Braces

Dental braces are orthodontic appliances that are used to straighten teeth and correct bite problems. Traditional braces consist of metal brackets that are bonded to the teeth and connected by wires and small rubber bands. The brackets are adjusted periodically by the orthodontist to gradually move the teeth into their desired position.

Braces can be used to correct a wide range of orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, spacing issues, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Treatment times vary depending on the complexity of the case, but most treatments take between 18 months and 2 years to complete.

In addition to traditional metal braces, there are other types of braces available, including ceramic braces that blend in with the color of the teeth, lingual braces that are attached to the back of the teeth, and clear aligners such as Invisalign.

Braces can provide a functional and cosmetically appealing solution for orthodontic issues, improving the ability to eat and speak, and enhancing the appearance of the smile.

Your dentist or orthodontist can provide guidance on the best type of braces for your individual needs and can help you prepare for and maintain your treatment.
