Orthodontic braces work by applying constant pressure to the teeth and jaws to shift their position and alter the smile’s appearance. Brackets fitted to the teeth secure an archwire, which puts pressure on the teeth. Over time, the pressure forces crooked teeth to move into alignment.

Braces can correct a wide range of dental issues, including crooked, gapped, rotated or crowded teeth. There are several types of braces, including traditional metal braces, ceramic braces and clear aligners like Invisalign. Braces improve your smile’s health, function and appearance.
