You might have heard from people with misaligned teeth that they are getting braces for their teeth. What exactly are braces? Where can you get those? Do you need these for your teeth? Let’s discover.
Braces are a type of dental appliance which is used to bring misaligned teeth into alignment. They consist of metal wires and brackets (the bridge between metal wires and your teeth).
Your dentist changes the shape of wire used in braces, to get the desired symmetry and alignment of teeth. This may sound technical to you, but from a qualified dentists’ point of view, all of this is a piece of cake.
Although this treatment of using braces for teeth takes a longer time, in the end, you will get an esthetically pleasing smile.
Applying braces is a complex procedure, which is why a dental specialist known as Orthodontist is required to plan the treatment journey. Always keep in mind that you should never get your Orthodontic treatment (commonly known as braces treatment) done by a general dentist, as there is a slight risk of your treatment taking longer than usual or in the worst case, aggravation of your problem.

There are, however, some general conditions which can be corrected using braces . Some of them are listed below:
In some patients, their jaw size is smaller than the size of their teeth. This ultimately leads to looking like your teeth are overlapping each other. This is known as crowding of teeth.
You might have seen in a 9–11-year-old kid that they have spaces between their central teeth. This spacing is natural and need not to be worried about. However, some grown-ups also face this situation, which is not normal and requires treatment if that person is having esthetic concerns.
Have you ever crossed your fingers while telling a lie? The same abnormal phenomenon may happen to your teeth due to several reasons. Your upper teeth overlap the lower the lower teeth in this condition, known as overbite.
Underbite is basically the opposite of overbite. An underbite is when the lower teeth overlap the upper teeth. Apart from esthetic issues, this can lead to other drastic problems like jaw pain, difficulty in chewing, lack of confidence and poor oral hygiene leading to serious dental diseases.
a normal esthetic smile, there is a slight degree of overlap where upper teeth cover about 1/3 of the lower teeth. In open bite, this normal overlap does not exist. There is a visible gap between your front teeth (known as incisors), which is not esthetically pleasing.
In the normal architecture of tooth structure of mouth, the upper teeth (maxillary teeth) are a bit more (outward) inclined towards your cheeks than the lower teeth (mandibular teeth). Crossbite is a severe dental problem in which the lower teeth are more outwards than the upper teeth
The oldest form of braces used till date are these traditional braces. These consist of metal wires and metal brackets (connecting link between wire and teeth). They used to be very popular a few years ago, after which other more aesthetic braces were introduced.
These are still preferred by some patients who wish to have a metallic look on their teeth.
Ceramic braces are different from traditional metallic braces in that the brackets used in them are made from a material known as ceramic, which is tooth colored and gives the feeling that there is no appliance in mouth. It is most suitable for those patients who have aesthetic concerns and don’t want the metallic color of brackets to be displayed.
The lingual braces, as is clear from their name, are attached towards the lingual side of teeth (back side of teeth). They also overcome the problem of the metallic look of traditional braces.
Not specifically braces, but they are used to correct the malalignment of jaws (in case you have a narrow jaw). Mostly this treatment is used in growing children to correct developing crossbite.
