What Are Braces ?

Braces are orthodontic devices used to straighten misaligned or crooked teeth and correct bite issues. They work by applying gentle, continuous pressure to gradually move teeth into their ideal positions. Braces consist of brackets (attached to teeth) and wires (that guide tooth movement). Modern braces come in different types — metal, ceramic, lingual, and self-ligating — offering both aesthetic and functional options. At Dr. Aneesha Shetty’s Advanced Dental Clinic, braces treatments are customized for each patient to ensure comfort, precision, and faster results. Whether for teens or adults, braces not only enhance your smile’s appearance but also improve chewing, speech, and long-term dental health.
