BRACES
Braces also known as brackets are used to fix crooked teeth, spacing and bite 
problems. 
They are fixed into the teeth using an adhesive and on them we fix wires which help 
the 
teeth to move in the direction where is required to move. 
 
Braces or brackets are available as metal braces or ceramic braces. The basic 
difference between the two is that metal braces show more and ceramic braces show 
less, the difference is aesthetics.
Braces also known as orthodontist treatment should always be done by specialist who is an orth
odontist. An orthodontist is a doctor who has done his/ her post-graduation of 3 Years in the 
field of orthodontic treatment post his bachelors in dentistry.  
With the aesthetic demand increasing and people getting more aware regarding orthodontic 
treatment it should also made aware that braces are not only for enhancing your aesthetic they are 
also sometimes required for functional improvements like improving the bite to eat and chew food 
properly, correct crowded teeth which can result in  cavities due to food lodgment and bad oral 
hygiene, it is always advisable to get a consultation with an orthodontist who can make you 
understand the problem and advise a solution.
Another myth that is very common amongst all is that orthodontist treatment or braces treatment 
can be done only at very young age. Although it is myth orthodontic or braces treatment can be 
used to treat patients at any age. But it is always advisable to consult an orthodontist at a young
