Braces
Braces are fixed, non-removable orthodontic appliances that are placed and removed only by a dental specialist orthodontist.
Braces are used to correct the position of the teeth on the upper and lower jaws, regardless of the patient’s age. Their goal is to achieve a correct, orthognathic bite.
With the advancement of dental medicine, braces have become a discreet and effective solution for correcting teeth and improving the smile. In Sofia, there are numerous options for orthodontic treatment, and choosing the right specialist is of key importance.
When is it necessary to get braces?
Braces are the best tool for correcting dental arches and the bite. They are recommended for:
-
Malocclusion – underbite, edge-to-edge, or crossbite, which can lead to functional and aesthetic problems.
-
Crooked teeth – when teeth are positioned incorrectly and interfere with the bite.
-
Excessive spacing between teeth – referred to as diastema (for front teeth) or trema (for other teeth).
-
Tooth wear – improper alignment can lead to rapid enamel wear.
An orthodontic consultation is important even in the absence of visible problems, as some orthodontic anomalies are not easily noticed but can lead to serious consequences.

1. Consultation with an Orthodontist
The first step is an examination by a specialist, who will analyze your teeth through radiography and scanning.
2. Preparation of an Individual Plan
After the examination, the orthodontist will create a treatment plan that includes the time required for correction, the type of braces, and the expected results.
3. Placement of Braces
- Teeth cleaning – removal of tartar and plaque.
- Positioning of the braces – fixing them with the help of a special adhesive.
- Securing with an archwire – a metal or elastic archwire is placed, which exerts pressure on the teeth.
4. Follow-up Appointments
The patient visits the orthodontist at specific intervals (usually once a month) for adjustment and progress monitoring.
