Braces
Traditional braces remain one of the most effective solutions for correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues, from crowding and gaps to severe misalignment and bite problems. Using durable metal or ceramic brackets connected by wires, braces apply gentle, continuous pressure to guide teeth into their proper positions over time. Braces are highly reliable and versatile, making them an excellent option for addressing even the most complex orthodontic needs.

Using precision-engineered wires customized to your child’s specific orthodontic needs, SureSmile braces provide faster and more accurate adjustments compared to conventional braces.
