Braces are a method to help adjust teeth to the correct position on the jaw to correct misalignments. However, orthodontic appliances are clearly visible on the outside of the teeth, making many people dislike them because they are unaesthetic. So with the development of technology, braces are moved to the inside of the teeth to help ensure high aesthetics. This method is called internal braces. To better understand this method, let’s learn with My Auris through the following article.
What is internal braces?

And with the impact force of the braces and archwire, the method is effective for most cases of mild to complex misalignment.
