Braces (Brackets)

The most common type of braces is the slot bracket (brackets). Metal or transparent brackets are glued onto the teeth and molars. A metal or transparent wire is placed through the brackets. The dentist or orthodontist determines the thickness of the wire during each check-up. To ensure the wire is tightly positioned between the brackets, elastic bands are placed. You can choose the color of the elastic bands yourself. The wire and elastic bands will gradually move your teeth until they are in the desired position. You will come for a check-up every month, so the dentist or orthodontist can closely monitor the progress of the treatment.

What Are Braces?

Braces are orthodontic devices that gradually apply pressure to your teeth, helping them move into the correct position. This treatment not only improves the appearance of your smile but also contributes to better oral health, improved chewing function, and speech. Braces are suitable for children, adolescents, and adults, depending on your teeth and jaw alignment.

Benefits of Braces

  • Correcting crooked or crowded teeth

  • Improving bite and jaw alignment

  • Better oral hygiene and lower risk of dental problems

  • Aesthetic, long-lasting results

  • Increased self-confidence through a straight smile
