Braces

Traditionally, the term “braces” is an all-inclusive term referring to an orthodontic system consisting of specially manufactured brackets and wires that are placed on teeth for the duration of orthodontic treatment.  Brackets, which may be made of stainless steel (metal) or crystalline ceramic/porcelain (clear), house the orthodontic wire. An orthodontic rubber ligature called an “o-ring” or a stainless steel tie ensures that the wire stays in the bracket.  This high tech wire, usually made of a metal alloy, places a consistent, gentle force on each tooth to move it to an ideal position.
