Braces

The objective of braces is to correctly align the teeth to give the patient an aligned bite and attractive smile. Braces consist of wires and metal or ceramic brackets that are attached to the teeth and apply force or pressure which will gradually shift the teeth to the desired position.
Braces help with multiple issues including:
Excessive spacing between teeth
Crooked or crowded teeth
Underbite and overbite
Crossbite
Correct alignment of the teeth and jaws help improve the appearance of the teeth, oral health, eating and speaking.
Braces can be metal, ceramic or self ligating.
