Braces
This appliance works by placing gentle pressure on the teeth. The severity of your problem will determine which orthodontic approach is likely to be the most effective.
Which Dental Conditions Require Braces?
Braces can be used on a number of conditions where the teeth need to be moved into a new position. These include crooked teeth, crowded teeth, large gaps between teeth, overbites, and openbite.

Treatment Process
Orthodontic treatment will need control once a month, and length of the treatment will depend on the case and the tooth’s movement (different in every person). After the treatment is done, you will need to use retainer (fixed/removable – acrylic/clear).
Caring for braces
It generally takes more time and effort to maintain your oral health while wearing braces. Since food trap will often occur, you, must clean out carefully and diligently. You need to brush your teeth, floss and use mouthwash after every meal and snack. Use a small bendable floss brush to clean between and around wires or it may be worthwhile to purchase a water flosser that cleans using a pressurized stream of water.
