Braces

What Are Braces?

Braces are orthodontic devices used to correct misaligned teeth and jaws, ensuring both function and aesthetics are improved over time. They apply continuous pressure over a period of time to slowly move teeth in a specific direction.

Why Might You Need Braces?

Braces are recommended to correct:

• Overcrowding
• Misaligned teeth
• Overbites or underbites
• Jaw correction

Types of Braces Available

Traditional Metal Braces

These are the most common type of braces, made of high-grade stainless steel which straightens your teeth using metal brackets and archwires. They are reliable and effective.

Ceramic braces

Ceramic braces function similarly to metal braces but are crafted from composite materials that blend with the teeth’s natural color, making them less noticeable.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are an alternative to braces that use clear, flexible plastic trays to adjust teeth. They are removable and nearly invisible.
