What Are Braces?

Braces are orthodontic appliances used to gradually move teeth into proper alignment and improve bite function. They consist of small brackets attached to the teeth and connected by wires that apply controlled pressure over time. This steady movement allows teeth and jaws to shift into healthier positions. Treatment length typically ranges from 12 to 36 months, depending on the complexity of the alignment concerns.

Benefits

Benefits of Braces

Orthodontic treatment with braces supports both the appearance and function of your smile. Correcting alignment issues can improve daily comfort while protecting your long-term oral health.

Straightens Tooth Alignment

Braces gently reposition crowded, crooked, or spaced teeth to create a more balanced and uniform smile.

Supports Proper Bite Balance

Correcting bite issues such as overbites, underbites, and crossbites helps improve chewing efficiency and reduces strain on the jaw.

Promotes Lasting Oral Health

Well-aligned teeth are easier to clean, which helps lower the risk of cavities, gum disease, and uneven tooth wear over time.
