Braces are orthodontic devices that can correct a wide range of dental issues, including gapped and misaligned teeth and malocclusion.
Braces gently and gradually move your teeth into their desired positions.
This constant pressure, which is applied 24/7, is exerted through brackets and an archwire.
These components, often made of metal or tooth-colored ceramic, are attached to your teeth.
The archwire is shaped to guide your teeth towards their ideal alignment.
To enhance this movement, rubber bands (elastics) may be added to apply extra pressure.
You need to wear these elastics continuously for the best results.
The most traditional and effective method, metal braces use brackets and wires to shift teeth into proper alignment gradually. They offer many benefits, including correcting overcrowding, underbites, overbites, and gaps. While they are the most visible option, they are typically the most affordable. You might need to see your dentist for regular adjustments necessary to achieve the desired results.
Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners for a discreet teeth-straightening solution. Invisible braces in Calgary are custom-made to fit your teeth and gradually move them into place. They offer the convenience of removing them for eating, brushing, and flossing. They might be more suitable for milder orthodontic issues and might be ineffective in correcting more complex problems in most cases.
Combining aesthetics with effectiveness, ceramic braces use tooth-colored brackets and wires to blend in with your smile. This makes them less noticeable than traditional metal braces. However, they can be more prone to staining and might require extra care. Similar to metal braces, regular adjustments are necessary to achieve optimal results.
The type of braces that will be the right fit for you will depend on the severity of your case and individual preference.
Your orthodontist will thoroughly examine to determine the most suitable treatment for your specific dental needs and goals.
Orthodontic braces can help address a variety of dental problems.

Retainers are essential to preserve your newly straightened teeth. Without them, your teeth tend to shift back to their original positions. There are two main types:
The best time to get braces is between 9 and 14. During this age, your bones are still soft and malleable, and the treatment is more effective. You can also get braces as an adult, although the treatment might take longer.
Metal braces are made with stainless steel mixed with some percentage of nickel and chromium. Nickel improves the corrosion resistance of stainless steel.
While metal braces are more effective in treating complex issues, clear aligners are more aesthetic and easy to use.
