Type of Braces
How Do Braces work?
Braces use mild, constant pressure to shift your teeth into their proper positions over time. The exact way this happens depends on the type of braces you choose.
Do I need Braces?
If you are experiencing alignment issues like crossbite, spacing, crowding, underbite, overbite, or deep bite, you could face challenges in maintaining proper oral hygiene and biting difficulty.
These difficulties may increase the risk of following dental issues:
-
Tooth decay
-
Gum recession
-
Gum bleeding
-
Irregular wear to the enamel
In such cases, improving your tooth alignment with braces can be a viable solution to address these concerns and enhance your oral health.
What To Expect Before Putting Your Braces On?
Before putting on braces, you'll need to see your dentist for consultation first. This initial visit involves:
-
Talking about your dental and general health.

-
Having molds made of your teeth for the braces.

Creating a treatment plan that specifies the type of braces, what to expect during treatment, how to care for your braces, and the overall schedule.
