How Braces Straighten Your Teeth

Braces are commonly used by dentists to correct dental irregularities such as crooked teeth and misaligned bites. They work by applying continuous pressure to teeth, causing them to move and the bone to reshape.

Alternatives like retainers or surgery may be recommended based on the severity of the case.
