Orthodontic Care – Dental Braces:
Dental braces are orthodontic devices used to correct misaligned teeth and jaws, improving both function and appearance. They are an effective solution for a variety of dental issues, including crowded or crooked teeth, gaps, and bite problems.
Why Choose Dental Braces?
- Corrects Misalignment: Braces straighten teeth and align the jaws for a healthier bite.
- Improves Oral Health: Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
- Enhances Appearance: Straight teeth and a well-aligned jaw enhance your smile and overall facial aesthetics.
- Boosts Confidence: A beautiful smile can improve self-esteem and confidence.
Types of Dental Braces
- Clear Aligners: Removable, clear plastic trays (such as Invisalign) that gradually move teeth into the desired position without the need for metal brackets and wires.
- Metal Braces: Traditional braces made of high-grade stainless steel. These are the most common type and are highly effective for complex cases
- .Self-Ligating Braces: Use a sliding mechanism instead of elastics to hold the wire, resulting in fewer adjustments and potentially shorter treatment times.
- Ceramic Braces: Similar to metal braces but with clear or tooth-colored brackets that blend in with your teeth, making them less noticeable.
- Damon Braces: A type of self-ligating brace that is more comfortable and requires fewer adjustments.

- Treatment Plan: A customized treatment plan is created based on your specific needs and goals.
- Placement of Braces: Braces are placed on your teeth, and instructions for care and maintenance are provided.
