Braces are orthodontic devices used to align and straighten teeth, improving both their appearance and function. Determining whether braces are necessary involves assessing various factors related to the alignment, spacing, and bite of the teeth.
Orthodontic treatment with braces can offer numerous benefits, including enhanced oral health, improved aesthetics, and increased self-confidence. Historically, braces were primarily made of metal, but advancements have led to the development of more discreet and comfortable options such as ceramic and lingual braces.
