Braces 101
What are Braces?
Simply put, braces are an orthodontic appliance used to move teeth into a desirable position. From metal brackets and archwires, to the latest ceramic and clear appliances, Haltom Orthodontics uses many different types of equipment to create your world-class smile.
Although our techniques and methods may be cutting-edge and modern, orthodontics was first explored by Pierre Fauchard in 1728 in his book titled, “The Surgeon Dentist.” While we don’t use any of his techniques, Fauchard laid the ground-work for straightening teeth. Over the years, the techniques, methods, and science of orthodontics has been refined, improved, and advanced to what it is today.
