What are braces?

Braces have a combination of brackets, bands, and wires to straighten teeth and cure dental problems by providing pressure to the teeth. Braces help to correct the position of the teeth into straight and a variety of orthodontic issues.

How do braces work?

Braces work in straightening the teeth. It applies pressure to the teeth and jaws to correct the position. Over time, the pressure applied by braces forces teeth to move into alignment and alter the smile’s appearance. This can also correct the dental issues, including crooked, gapped, and other related problems.

Types of braces
