Braces
Braces fix mismatched bites and straighten teeth. Brackets are affixed to the front of the teeth, and a wire goes through them. Periodically tightening the wire gently moves the teeth into place. The goal of braces is to create a straight, symmetrical, and healthy-looking smile.
Children and teens with misaligned teeth or jaws need braces. Adults with bite difficulties or crooked or crowded teeth might also benefit from braces. Adults who have received orthodontic treatment but didn't use their retainers as prescribed may need braces.
How long do braces take to work?
The time it takes Braces to work depends on the degree of the misalignment and the patient's response to treatment. On average, braces could take 12 to 24 months to work, with some a little longer. The time depends on the case's intricacy, the patient's age, and their commitment to following Dr. Locascio's instructions.
