Dental braces are orthodontic devices used to align and straighten teeth, correct bite issues, and improve overall dental health and aesthetics. They apply continuous pressure over time to gradually move teeth into the desired position. Braces are commonly used during adolescence, but they are also suitable for adults looking to improve their smiles or correct long-standing dental concerns. Modern braces come in various types, such as metal braces, ceramic braces, lingual braces, and clear aligners, offering different options based on the patient’s needs and preferences. Beyond appearance, properly aligned teeth can reduce the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and jaw problems. At Maitreyi Dental, orthodontic treatment is tailored to each individual through careful planning and the use of advanced diagnostic tools like digital X-rays and 3D imaging. Braces are not just a cosmetic treatment—they contribute significantly to oral functionality, helping improve speech, chewing efficiency, and even facial symmetry in some cases. Maitreyi Dental emphasizes that a good orthodontic treatment plan can reduce the risk of more serious complications later in life.
