Braces
Braces are orthodontic devices used to correct alignment issues such as crooked teeth, crowding, gaps, and bite problems. By gradually shifting the position of teeth, braces help achieve a straighter and healthier smile, improving both function and appearance.
Benefits of Braces
- Correct misaligned and crooked teeth
- Improve bite and chewing efficiency
- Enhance overall facial aesthetics
- Prevent jaw pain and long-term dental issues
- Boost confidence with a well-aligned smile
Types of Braces
- Metal Braces: Traditional stainless steel brackets and wires, highly effective and durable
- Ceramic Braces: Tooth-colored braces that are less noticeable
- Lingual Braces: Placed behind the teeth, hidden from view
- Clear Aligners: Removable transparent trays like Invisalign for a discreet appearance
Procedure for Getting Braces
- Initial consultation and evaluation of alignment
- Creation of a customized treatment plan
- Cleaning and preparation of teeth
- Placement of brackets and connection with archwires
- Regular adjustments to guide tooth movement
- Monitoring progress until desired alignment is achieved
Maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular orthodontic check-ups are essential during treatment. Once braces are removed, retainers may be recommended to maintain the new position of your teeth and ensure long-lasting results.
