Braces are an orthodontic treatment that uses metal wires and brackets to gently apply pressure to your teeth, shifting them into the correct position over time. While braces can be quite effective for improving the appearance of crooked or misaligned teeth, they are typically less discreet than Invisalign aligners.
This can make braces less popular for adults who want to straighten their teeth discreetly. However, braces are a good choice for children and teens who may still be growing and whose teeth may change position over time.
