Different kinds of appliances are used to repair the displacement of the teeth. These appliances can be removed or fixed, and works by applying enough pressure on the teeth and jaws.

Kinds of fixed appliances:

BRACES: These are the most common type of appliance used. They usually consist of bands, wires and/or brackets. The bands are used as anchor and are fixed around the tooth/teeth. Brackets on the other hand, are placed in the front of the tooth. The archwires are attached to the bands. Tightening them will put tension in the teeth and will help them move in the right position.
