Braces
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Given the context: many people see the orthodontist looking to align their teeth or correct their bite, and that is where braces come up as one of the treatment options.
Braces are fixed appliances that attach to the teeth and, through wires, apply gentle and constant forces to move them gradually toward a more aligned position.
What are they used for? They help correct crowding, gaps, misaligned bites, and other dental irregularities that can affect function or appearance.
Which professional places them? The orthodontist is the specialist trained to plan and follow up on this treatment; the dentist can guide you and refer you. If you are interested in improving the alignment of your teeth, a professional assessment to determine whether braces are right for your case is ideal.
