Braces

Dental braces are devices used in orthodontics that align and straighten teeth and help position them with regard to a person's bite, while also aiming to improve dental health. Braces also fix gaps.

The Health Benefits of Braces

Straight teeth not only boost self-esteem and confidence, but they can also have numerous health advantages. When teeth become crowded or improperly spaced, maintaining proper oral hygiene becomes increasingly challenging and increases risk for gum disease and tooth loss.


Crowded or crooked teeth may wear unevenly over time, increasing risk to their structure. Aligning them correctly not only creates an improved bite but can reduce stress and strain that lead to headaches or jaw pain as well as necessitating additional dental care services.

Braces correct issues such as:

  • Gapped teeth
  • Crowded or crooked teeth
  • Misaligned teeth
  • Problems with the bite, including crossbite, open bite, underbite and overbite

Common health benefits of braces:

  • Ability to chew food properly
  • Improve speech impairment
  • Less grinding and risk of chipped teeth
  • Reduced risk of injury from protruding teeth
