Braces can correct a wide range of dental issues, including crooked, gapped, rotated or crowded teeth. There are several types of braces, including traditional metal braces, ceramic braces and clear aligners like Invisalign®. Braces improve your smile’s health, function and appearance.
Braces treatment, also known as orthodontic treatment, involves the use of orthodontic appliances to straighten and align crooked or misaligned teeth. Traditional braces consist of metal brackets bonded to the teeth, connected by wires and elastic bands. These components apply gentle pressure to gradually move the teeth into the desired position over time. Braces can correct various orthodontic issues, such as overcrowding, gaps between teeth, overbites, underbites, and crossbites.
