Before we get into cleaning braces, let’s discuss what they actually are.
What are braces?
Brace treatment involves using appliances to straighten crooked, crowded or protruding teeth, close gaps between teeth and correct the bite. There are a variety of different orthodontic braces available, some of which are fixed, located on the outside or the inside of the teeth, and some that are removable.
Thanks to modern technology and experts in the field, orthodontic patients can choose from a range of brace appliances.
But with so many options available, we understand it can also be a little confusing for patients. That’s why we’ve created this short blog to help you understand the pros and cons of metal braces and ceramic braces.
Some people consider jaw surgery, or orthognathic surgery, to improve their jawline or facial symmetry. For other people, jaw surgery is medically necessary. In short, if you have a condition that severely impedes the function of your jaw, you may need to have surgery.
