Braces are orthodontic devices used to align and straighten teeth,
improve dental health, and enhance a person's smile. They consist of
brackets, wires, and bands that work together to apply gentle pressure
to the teeth, gradually moving them into the correct position. Braces
can correct a variety of dental issues, including crowded or crooked
teeth, gaps, and bite problems. They are commonly used in children and
teenagers, but can also be effective for adults. Proper care and
maintenance of braces is important for achieving the best possible
results.
