What is the definition or description of: braces?

Fixed Orthodontics: "braces" are specialized orthodontic appliances used to correct malocclusions or inccorrect bites. Braces components include brackets (glued on to the front of the tooth), wires, and possibly bands around the molar teeth. They are generally made of stainless steel, but can be made of ceramic, plastic, titanium, or even gold plated. Invisalign is an alternative option to correct bites.

Handles: "braces" is a generic term referring to the orthodontic appliances that are affixed to teeth to enable them to be picked up and moved.

Tooth movers: They are used in orthodontics. The braces are put onto the teeth at precise anatomical locations, and wire runs through the braces and brings teeth into proper alignment. This is a very short answer for a very big specialty. Good luck!

Bio mechanical : Braces are bio mechanical devices that move teeth through bone. Braces are used as a dentofacial orthopedic device to correct misaligned teeth, jaw relations , and other diagnosis. They are extremely effective.
