Braces Application

Braces are a treatment used to properly align teeth and correct jaw structure. Braces consist of metal or ceramic wires placed over the teeth, which move the teeth into the desired alignment.

Braces are used to correct misaligned teeth, jaw irregularities, and misalignments between teeth. This treatment method is suitable for all ages, from children to adults.

The application of braces generally includes the following steps:

1. Evaluation of teeth and jaw structure: The dentist determines the treatment plan by examining the patient's teeth and jaw structure.
2. Attaching braces: Metal or ceramic wires are bonded to the teeth and these wires allow the teeth to move.
3. Wire adjustments: Throughout the treatment process, the dentist will regularly adjust the wires and make any necessary corrections.
4. Braces removal: Once treatment is complete, the braces are removed, leaving the patient with properly aligned teeth.

The duration of braces can vary depending on the complexity of the treatment and the patient's condition. It typically lasts between 1 and 3 years.

While braces may cause some aesthetic issues, they ultimately result in well-aligned, healthy teeth. Consult your dentist to determine the most appropriate treatment option for you.
