What is Braces Treatment?
Braces treatment is an orthodontic treatment to correct crowding, irregular posture or jaw malalignment. This treatment is carried out using special devices such as wires and brackets. Braces treatment allows the teeth and jaws to be brought into the desired position and helps to achieve a healthier bite, chewing function and aesthetic appearance.
The main goal of the treatment is to straighten the teeth and bring them into proper alignment. Proper alignment of the teeth and jaws positively affects oral health and can prevent potential future problems. Braces are usually worn for a certain period of time, followed by regular check-ups to monitor the progress of the treatment and the appliances are removed when the treatment is completed.
