth surface and connected to a precision archwire running across all teeth. At each adjustment appointment, Dr. Egger modifies the wire to continue advancing tooth movement in the precise direction the treatment plan requires. The force applied is carefully calibrated to be effective without causing unnecessary discomfort. Treatment progresses in stages, and Dr. Egger monitors every shift at each visit to ensure results stay exactly on track.
Benefits of Braces for Maple Hills Families
For Maple Hills children, teens, and adults who want reliable, precise orthodontic treatment from a specialist right in their own community, braces remain one of the most trusted options available.
Works Without Patient Input
Unlike aligners, braces do not depend on the patient remembering to wear them. Treatment progresses consistently regardless of age or compliance habits.
Best for Growing Patients
For children and younger teens whose teeth and jaws are still developing, braces allow Dr. Egger to guide growth with precision that removable systems cannot match.
Handles the Toughest Cases
Significant crowding, bite corrections, jaw alignment, and rotations are all addressed more effectively with fixed braces than with most aligner systems.
Metal or Ceramic Your Choice
Stainless steel brackets for maximum durability, or tooth-colored ceramic brackets for a far more discreet appearance. Both available at the same specialist standard.

Egger Orthodontics does not offer general dentistry. Every resource, every appointment, and every clinical decision reflects a practice dedicated entirely to orthodontics.

The Braces Process at Egger Orthodontics
For Maple Hills patients, the short distance to the practice makes it easy to combine appointments and keep the overall number of trips to a minimum. The team plans your schedule with that efficiency in mind from the start.
Step 1: Free Consultation
Dr. Nadine Egger reviews your teeth, bite, jaw alignment, and development stage at no cost. She gives you a clear recommendation on which type of braces suits your case, a realistic treatment timeline, and a complete cost breakdown.
Step 2: Clinical Records Appointment
Digital X-rays and clinical photographs are taken to build the foundation of your personalised treatment plan. Dr. Egger maps every stage of planned tooth movement before anything is placed, so the path from start to finish is clear before treatment begins.
Step 3: Braces Fitted
Brackets are bonded to your teeth at a single appointment. Dr. Egger explains first-week expectations, which foods to avoid, and how to maintain oral hygiene around brackets and wires. The full care guide is also on our braces care page.
Step 4: Regular Adjustments Every 4 to 6 Weeks
At each visit, Dr. Egger advances treatment by adjusting or replacing the archwire. These appointments are brief, typically 20 to 30 minutes, and easy to slot around Maple Hills school and family schedules.
Step 5: Braces Off and Retainers Fitted
When teeth reach their final positions, brackets are removed and teeth are polished at the same appointment. Custom retainers are fitted immediately to hold your results, along with a personalised wear schedule from Dr. Egger.

Frequently Asked Questions About Braces near Maple Hills
Questions Maple Hills and Issaquah families commonly ask before starting braces at Egger Orthodontics.
How close is Egger Orthodontics to Maple Hills?
Egger Orthodontics is right here in Issaquah, just a few minutes from Maple Hills. The drive to SE 64th Place takes under 10 minutes from the neighbourhood. Early morning appointments from 7:00 AM on select days mean Maple Hills families can schedule around school and work without difficulty.
My child is seven. Is it too early to bring them in?
Not at all. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic evaluation at age seven. At this stage, Dr. Egger can identify developing issues with bite alignment, jaw growth, or spacing while there is still time to manage them most effectively. Early assessment does not always mean early treatment, but it keeps the most options open.
How do I choose between metal and ceramic braces?
Metal braces are the most durable and straightforward option, and are often the clinical preference for younger patients or more complex cases. Ceramic brackets use tooth-colored material that blends with the enamel, making them significantly less visible and a popular choice for older teens and adults.
What happens if a bracket comes off during treatment?
A loose or detached bracket should be addressed promptly. Contact Egger Orthodontics as soon as possible to arrange a repair appointment. Treatment can sometimes be affected if a bracket is off for an extended period. Dr. Egger covers what to do in this situation at the fitting appointment so Maple Hills families know exactly how to handle it if it happens.
How does braces care affect daily routines?
The main adjustments are brushing after every meal, cleaning between brackets with an interdental brush or floss threader, and avoiding hard and sticky foods. Most patients adapt quickly. Full guidance is on our braces care page, and Dr. Egger walks every patient through the routine in detail at the fitting appointment.
