Orthodontic braces, commonly called braces, are dental devices used to correct misaligned teeth and jaws. They work by applying continuous pressure over a period of time to gradually move teeth into a desired position. Braces can improve both the appearance of teeth and overall oral health by correcting issues like overcrowding, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and gaps between teeth.

Benefits:

• Improved dental alignment and bite functionality.
• Enhanced aesthetics and self-confidence.
• Prevention of long-term oral health issues, such as tooth decay or gum disease, caused by misalignment.

Braces are typically worn for 1-3 years, depending on the complexity of the case, and regular adjustments are necessary to monitor progress and ensure effectiveness.
