The right braces for you

What is Braces?

Braces (or bands) are orthodontic devices used to adjust teeth alignment and the bite. Braces consist of brackets and metal bands joined to a flexible wire. Changing and adjusting the wire results in tooth movement.

When to use Braces?

Most orthodontic problems can be successfully treated using braces. Braces have been the traditional form of treatment used by orthodontists for decades, but today’s streamlined braces come in a variety of models, usually stainless steel or tooth-coloured ceramic.
