Orthodontic braces are the best solution to ensure your teenager can enjoy a healthy and straight smile. Braces are often used to correct under bites, malocclusions (misaligned teeth), over bites, cross bites and crooked teeth.
Orthodontic treatment involves the design and use of corrective appliances such as dental braces, plates and micro implants, among others. Braces move the teeth by exerting a constant light pressure to them. In response to pressure, a tooth will move slowly through the jaw bone. This process will cause some tenderness, but most people report that the discomfort is minor. Current technology means that the braces and other appliances used today are more comfortable, ‘fashionable’ and effective than ever before.
