Braces
It is one of those appliances that we see being used extensively. Braces are a set of brackets fixed in a wire band that is connected firmly with the teeth in such a way that the brackets connect with teeth forming a perfect alignment and brining the teeth to its correct position. There are follow up checkups every now and then which make sure that the grip of braces on teeth is firm and tightens it once again. The treatment may last for several months or sometimes years, maybe.
There are different kinds of braces available such as clear and colored, both as per convenience.
Fixed space maintainers

This space maintainer is similar to braces except, without brackets. There is a thin yet firm wire which is placed in between two teeth maintaining space for the missing one.
