read moreCrooked teeth have a major impact on the quality of your smile and can significantly decrease your confidence. They can increase your risk for tooth decay and gum disease, providing hiding places for oral bacteria and plaque that are difficult to fully clean, and can lead to tooth grinding, TMJ disorder, and even neck and back pain. Metal braces have long been the treatment of choice for correcting crooked teeth and jaws. However, many individuals who want straighter teeth avoid treatment because they do not want to deal with metal in their smile.

Braces use small brackets, traditionally metal, that are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. A wire spans across the arch of teeth, attached to each bracket with the assistance of an elastic O-ring, or ligature. The goal of braces is to not only straighten your teeth, which provides you with a more beautiful smile but also to improve your oral health as well. For your braces to do their job properly, it is essential that you take care of them.
