Orthodontics Braces<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that corrects teeth and jaws that are positioned<\/span>
improperly. An orthodontist is a specialist who has undergone special training in a dental school <\/span>or college after they have graduated in dentistry.<\/span><\/p>\n

Crooked and irregular teeth can jeopardize not only your smile and facial beauty, but can also <\/span>affect your overall confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n

Variations in alignment , shape, size of teeth or jaws can have delirious effect on the way one <\/span>looks. Additionally, such malaligned teeth can cause:<\/span><\/p>\n

Speech problems<\/span>
Difficulty in maintaining oral hygiene<\/span>
Gum problems<\/span>
Jaw growth hampering<\/span>
Unnatural teeth wear<\/span>
In severe cases, jaw joint and muscle pain<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Crooked teeth and teeth that do not fit together correctly are harder to keep clean, are at risk of <\/span>being lost early due to tooth decay and periodontal disease, and cause extra stress on the chewing <\/span>muscles that can lead to headaches, TMJ syndrome and neck, shoulder and back pain. Teeth that<\/span>
are crooked or not in the right place can also detract from one\u2019s appearance.<\/span><\/p>\n

The benefits of orthodontic treatment include a healthier mouth, a more pleasing appearance, and <\/span>teeth that are more likely to last a lifetime. <\/span>With the advent of technology, orthodontics treatment can be carried out at any age. Various<\/span>
modes of treatment are<\/span><\/p>\n

Metal Braces<\/strong><\/span>
These are the metal brackets and wires that most people picture when they hear the word <\/span>\u201cbraces.\u201d However, modern brackets are smaller and less noticeable than the notorious \u201cmetal- <\/span>mouth\u201d braces that many adults remember.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pros<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Least expensive type<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Cons<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Most noticeable type of braces<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Ceramic Braces<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Ceramic braces are the same size and shape as metal braces, except that they have tooth-colored <\/span>or clear brackets that blend in to teeth. Some even use tooth-colored wires to be even less noticeable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pros<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Less noticeable than metal braces<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Cons<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

More expensive than metal braces<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Brackets can stain easily if patients don\u2019t care for them well<\/span><\/p>\n

Self ligating Braces (DAMON)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Similar to traditional metal and ceramic braces, self-ligating braces make use of the bracket and <\/span>wire system. This type of braces uses brackets with clips or doors that hold on to the wire, <\/span>instead of the rubber band tie system. These braces are supposed to hold on to less food and be <\/span>less painful than other types of braces, and they are also supposed to reduce the number of trips <\/span>to the orthodontist the patient has to make. This type of braces can be found in both metal and <\/span>ceramic versions<\/span><\/p>\n

Pros<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Self-ligating braces can be used to effectively treat simple or complex problems<\/span><\/p>\n

They can also achieve precise results by giving your clinician complete control over the way<\/span><\/p>\n

your teeth move.<\/span><\/p>\n

They can help convert extraction cases to non extraction ones<\/span><\/p>\n

Cons<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Clear self-ligating braces are not completely hidden<\/span><\/p>\n

You will need to brush carefully around brackets and wires in order to keep your teeth clean<\/span><\/p>\n

Lingual Braces (Invisible Braces)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Lingual braces are the same as traditional metal braces, except that the brackets and wires are <\/span>placed on the inside of teeth. They can be just as effective as traditionally placed braces, whether <\/span>of metal or ceramic, but they cannot be seen from outside of the mouth. While they can be <\/span>spotted when the wearer opens their mouth, they are far less intrusive and likely to be noticed <\/span>than brackets and wires on the front of the teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pros<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Invisible from outside<\/span><\/p>\n

Cons<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

More expensive; not appropriate for severe cases<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Clear Aligners\/ Invisalign<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Invisalign is a popular removable brace that uses clear aligners to straighten teeth. Without a <\/span>trace of metal it gently moves teeth using a series of transparent plastic aligners. The aligners are <\/span>removable and are replaced every 2 weeks. Your Invisalign aligners will be custom-made just for <\/span>you, and each one will move your teeth little-by-little. <\/span>Because there are no metal wires or brackets, Invisalign is very discreet. Best of all, you can take <\/span>your brace out to enjoy all the foods that would be difficult to eat with a fixed brace on. You will <\/span>achieve a great smile with little interference in your daily life <\/span>Just make sure you wear your brace for a minimum of 22 hours daily.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pros<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Almost invisible<\/span><\/p>\n

Removable<\/span><\/p>\n

Patients can eat and drink whatever they want<\/span><\/p>\n

Cons<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Invisalign will only be effective if you are wearing your aligners for the recommended amount of <\/span>time.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are some more complex problems that will be better suited to fixed braces<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Best age to get your braces<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Although, it is recommended to do an early intervention whenever possible. All children should <\/span>ideally pay a visit to an Orthodontist when they are around 7-8 years of age to detect any signs of <\/span>future malocclusion.<\/span><\/p>\n
