What are Orthodontic Braces?
Orthodontic braces are dental tools used to correct crowded and crooked teeth, or a misaligned jaw. Many people get braces in their early teenage years, but adults can also benefit from them. The goal of orthodontic treatment is to improve your bite and the alignment of your teeth, leading to a healthier and more aesthetically pleasing smile.
Braces work by applying continuous pressure over a period of time to slowly move teeth in a specific direction. As the teeth move, the bone changes shape to accommodate the new positions. This process requires regular adjustments by an orthodontist to ensure the teeth are moving correctly and efficiently.
