Understanding Traditional Braces
Traditional braces are a time-tested method for straightening teeth. They consist of small brackets affixed to each tooth, connected by wires. These wires are periodically adjusted to gently guide your teeth into their ideal positions. Available in durable stainless steel or discreet ceramic options, traditional braces offer a solution for everyone.
The Benefits of Traditional Braces
Opting for traditional braces goes beyond cosmetic improvements; they are highly effective in correcting various dental and bite issues. This not only enhances oral health but also simplifies teeth cleaning, improves your bite, and boosts your self-esteem with a radiant smile.
