When it comes to orthodontics, we're talking about aligning and straightening teeth, a common problem among children and teenagers, but not only. It is necessary that the teeth fit harmoniously on the bony bases of the jaws because otherwise both overstrain and lack of demand during chewing lead over time to the ramification of the patient's teething problems.
The dental braces is a medical device used by the orthodontist to apply certain forces to the teeth in order to move them along the dental arch to the correct position in terms of aesthetic, and functional. Thus, dental braces act on teeth by glued brackets, depending on the treatment plan (personalised to each patient). Braces can be made of: metal, ceramic or sapphire.
