Dental Conditions
Braces (orthodontics)
Braces are often the ideal way to straighten teeth—especially when teeth are severely crowded—but you must be willing to wear braces for one to three years. Orthodontics is now a very common procedure for adults; in fact, 40 percent of orthodontic treatments are on adults.
In addition to the standard silver brackets, braces are now available with small, clear or gold brackets that are bonded directly to the front of the teeth. These new small brackets eliminate that "metal mouth" look previously associated with braces.
