What Are Braces for Teeth, and How Do They Work?

How Do Braces Work?

Braces work by applying continuous, gentle pressure to slowly move teeth into their correct positions over time. They consist of brackets bonded to teeth, connected by wires that guide tooth movement.

Types of Braces Available

Modern orthodontics offers several types of braces:

• Metal braces — most common, effective, and affordable
• Ceramic braces — tooth-colored, less visible
• Lingual braces — placed behind teeth, invisible from the front
• Self-ligating braces — use clips instead of elastic bands
• Clear aligners (Invisalign) — removable and nearly invisible

Treatment Duration

Orthodontic treatment typically takes 12 to 36 months, depending on the complexity of the case. Regular adjustments every 4-6 weeks ensure steady progress. DANI Dental Clinics offers all types of braces. Call 95979 06838 for a consultation.
