Braces

What are Braces?

Braces are orthodontic devices used to correct the alignment of teeth and jaws, ensuring a healthier, straighter smile. They are commonly made of metal, ceramic, or clear materials, and work by applying continuous pressure to gradually move teeth into the correct position.

Benefits of Braces

Braces not only improve the appearance of your smile but also enhance overall oral health. By correcting misalignment, they reduce the risk of gum disease, cavities, and jaw pain. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean and maintain, leading to long-term dental hygiene.

Who Needs Braces?

Braces are suitable for people of all ages, especially those with crooked, overcrowded, or misaligned teeth. Individuals with bite issues such as overbite, underbite, or crossbite can also benefit from orthodontic treatment using braces.

Duration of Treatment

The length of time required to complete treatment with braces varies depending on the complexity of the case. On average, braces are worn for 12 to 24 months, followed by the use of retainers to maintain the new position of the teeth.
