An orthodontist or other trained dental professional is responsible for affixing the dental braces onto the teeth. The wire and brackets that form part of the braces are pressed against the patientâs teeth. This supports slight movements that can help in properly aligning and straightening the teeth.
Adults can expect to wear braces for three or four years, while children usually have them for two years. In some cases, your primary dentist can take care of orthodontic problems for you so that you don't have to see a specialist. This is usually true for adults who only have minor problems they would like to fix.ver four million people in the U.S. wear braces, and 25 percent of these individuals are adults. If you have a misaligned jaw or out-of-place teeth, be sure to ask your dentist if braces are right for you.
