Medicine: "Braces," fixed Orthodontic Appliances, are the medicine that Orthodontists use to correct a malocclusion (bad bite). Orthodontic treatment will correct the alignment, function, and stability of the teeth and jaws and are very effective. Braces will not correct the shape of the teeth. Often Orthodontic treatment eliminates the need for restorative treatment or enhances the restorative result.
