What Are Traditional Braces?

Traditional braces are a time-tested orthodontic treatment that uses metal brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into their correct positions. Brackets are bonded to each tooth and connected by an archwire, which is periodically adjusted by your orthodontist to apply gentle pressure, guiding the teeth into alignment over time.
