Orthodontic braces, also known as dental braces, are devices used to correct misaligned teeth and jaws, leading to improved oral health, function, and appearance. They work by gradually shifting teeth into proper alignment, offering both aesthetic and health benefits. Treatment options include metal, ceramic, and clear aligners, each designed for specific needs. Regular visits to the orthodontist are essential for adjustments, and treatment usually lasts 12 to 24 months. Benefits of braces include better bite function, easier oral hygiene, prevention of long-term dental issues, and boosted confidence through a more aligned smile.
