Braces

Overview

Braces use gentle, sustained pressure to move teeth into better alignment over time. They can address crowding, spacing and bite issues — improving how your teeth work as well as how they look.

Orthodontic treatment is a journey with regular adjustments. Your dentist or orthodontist will assess your bite and outline realistic timing and options for your case.
