Braces

How Do Braces Work?

Braces can straighten teeth, close gaps, and correct spacing, resulting in a more comfortable, functional, and confident smile. There are many different types of braces available for straightening teeth. While many assume that braces are primarily for improving appearance, that is only one of the many benefits of straight teeth. Looking for braces in Virginia Beach?
