Braces
Braces are a time-tested orthodontic solution for correcting misaligned teeth, improving bite function, and enhancing your smile’s appearance. They work by applying gentle, continuous pressure to gradually shift teeth into their proper positions over time.
Modern braces come in a variety of options, including traditional metal braces, ceramic braces that blend with your teeth, and even lingual braces placed behind the teeth. Braces can address a wide range of concerns, from crowding and gaps to overbites and underbites, delivering long-lasting results.
While wearing braces, regular adjustments ensure progress and allow your orthodontist to fine-tune your treatment. With proper care and hygiene, braces can transform your smile and boost your confidence. If you're considering braces, consult your dentist or orthodontist to explore the best option for your needs.
