Dental braces.

Braces are metal wires that are held together by metal brackets glued to the permanent teeth. Each week or month (or other time the orthodontist decides) the patient comes back and the braces may be checked, cleaned, or changed into a tighter wire. Braces are to make your teeth straight. Not everyone needs or will need braces. Crooked teeth are based on habits, and/or genetics.
