Braces
"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.
