Traditional braces are used for treating malocclusion or misaligned teeth, which is a common oral concern that can occur in individuals of all ages. Malocclusion affects both oral functionality and the aesthetics of your smile. Getting malocclusion treated at a younger age usually renders better results that can last for a lifetime.
However, no matter your age, you can still benefit from treatment. If you schedule a consultation, our dentists would be happy to provide a diagnosis and recommend the best treatment plan.
Braces are orthodontic appliances that have been around for many decades now. They are often the first choice that comes to mind when people think about treating crooked teeth, and rightly so.
Traditional braces are composed of brackets and wires and work on the principle of applying pressure on the teeth in a controlled manner to move them to their correct or desired position. The brackets are attached to the teeth using dental adhesives and the wires run through them. The ends of the wires are connected to a stable support. During treatment, your dentist will vary the pressure applied on the teeth by tightening or loosening the wires.
