Description

Dental braces, also known as orthodontic braces, are devices used in orthodontics to align and straighten teeth, correct bite issues, and improve overall dental health. They are commonly used to treat conditions such as crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Braces work by applying continuous pressure to the teeth over time, gradually moving them into the desired position. The braces consist of brackets, bands, and wires. The brackets are attached to the teeth, and the wires are threaded through the brackets. Rubber bands or elastics may also be used to apply additional force to move specific teeth or correct bite alignment. There are different types of braces available, including traditional metal braces, ceramic braces (which are less visible), lingual braces (placed on the back of teeth), and clear aligners like Invisalign. The type of braces recommended depends on the individual's orthodontic needs and preferences .
