What are Dental Braces?
Braces are dental appliances that aid in the correction of dental issues such as crowding, crooked teeth, and out-of-alignment teeth. However, one of its most prevalent uses is in treating maloccluded (crooked) teeth.
Ideally positioned teeth are very rare; most people have malaligned teeth, which may range from mild to severe irregularities. Braces help them correct their irregularities.

When to undergo braces treatment
Tooth alignment problems are usually easier to correct if dental braces are placed soon after the eruption of permanent teeth, up until adolescence.

Still, they must be consulted before the tooth alignment problems cause any damage to the teeth.

Types of braces

stainless steel metal braces
The most common type of dental braces are stainless steel metal braces (nickel-titanium). Generally, these traditional metal braces are the most economical option.
Ceramic Braces
They are also known as tooth-colored braces, are made of composite material, and they are less noticeable than metal braces. This type of dental braces is suitable for patients concerned about their appearance, but they are much more expensive. On the other hand, Ceramic brackets are more brittle and prone to breakage, so they are not recommended for cases requiring high pressures to move teeth.
Invisalign
The Invisalign system uses a series of clear plastic custom-made trays to move teeth into their position; the Invisalign system requires a new teeth aligner tray every two weeks. Each teeth aligner is manufactured with exact CADCAM technology(computer-aided designing and computer-aided technology) to shift the teeth into their final position gradually.
Invisalign system braces are ideal for those with slight orthodontic problems, as they are almost invisible and much less noticeable than classic metal braces. They are not recommended for severe malocclusions—Invisalign help to maintain good oral hygiene as they can be removed easily during eating or brushing.
