Metal Braces

Metal braces are an orthodontic treatment that may help align crooked or overcrowded teeth. Braces also have an important role in improving oral health.

Malocclusion — the misalignment of a person’s teeth and bite — may lead to health problems, such as jaw problems, chewing or speech issues, or gum disease.

Braces help align a person’s teeth and bite. This orthodontic treatment helps teeth gradually move back into the correct position over time.

Other brace treatments have become increasingly popular, including ceramic, lingual, and Invisalign. A person should discuss these options with their orthodontist to determine the best strategy.
