Many patients opt for single-arch braces due to cost considerations or because only one set of teeth—typically the upper—is visibly misaligned. Often, top braces are chosen for aesthetic reasons since the upper teeth are more prominent when smiling or speaking. If you’ve had braces on just your top or bottom teeth, it’s important to understand how this decision might impact your dental alignment and long-term results. A helpful resource to explore this topic is the comprehensive guide on braces on top teeth only. On the other hand, bottom braces might be selected if crowding or spacing issues are primarily in the lower arch. This targeted approach can save money and reduce treatment time, as fewer brackets and wires are involved.
