Introduction:

Braces and orthodontic treatment are dental procedures used to correct crooked teeth, gaps, and improper bite alignment. This treatment helps improve the appearance of the smile and also supports better oral health by making teeth easier to clean and maintain.

How Dentists Do It:

Dentists first examine the teeth position and jaw alignment, then take X-rays or scans to create a proper treatment plan. After that, braces (brackets and wires) or other orthodontic appliances are fixed to the teeth and adjusted regularly to slowly move the teeth into the correct position over time.
