What are braces?

Braces are a popular way to straighten teeth and fix bite issues. They use metal brackets and wires that gently move your teeth into place over time. Whether your teeth are crooked, have gaps, or don’t line up properly, braces can help make your smile look and feel better. While it can take some time—usually months or a couple of years—the end result is a healthier, straighter smile that you'll be proud to show off!

What are the advantages of braces?

Braces offer some advantages, including:

• Straighter Teeth: Braces help align crooked or uneven teeth, giving you a smoother, more attractive smile.

• Improved Bite: They can correct bite issues like overbite, underbite, or crossbite, helping your teeth fit together properly.

• Better Oral Health: Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.

• Enhanced Confidence: A straighter smile can boost your self-esteem and make you feel more comfortable when speaking or smiling.

• Long-Term Results: Once treatment is complete, braces provide lasting changes that can improve your bite and overall dental health.

• Prevention of Future Dental Problems: Braces can fix alignment issues that might lead to more serious dental problems down the road, such as wear on teeth or jaw pain.

• Improved Function: They can help with chewing, speaking, and even breathing more comfortably if misaligned teeth were causing problems.
