The normal arrangement of the teeth is the teeth that are neatly arranged and parallel in the arch, as well as when the teeth are clenched. This is of course very important in creating a charming smile. For this reason, this is where the importance of orthodontic treatment is carried out. One of them is the use of Braces.
This appliance is recommended for patients with crooked and crowded teeth, as well as under bites and overbites. Braces improve the patient’s facial appearance and ensure proper oral care easier and more effective. Therefore, these devices are known to help patients maintain good dental health in the long term.
Braces treatment can be performed on patients aged 12 or 13 years when all of their adult teeth have erupted. Treatment is usually more effective when it is done during this stage, compared to when it is done in adulthood. To get a neat arrangement of teeth, a harmonious bite and an attractive smile, one way is to use Dental Braces.
Patients who require braces treatment have several choices of Dental Braces, including:
- Removable braces: can be removed by the patient himself, for example: Removable braces, Clear Aligner.
- Fixed braces: These devices are attached firmly to the teeth, and cannot be removed by the patient himself. Types of fixed braces:

Self-Ligating braces Appliances
Lingual Appliances - Functional braces: These can be either fixed or removable functional braces.
Braces treatment begins with a dental examination and an X-ray of the mouth. This is done to determine the condition of the patient’s teeth so that the doctor can make a dental treatment plan that is right for the patient. The dentist will then make the braces in the dental laboratory and place them on the patient’s teeth when they are ready.
