Understanding Orthodontic Treatments: Braces
If your confidence is affected due to a less than perfect smile, then considering orthodontic treatments like braces might be the right move for you. Problems such as crowded or crooked teeth, misaligned jaws, uneven teeth, issues with your bite, and TMJ disorders can be effectively addressed through orthodontic procedures, potentially enhancing your self-esteem.
Why Consider Braces?
Dentists often suggest braces or aligners to enhance a patient’s oral-facial aesthetics and to rectify issues related to the bite. Braces consist of brackets that are affixed to your teeth and connected by archwires, while aligners are custom-made retainers that fit perfectly over the teeth.
Orthodontic treatments, which include removable aligners and braces, employ appliances that exert continuous pressure on the teeth. This gentle yet persistent pressure gradually moves the teeth in a specific, controlled direction.
During your consultation at our clinic, a general dentist will assess your teeth and facial structure using X-rays. If necessary, you will be referred to our orthodontist (a dental specialist who corrects teeth and jaw alignment to enhance your bite and smile). After a comprehensive examination, our orthodontist will suggest the most suitable type of braces or aligners based on your teeth’s structure and condition.
Types of Braces
Braces typically come in three types, all of which use wires and elastic bands to connect the braces and realign the teeth:
Traditional Braces
These braces, made of steel and/or titanium, use brackets connected by metal wires to move the teeth. The brackets are bonded to the front of the teeth and are often used for children.
Invisible Braces
These braces, which operate similarly to traditional metal braces, use brackets made of ceramic or plastic materials.
Lingual Braces
These braces are cosmetic alternatives to metal braces. The brackets are bonded to the back of the teeth, rendering them invisible.
Clear or “invisible” aligners are usually recommended for adults or teenagers as they are custom-made for a perfect fit. These are typically used for individuals with mildly to moderately crowded teeth or minor spacing issues.
Treatment Duration
The length of your treatment will depend on your unique situation. Most treatments range from one to three years. We use advanced materials that move teeth more rapidly and accurately, causing less discomfort.
Benefits of Braces
Orthodontic treatment or braces are typically recommended at a young age, but individuals even in their 40s, 50s, or older can benefit from them. Some of the advantages of braces include:
- They help align teeth, contributing to a beautiful smile.
- They enhance self-esteem in adults and positive self-image in children, improving your impression among peers, at work, or in social gatherings.
- Straight teeth can enhance your ability to bite, chew, and speak. They bring the teeth and lips in proportion with the jaws and face.
- Braces can prevent future cavities, periodontal disease, and bad breath by facilitating easier cleaning and brushing with aligned teeth.
- Aligned teeth and jaws can alleviate unnecessary teeth wear and grinding.
