Braces are a widely recognized orthodontic treatment that offers an effective solution for achieving a straighter smile. They use a combination of metal brackets, bands and wires to gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions. This method has been trusted for decades to correct various dental issues, making it a reliable choice for many patients.
Traditional braces involve affixing metal brackets to the front of your teeth, which are then connected by wires and bands. These wires are periodically adjusted to apply gentle pressure, guiding your teeth into alignment over time. This process not only improves the appearance of your smile but also enhances oral health by addressing problems that can lead to more serious issues if left untreated.
Common orthodontic problems that braces can correct include:
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps and spaces between teeth
- Misaligned teeth
- Malocclusion (bad bites), including crossbites, open bites, underbites and overbites
While traditional metal braces are popular, advancements in orthodontics have introduced more discreet options. Ceramic braces, for example, use tooth-colored materials that blend with your natural teeth, making them less noticeable. Lingual braces are another alternative, placed on the inside surfaces of your teeth, making them virtually invisible from the outside.
