Overview
About Dental Braces and Orthodontics
Dental braces are orthodontic appliances that gradually move your teeth into better positions over time. They use gentle, continuous pressure through brackets and an archwire.
Braces do more than improve appearance. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, and a corrected bite can reduce uneven wear, jaw strain, and chewing difficulty.
