Common Questions About Getting Brace

---

 Braces are orthodontic devices used to straighten teeth, correct bites, and align the jaw. They consist of brackets, wires, and bands that apply continuous pressure to move teeth over time. 

Braces can be effective at any age, but most people get them between ages 10 and 14, when the mouth and jaw are still growing. Adults can benefit from braces too.

 Treatment duration varies, but most people wear braces for 18 to 24 months. Complex cases may take longer. 

You may experience some discomfort or soreness, especially after adjustments. This usually goes away after a few days.
