Questions & Answers

Braces

arrow-down
What are braces?

Braces treatment consists of a system of metal brackets, bands and wires that work together to gently realign your teeth and move them into their ideal positions. Traditionally, the brackets are attached to the front surfaces of your teeth and connected using the wire and bands. As the wire is adjusted, your teeth gradually realign. Braces are the most common orthodontic treatment available and are a good option for virtually everyone seeking orthodontic care.
