Braces

What are Braces?

Dental braces are appliances used to align or straighten teeth and guide them to the correct position. They consist of wires, brackets, and bands. Braces correct irregular tooth positioning, jaw alignment, chewing efficiency, and smile aesthetics.

Who needs them?

If you have crooked teeth, a misaligned bite (underbite or overbite), braces or retainers can help. While general dentists do basic alignment, orthodontists specialize in correcting complex issues with 2-3 years of advanced training.
