Braces: Types, Benefits, and What to Expect
A beautiful smile is more than just straight teeth—it’s about confidence, oral health, and long-term wellbeing. At NeevWellbeing's – The Dental Clinic, we help children, teens, and adults align their teeth with modern, comfortable, and effective braces.
If you’re considering braces, here’s everything you need to know.
What Are Braces?
Braces are orthodontic devices used to straighten teeth, correct bite issues, and align the jaw. They work by applying gentle, consistent pressure over time, moving teeth into their ideal positions.
Why Might You Need Braces?
You may need braces if you have:
Crooked or crowded teeth
Gaps between teeth (Spacing)
Overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite
Jaw misalignment
Difficulty in chewing or speech due to tooth position
