What is Dental Braces or Orthodontic treatment?
Dental Braces are appliances made up of metal or ceramic brackets and are used to straighten teeth.
Dental Braces are installed by the dentist in your mouth to align your misaligned teeth.
Dental Braces comprises of wire(stainless steel or NiTi) & Brackets (metal/ceramic) which as a whole attached to your teeth with some dental adhesives called composites.
Wires stay in bracket slots with the help of some elastics or without elastics.
Dental Braces comes under the specialty of Orthodontics so also known as Orthodontic Treatment.
CAN BRACES CHANGE YOUR SMILE OR FACE?
YES, FOR SURE.
We had many patients who don’t even laugh because they think that they have bad teeth. Some cannot even raise their eyes to talk or smile naturally.
BRACES CAN CHANGE YOUR APPEARANCE, SMILE, AND YOUR LIFE.
Early treatment can even help to change the way you breathe, lips position, improve your facial esthetics, your self confidence.
By aligning teeth, changing how your teeth overlap (reducing overbite and overfed), which changes how your lip lay against your teeth. These are limitations to how much can be changed, which is why orthognathic surgery is done in conjunction with orthodontics.
TYPES OF DENTAL BRACES
Metal Braces
These are made of high quality stainless steel and many orthodontists feel that they are most effective devices for straightening teeth, especially in cases where these may be severe misalignment.
We prefer traditional metal braces for adults in most cases as they are very durable, highly used and fit the budget of most parents or adults with braces. Although metal braces have been used for several decades, they still do the job just well as other type of braces.
Traditional metal braces are made from high-quality stainless steel and are a durable and effective option for straightening teeth, including cases involving significant misalignment. They have been trusted for decades and continue to provide reliable orthodontic results while remaining a practical and budget-friendly choice for both adults and children.
CERAMIC BRACES
ceramic braces are a popular choice for adults who want effective orthodontic treatment with a more discreet appearance. Unlike traditional metallic braces, ceramic braces are designed to closely match the natural color of your teeth, making them less noticeable when you smile or speak. They are fitted to the front surface of the teeth and provide a subtle, aesthetic alternative while helping to correct misalignment and improve the overall appearance of your smile.
Many adults and professionals prefer clear or tooth-colored ceramic braces because they blend naturally with the teeth and are less conspicuous, making them a suitable option for those who are conscious about the appearance of braces during treatment.
METAL SELF-LEGATING BRACKET
They look like traditional metal brackets, and tooth color ceramic self legating brackets.
They look like natural tooth color, and are less noticeable than others. Because of their self legating brackets provide many advantages during initial stages of treatment. Larger amount of free wire (not bound by elastic or ties) enhance the working properties of the wires and allow for lighter forces to be delivered to teeth, which allows teeth to align more efficiently and more comfortably at the outset of treatment.
Compared to traditional braces, self-legating braces require 40 % less orthodontic appointments.
If you are looking to have an orthodontic treatment that goes unnoticed by family, friends and peers.
SELF LIGATING BRACES
Self-ligating braces are a modern type of orthodontic braces that use specially designed brackets with built-in clips or sliding doors to hold the archwire in place. Unlike traditional braces, they generally do not require small elastic bands to secure the wire. The built-in mechanism allows the orthodontic wire to move more freely within the bracket while the teeth are gradually guided into their desired positions. They are available in both metal and more discreet options, depending on the treatment plan and patient’s preferences.
One of the key features of self-ligating braces is their simplified bracket design, which can make wire changes and routine adjustments more convenient during orthodontic visits. They are used to treat various alignment and bite problems, including crowded or crooked teeth.
INVISIBLE/INVISALIGN /ALIGNER
Invisible braces consist of a series of 18-30 custom made, mouth guard like clear plastic aligners. These aligners are custom made to specifically fit an individual. These set of aligners are changed every two weeks. They are a major boost in the field of cosmetic dentistry. By using aligners, teeth shift with each new aligners given until the results are optimal. The average cost of these invisible braces starts from Rs. 1lakh, so if budget is of importance, then you may want to avoid these.
