Dental Braces are devices used in orthodontics that align and straighten teeth and help to position them with regard to a person’s bite, while also working to improve dental health.
They are often used to correct an underbite, as well as malocclusion, overbite, open bite, deep bite, crossbite, crooked teeth, and various other flaws of the teeth and jaw. It doesn’t matter if you are an adult or young, Dental Braces are available for people of any age as long as they qualify for them.

Good Oral Healt
Braces can straighten misaligned teeth, contributing to healthy gums and teeth. Straighter teeth are easier to clean, brush, and floss. Braces can help you maintain excellent oral hygiene and prevent future periodontal disease and cavities. Over time, cavities can lead to the destruction of the bone that holds the teeth in place.
Improved Bite
Braces can help you achieve a better and more balanced bite. Misaligned teeth often cause difficulty during chewing and eating. This makes it extremely difficult to properly bite into food, putting extra stress on your jaw and jaw joints. Long-term effects of a misaligned bite may also result in severe jaw pain, headaches and can also cause locked jaw syndrome.
Help you with digestion
If your teeth are misaligned, it can be difficult to chew food into teeny tiny bits. As a result, the stomach takes a bit longer to digest food. Braces can straighten your teeth for optimal alignment, helping you thoroughly chew your food and improve digestion. Once food can be chewed properly with the help of braces, it can be more easily and fully digested.
Clearer Speech
Misaligned or overcrowded teeth may cause speech problems. This can impact the movement of your jaw and lead to difficulties in the pronunciation of some words. Dental braces can resolve such speech issues by ensuring perfectly aligned teeth.
Reduces TMJ Disorder
TMJ disorders result from extra stress on the jaw muscles and jaw joints. These disorders arise from minor things like irregular jaw movement due to misaligned or crooked teeth. TMJ is prompted by bite problems, and wearing orthodontic braces can give relief in jaw pain by aligning teeth properly.
Ease of Cleaning
Crooked teeth are hard to clean because of the close proximity of the teeth. This may result in the accumulation of plaque and bacteria in the mouth, making your teeth susceptible to oral infections like tooth decay, gingivitis, and gum disease.
Improve your confidence
While bracers are certainly important for your health, they play a key role in one’s confidence.
In fact, one of the best parts of having braces is how much it can raise someone’s self-esteem. In the long run, help to create a great smile.
And who doesn’t want to show off their new smile?
Types of Braces
There are some different types of braces to help correct your particular problem.
METAL BRACES
Metal Braces
Also called “traditional braces,” metal braces have two basic components. These are the metal bracket that is applied to the teeth and the bendable metal wire that is threaded through the brackets in order to apply pressure to the teeth and ultimately move them. This is the type of braces that most patients get because they are the least expensive braces and are often the fastest way of moving teeth into their ideal locations.
Today’s metal braces are far smaller and less noticeable than they were in the past. New technology has also created wires that move teeth faster and with less pain than in years past. Even you can choose the color of the rubber bands around each bracket to personalize your braces.
CERAMIC BRACES
Ceramic Braces
The brackets were made out of a ceramic material that is the same color and has the same texture as teeth, it would be very difficult to see the ceramic brackets on the teeth.
Ceramic braces are more expensive than traditional braces, they are far less noticeable and offer the patient a faster treatment.
Why get Orthodontic Braces in CDS
Dental Braces are devices used to align, straighten and correctly position teeth by exerting steady pressure over a period of time, usually one to three years. Braces typically consist of brackets (bonded to the teeth), bands, and wires.
Braces are recommended to patients who have or show the potential for various issues. Most of these issues seem cosmetic—crooked teeth, overcrowding, overbite, underbite, etc. And many times, they are. However, these same issues can sometimes contribute to gum disease, decay, tooth pain, headaches, and other more serious problems. Braces can also increase tooth functionality, making chewing easier and more effective.
There are a lot of things that we factor in here at Cancun Dental Specialists when preparing for braces. This is a fairly common treatment done in Cancun that is normally followed up by a local Orthodontist in the patient´s home city.
