Understanding Braces
Braces are an orthodontic treatment that uses brackets, wires, and gentle forces to move teeth into better positions. By guiding teeth with steady pressure, braces improve alignment, correct crowding or spacing, and help address overbites, underbites, and crossbites.
Today's options include classic metal braces as well as low-profile ceramic braces that blend in with your smile. Whether you are considering teen braces or adult braces, treatment plans are tailored to your needs and timeline.
