Straight teeth are not only aesthetically pleasing, but they can also lead to a number of health benefits. Properly aligned teeth make it easier to brush and floss, which can help to prevent cavities and gum disease. Additionally, straight teeth can help to improve speech and reduce the risk of sleep apnea.
There are many different types of braces available, so you can choose the one that is best for your individual needs.
Braces work by applying constant pressure to teeth, which slowly encourages them to move into the correct position. This pressure is applied by the archwire, which is a thin, metal wire that is threaded through brackets that are bonded to the teeth. The archwire is held in place by elastic bands or ties.
The process of moving teeth with braces can take several months to several years, depending on the severity of the misalignment. With proper care and attention, braces can be an effective way to straighten teeth and improve your smile.

Braces require special tooth care
Dentists recommend brushing your teeth twice a day. However, people with braces should brush their teeth after every meal to remove plaque and food particles that can build up around the braces.
To brush your teeth with braces, use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Place the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle and gently brush along the gum line. Be sure to brush the inside, outside, and chewing surfaces of each tooth. Pay extra attention to any hooked braces, as these areas are more likely to collect plaque.
Rinse your mouth thoroughly after brushing. If you are not able to brush after every meal, carry a toothbrush and toothpaste with you so that you can brush as soon as possible.
Any soft-bristled toothbrush will work for people with braces. However, an electric toothbrush with a circular oscillating head may be more effective at removing plaque.
It is important to use fluoride toothpaste when you have braces. Fluoride strengthens the enamel of your teeth and helps to prevent plaque. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, you may want to use a desensitizing toothpaste.
Avoid hard, sticky, and chewy foods that can damage your braces. These foods include caramels, popcorn, nuts, and hard candy.
To protect your braces, cut apples and carrots into bite-sized pieces. These foods can be eaten without damaging your braces.
Be patient
It takes time for braces to work. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t see results immediately.
