How do braces work?
Braces use small brackets and a wire to apply gentle, steady pressure that moves your teeth into better positions over time. Regular adjustment visits keep your treatment on track until your teeth are where they should be.
It may help if you have
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps between your teeth
- Teeth that stick out
- A bite that doesn't meet comfortably
