All about BracesBraces are one of the oldest dental treatments in human history. Different forms of braces have been found that date back to ancient times. Since then, the principle of how braces work has stayed the same but the technology behind braces has been vastly improved upon. In this article, we will be examining in detail the different parts of braces and how they work. Braces and Dental HygieneBraces are good for overall dental health as well as oral aesthetics.

How do Braces Work?The principle behind braces is a relatively simple one. All the braces do is apply small amounts of pressure on the teeth to move them into the desired position. The braces will initially be limited in how much pressure they are applying to prevent pain and discomfort to the patient. Protecting Your BracesAmong the best ways of protecting your braces is by the use of a mouthguard. A mouthguard can help prevent injuries like fractured teeth, bleeding gums, and broken brackets. They work by preventing the force of impact from directly reaching the teeth. They come in a variety of styles (depending on their function) and can be made to cover both the upper and lower teeth. We can help fit you with a custom mouthguard, which can be both highly effective and simple to use. Schedule Your ConsultationFind out today which type of braces is right for you!
