Braces
Dental braces are made up of brackets and wires, and they are highly effective in addressing complex alignment problems, closing gaps, and straightening teeth for both adolescents and adults.
Types of Orthodontic Braces
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces, which include small brackets and wires, are known for their high effectiveness.
Clear Braces
Clear ceramic brackets provide a discreet, nearly invisible solution for teeth alignment.

Braces are a highly effective orthodontic treatment designed to correct misaligned teeth, close gaps, and improve overall dental health.

How long will I need to wear braces?
The duration of orthodontic treatment varies depending on individual needs. On average, most people wear braces for 18 to 24 months, but some cases may require more or less time. Your orthodontist will provide a personalized treatment plan.
Do braces hurt?
Braces may cause some discomfort, especially after adjustments, but the pain is usually mild and temporary. Over-the-counter pain relievers and orthodontic wax can help ease irritation. Most patients adjust to their braces within a few days.
What foods should I avoid with braces?
To prevent damage to your braces, avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods such as nuts, popcorn, caramel, and chewing gum. Cutting food into smaller pieces and opting for softer options can help protect your braces.
