Braces

 

Braces straighten teeth by applying steady pressure to your teeth over a period of time. Metal braces have brackets and wires, and may also have rubber bands, all working together to keep pressure on the teeth and move them into the correct position. Today, there are a wide variety of braces available, including clear aligners, traditional metal braces and ceramic braces which have a clear bracket. When the braces come off you may have to wear a retainer for a period of time, which is like a thin mouthguard fitted over your teeth to help them settle in their new positions and prevents them from moving back to their old positions.
