Orthodontics

Braces are used by orthodontists to treat several conditions, including crooked and crowded teeth, along with misaligned jaws. Generally, braces are installed during early adolescence, when they are most effective. However, we are recently witnessing a growing trend where adults are using braces to correct dental alignment issues later in life. In terms of materials used, braces can be made out of wires, ceramic, metal, and a bonding material that fixes them onto the patient’s teeth.
