Why Choose Braces?
What Are Braces?
Braces use gentle, consistent pressure to gradually move your teeth into better alignment. Components include:
- Brackets: Small attachments bonded to each tooth.
- Arch wire: A wire threaded through the brackets to guide movement.
- Ligatures or Bands: Elastic ties that hold the wire in place.
- Optional Appliances: Expanders or elastics may be added to support jaw alignment.
Today’s braces are more discreet and comfortable than ever before, making treatment easier for patients of all ages.
