What are Braces ?

Traditional braces are orthodontic appliances consisting of brackets, wires, and bands that work together to gradually move your teeth into their proper positions. Clear aligners, which are removable and nearly invisible, may also be an option. Both traditional braces and clear aligners work by applying gentle pressure to your teeth over time. However, traditional metal braces may allow you to complete treatment quicker and even achieve better outcomes.

Braces can correct misalignments, close gaps, and improve your bite. The best way to know which option is best for you is to talk to your dentist.

Braces are important for oral health because misaligned teeth and jaws can contribute to issues such as tooth decay, gum disease, jaw pain and even headaches. Don’t let orthodontic issues keep you back from achieving a healthier smile and happier you. 

The importance of Orthodontics:

Are you missing teeth, or having problems with an ill-fitting denture or bridge? If so, you should consider dental implants.

• Prevent Dental Complications: Misaligned teeth and jaws can lead to dental problems, including tooth decay, gum disease, and even tooth loss.

• Improve Oral Function: Properly aligned teeth and jaws can significantly improve oral function. You’ll find it easier to bite, chew, and speak properly.

• Alleviate Stress on TMJ: Orthodontics are effective in correcting bite problems or misalignment of the teeth and jaws. This can help reduce strain on the TMJ.

• Promote Overall Health: Oral health is linked to overall health. Untreated orthodontic problems can contribute to systemic health issues like heart disease and diabetes.
