Braces Treatment (Fixed Orthodontics)
The controlled alignment of teeth using metal or ceramic brackets.
Braces treatment works by placing small brackets on the teeth and connecting them with archwires that gently guide the teeth into their planned positions. For patients with higher esthetic expectations, ceramic brackets may be preferred.
