Braces are dental devices used by orthodontists to straighten teeth, correct bites (overbite, underbite, crossbite), and improve overall dental alignment.
Types of Braces:
- Metal Braces – Traditional stainless-steel brackets; most noticeable but effective and durable.
- Clear Aligners (e.g., Invisalign) – Custom, removable trays that gradually move teeth.
How Long Do Braces Stay On?
- Typically 1 to 3 years, depending on the complexity of the case.
- Followed by wearing retainers to keep teeth in place.
