Dental braces are devices used in orthodontics that align and straighten teeth and help position them with regard to a person's bite, while also aiming to improve dental health.They are small brackets stuck at specific positions on the tooth and a metal wire is passed through their slots. Braces also fix gaps. They are often used to correct underbites, as well as malocclusions, overbites, open bites, deep bites, cross bites, crooked teeth, and various other flaws of the teeth and jaw. Braces can be either cosmetic or structural. Dental braces are often used in conjunction with other orthodontic appliances to help widen the palate or jaws and to otherwise assist in shaping the teeth and jaws. Braces are orthodontic devices used to correct misaligned teeth and jaw positions. They work by applying continuous, gentle pressure over time to gradually move teeth into proper alignment. Braces not only improve the appearance of the smile but also enhance oral health by making teeth easier to clean and reducing the risk of dental problems. They can be made of metal, ceramic, or clear materials, depending on patient needs and preferences.
