Braces are a dental method that helps to adjust the teeth in the right direction and position. Thereby, helping to improve chewing ability, prevent oral diseases such as tooth decay, bad breath, periodontitis, etc. and bring a more perfect smile to those who have cases of buck teeth, gaps, misaligned teeth, misaligned teeth, etc.
CAUSES WHEN BRACES ARE REQUIRED
Usually, braces should be performed in the following cases:
- Protruding teeth: The condition where the upper jaw protrudes more than the lower jaw or the lower jaw is pushed in too much compared to the upper jaw.
- Underbite: is the condition where the upper jaw is recessed inward, while the lower jaw is protruding. This condition makes chewing difficult, even leading to lisping and poor pronunciation.
- Sparse teeth, gaps between teeth: is a condition where there are gaps between the teeth, these gaps can easily cause food to get stuck, and also affect pronunciation.
- Teeth grow crookedly, messy, sparsely, unevenly: a condition where the teeth do not grow in a straight line, some teeth protrude, some teeth are recessed, or even grow on top of each other.
- Open bite: is a condition where the two jaws do not touch each other, often formed due to bad habits from childhood such as: pushing the tongue, sucking fingers, mouth breathing, …
- Deep bite: is a condition where the upper jaw covers the lower jaw underbite, causing the chin to be shorter and making the face lack balance and harmony.

Metal braces
Metal braces are a traditional method of braces that have been around for a long time but are still highly appreciated for their effectiveness. This type of braces comes in many different colors, so it is suitable for many ages. At the same time, metal braces have a reasonable cost for many people while still ensuring high efficiency.
Ceramic braces
This method is more aesthetically pleasing than metal braces, so the cost will also be different. At the same time, the operating mechanism of this type of braces is similar to metal braces, but the treatment time will be longer.
Self-locking braces (self-ligating)
Self-ligating braces are a modern method of braces, this type of braces has an additional automatic sliding cover that holds the archwire into the bracket slot, helping the braces automatically adjust according to the movement of the teeth. With this type of braces, the braces wearer can operate easily, the treatment is faster and the treatment time is reduced for the customer.
Lingual braces
Lingual braces are highly aesthetic. With this method, the braces will be attached to the inside of the teeth instead of the outside like other methods. Therefore, when performing lingual braces, the doctor must be really good, have high expertise and rich experience to bring about the expected orthodontic results.
Invisalign clear braces
This is a fairly new method of braces today and is performed by using transparent plastic trays to adjust the teeth to the desired position. Invisalign braces are much more expensive than braces and cannot be used in cases of severe tooth misalignment.
