Brakes correct the alignment of your teeth by applying continuous pressure on them, which eventually moved to a better position. A retainer also applies pressure to your teeth, and can be used to hold your teeth in a final position.
The time you have braces is determined depending on each person, there is no stipulated time. But most people wear braces for 1 to 3 years. It is important that you always check your teeth with the dentist, as the orthodontist only works with devices and does not review dental caries or cleaning.

Causes of dental dams
Causes structural or mechanical
A tooth in overbite (slightly too high) is responsible for an occlusal overload which causes the compression of the long ligament (fibro-elastic zone that connects the tooth to the bones and absorbs the stresses of mastication). Eventually, the stasis pressure generates energy which can result in the appearance of an abscess of the root (granuloma) on a devitalized tooth.
A dental bite imbalance must be considered a major bottleneck effects which affect the entire posture, through the temporomandibular joint is an important energy hub, with multiple consequences (osteoarticular, back pain, compression of organs, depressive syndrome).
A bridge blocks the micro-movement of natural teeth in their sockets. It generates a dominant transverse compression which sometimes double vertical overload if the bridge is in overbite. Placed on areas of junction of these bones (palatine suture), the bridge leads to a blockage of the cranial bones. An orthodontic arch has the same effect generalized to all teeth of the maxilla.
