Braces
What is it?
Orthodontic braces gently and steadily apply pressure to shift your teeth into the correct alignment for an improved smile and bite. Braces are an effective way to treat crowding, spacing, overjet teeth, an underbite or a crossbite. Treatment not only offers cosmetic benefits – hello, stunning smile!
Who it’s for:
Braces are suitable for children, teenagers, and adults of all ages who wish to straighten their teeth, improve their oral health, or correct functional bite issues. While often associated with adolescence, about 20% of orthodontic patients are over the age of 18.
How the procedure works:
Braces work by applying constant, gentle pressure to the teeth over an extended period (typically 1–3 years), which triggers a biological process called bone remodeling. This pressure gradually moves the teeth, causing the underlying jawbone to break down in front of the movement and rebuild behind it.
Comfort and safety
Comfort and safety braces refer to two distinct categories of products designed to improve user experience, reduce pain, and enhance protection, either in orthodontic treatment or for physical body support.
