Services Types of Braces

Braces

Braces, also known as dental braces or orthodontic braces, are devices used to align, rotate, and straighten teeth. They are also used to help position teeth with regard to a person’s bite and to improve dental health.

Establishing a proper bite by eliminating dental issues using braces can also prevent other health problems such as headaches and TMJ as well as potential digestive issues. Untreated bite issues increase muscular and skeletal stress which can cause strain on your supporting bone and tissue resulting in a lifetime of health issues. Aligned teeth create a more perfect bite, are easier to keep clean, and make chewing more efficient which aids better digestion.
