Braces are used not only to align teeth but also improve dental health.
I didn't realize that! How do they improve dental health?
Braces can correct underbites, overbites and other jaw and teeth flaws
Yes, I suppose that makes sense! I was supposed to get braces to correct an overbite when I was a kid, but my parents couldn't afford them. Too expensive!
Braces can be cosmetic or structural. Which would yours have been?
I don't know? What's the difference between cosmetic and structural braces?
Structural would assist in shaping teeth and jaws for structural deformities. Cosmetic would be just for looks.
Mine would definitely be structural braces, then. Although hopefully they wouldn't look too badly, either!
