Dental Braces Near You
Orthodontic issues such as crooked teeth, inhibit proper chewing. They can complicate everyday practices like cleaning your teeth, which in turn heightens your risk of tooth decay (cavities). Also, when your teeth are crooked, it can strain your jaw muscles, not to mention the appearance of crooked teeth can feel embarrassing and hinder your self-confidence.
While there are a few different options when it comes to straightening and aligning your teeth, the most common choice is braces. Most orthodontic options serve to place pressure on the teeth, causing them to shift into proper alignment slowly. Spy Hill Dental Clinic offers dental braces in NW Calgary.

How Do Dental Braces Work?
Dental Braces in Northwest Calgary consist of brackets, wires, and bands which all work to align the teeth. The bands serve as anchors for the teeth and secure the mechanism in place. The brackets are affixed to the front surface of each tooth, and the archwires are attached to the bands that pass through the brackets. To allow the teeth to move into proper alignment, the archwires are tightened regularly, which places pressure on the teeth.
