Braces straighten teeth by putting steady pressure
on your teeth and by staying in place for a certain
amount of time. Most people just need regular
braces with wires and rubber bands doing their
jobs to keep pressure on the teeth. The wires
on your braces help to move your teeth, and the
rubber bands help to correct the alignment of
the teeth.

Some of the common habits that can be encountered
in children are thumb sucking, finger biting,
nail biting, lip biting, mouth breathing, tongue
thrusting etc. If these habits are continued for

in shape of the jaws. Habit breaking appliances
are appliances made by a dentist to combat the
above-mentioned habits in children. They can be
either a fixed or removable type.

by it is cleaned and filled with a special filling
material. Even though the pulp has been removed

over a tooth to restore its natural size and shape.
A crown strengthens the tooth, protects the remaining
