Braces treatment, also known as orthodontic treatment, is a dental procedure used to straighten or align teeth and improve their appearance and functionality. Braces are devices that apply continuous pressure to gradually move teeth into the desired position. They can be made of metal, ceramic, or plastic and are attached to the teeth using adhesive. Braces are commonly used to correct crooked teeth, crowded teeth, overbites, underbites, and jaw misalignments. Treatment duration can vary depending on the severity of the issue, but typically lasts from one to three years. Regular adjustments are required to ensure the teeth are moving properly. After braces are removed, a retainer may be recommended to maintain the new position of the teeth..
