What Are Orthodontic Braces?
Orthodontic braces are dental appliances used to straighten teeth and correct bite problems such as crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, and crossbite. Braces work by applying gentle, controlled pressure over time to gradually move teeth into proper alignment, improving both smile aesthetics and oral function.
Modern orthodontic braces are more comfortable and customisable than ever before. At the Center for Invisible Braces & Invisalign®, braces treatment is carefully planned based on each patient’s age, dental condition, and lifestyle needs.
