Braces for Teeth
Braces are used to correct misaligned teeth and jaws.
What are Dental Braces?
Dental braces are orthodontic devices used to correct misaligned teeth and jaws. They apply continuous pressure over time to move teeth into their desired positions, helping to create a healthy, straight smile and improve oral function.

Why are Dental Braces Required?
Braces for teeth are essential for correcting various dental issues, including:
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbites and underbites

- Improper jaw positioning
Correcting these issues not only enhances the appearance of your smile but also improves oral health, reducing the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and jaw problems.

Are Braces Expensive? What is the Cost of Braces for Teeth?
The cost of braces can vary depending on the type and complexity of the treatment.
At Corneal Dent, we strive to make orthodontic care affordable and offer various payment plans. Generally, the cost varies for traditional braces, with ceramic braces and clear aligners potentially costing more due to their materials and design.
We recommend scheduling a consultation to receive an accurate quote based on your specific needs.
How Long Will Treatment Take?
The duration of orthodontic treatment with braces depends on the severity of the dental issues and the type of braces used. On average, most patients wear braces for 18 to 24 months. Some cases may require a shorter or longer period, ranging from 12 months to 3 years.
