Orthodontics is the art of using appliances to straighten and align teeth. Most commonly it involves the use of braces to move teeth into proper positioning. In this method, brackets are bonded to the teeth, and arch wires are threaded through the brackets. The arch wires act as a track, guiding each tooth to its proper position. There are several types of orthodontic braces available to patients including traditional metal braces, ceramic “tooth colored” braces, and clear plastic braces.
