Dental braces are considered by dental experts to be the optimal solution for misaligned teeth, bringing a beautiful, confident and radiant smile without any intervention or invasion into the structure of real teeth.
What are braces?
Braces are one of the popular dental services today, helping to effectively overcome dental defects by using appropriate fixed or removable appliances on the teeth. From there, appropriate pulling or pushing force is applied to move the teeth and arrange them into the correct position on the jaw.
Orthodontic braces are indicated when teeth have the following problems:
- Protruding teeth, underbite, buck teeth at many levels
- Teeth grow crooked, uneven, misaligned bite
- Gap teeth, large space between teeth
- Crooked teeth
Popular orthodontic methods
There are many cosmetic braces methods applied depending on the condition of the teeth, wishes and financial conditions of each person, the doctor will advise the appropriate method:
Braces
Braces are a traditional orthodontic method that works on the following principle: the brackets are fixed on the outside of the teeth, then an archwire is placed in the bracket slot and secured with dental elastics. The archwire and elastic create a pulling force on the teeth, helping them move and align to the correct position.
Although braces have been around for a long time, they are still chosen by many customers because of their outstanding advantages that modern methods cannot replace.
Braces are divided into many different types such as: conventional metal braces, ceramic braces, self-ligating braces, lingual braces… Depending on the condition of the teeth, the needs and finances of each customer, there will be the most suitable choice.
Invisalign
Invisalign (or invisible braces, clear braces) is a method of braces without the support of brackets or elastic bands. Instead, it uses clear aligners made from dental plastic, designed to hug the teeth to create moving force, thereby helping to realign misaligned teeth. The aligners are individually designed based on each person’s teeth and jaw shape.

Removable braces:
This method of braces is no longer commonly used. It is mainly indicated when you want to maintain orthodontic treatment after wearing braces or braces for children from 8 to 12 years old.
Benefits of cosmetic braces

Although, braces correct the misalignment of teeth and jaws, bringing aesthetic teeth and good health. However, not everyone after undergoing braces has a satisfactory result. Many people have spent a lot of time, effort and money, even lost many opportunities in work but the results still disappoint them. Some people even fall into a worse situation when their teeth are not only not beautiful but also “damaged” more than before. All the dark aspects of braces come from untrustworthy dental clinics, illegal practices or poorly skilled doctors with little experience. Therefore, before deciding to have braces, you need to consider and think carefully about the dental address – the place you plan to do it to avoid compromising both your teeth and your health.
