I would like to know, can I get braces just on my upper teeth, or should I have it done on my bottom teeth as well? My bottom teeth are okay.
Answer: Braces CAN be on just one arch But there is an extra challenge sometimes when doing so. Braces with wires is similar to a tug of war and as pressure is put in one area, opposite pressure is placed elsewhere. The lower arch is often used for leverage to get the job done.

Answer: Partial braces It is possible to get braces on upper arch only, however the result may be compromised , it is always better to do braces on both arches to achieve a perfect bite.

Answer: Upper braces only It is very rare that braces can be done on only the upper teeth because the most important reason for braces is to correct the bite and alignment of the teeth and it is much more difficult to do this when you only have control of half the teeth. Even though the bottom teeth may look straight to you, your Orthodontist would be able to show you the corrections that are necessary. Good luck.
