Comprehensive Orthodontic Treatment

For comprehensive orthodontic treatment, most commonly, metal wires are inserted into orthodontic brackets which can be made from stainless steel or a more aesthetic ceramic material. The wires interact with the brackets to move teeth into the desired positions. Other methods may include invisalign. Invisalign consists of clear plastic aligners that move teeth.

Dental Braces

Dental braces (also known as orthodontic braces, or braces) are devices used in orthodontics that align and straighten teeth and help to position them with regard to a person's bite, while also working to improve dental health. They are often used to correct underbites, as well as malocclusions, overbites, cross bites, open bites, deep bites, crooked teeth, and various other flaws of the teeth and jaw. Braces can be either cosmetic or structural. Dental braces are often used in conjunction with other orthodontic appliances to help widen the palate or jaws and to otherwise assist in shaping the teeth and jaws.

Typical treatment times vary from six months to two and a half years depending on the complexity and types of problems. About 2 weeks before the braces are applied, orthodontic spacers are required to spread apart back teeth in order to create enough space for the bands.
