What Are Braces?

Braces are orthodontic appliances used to gradually guide teeth and jaws into proper alignment. They work by attaching brackets to the teeth and connecting them with wires that apply gentle, consistent pressure over time. This controlled movement helps correct crowding, spacing, and bite concerns. Patients may choose from several options, including traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, or other discreet alternatives, with treatment length typically ranging from 12 to 36 months depending on individual needs.

Benefits

Benefits of Braces

Braces provide lasting benefits that improve both appearance and function while supporting overall oral health.

Straightens Teeth Effectively

Braces correct crooked, crowded, or unevenly spaced teeth, creating a more balanced and attractive smile.

Improves Bite Alignment

Proper bite correction helps reduce jaw discomfort, supports efficient chewing, and minimizes uneven tooth wear.

Supports Long Term Oral Health

Aligned teeth are easier to clean, helping lower the risk of cavities, gum disease, and future dental complications.
