Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontics can benefit both kids and adults—even patients in their 40s, 50s, and beyond! Here’s why it’s valuable:
1. Corrects bite, improving chewing.
2. Aligns teeth to prevent gum issues.
3. Enhances facial appearance.
4. Supports better oral hygiene for long-term health.
Conventional Braces
Conventional braces use brackets, elastic bands, and arch wires to align teeth. Brackets are attached to the tooth’s surface, while arch wires connect them, applying gentle pressure to move teeth into place. There are different types of brackets in this system. Metal braces are customized for function, while ceramic braces blend with the tooth color for a more natural look, making them a popular, visually appealing choice in orthodontic treatment.
Fast Braces
Fast Braces are a type of orthodontic braces designed to move teeth more quickly. Unlike conventional braces, which first move the root and then the crown, Fast Braces move both at the same time. This unique design includes triangular brackets, special cutting edges, and heat-activated arch wires, all of which speed up treatment. With this advanced technology, Fast Braces offer a faster and more efficient option for straightening teeth. If you're interested in Fast Braces, you might also want to know more about their cost.
Self-Ligating Braces
Self-ligating braces work similarly to conventional braces but don’t require elastics and bands. Instead, they use ligature wires to apply the necessary force to the teeth. This system often delivers faster results than traditional braces. Patients can choose between metal and ceramic brackets.
The brackets in self-ligating braces lock the arch wire into place using a self-locking mechanism, which eliminates the need for elastics. This feature allows for longer appointment intervals, typically every 8 to 10 weeks. Additionally, since there are no elastics, maintaining good oral hygiene becomes easier and more effective.
Self-ligating braces usually require fewer extractions. However, they are suitable only for certain clinical situations, so an orthodontist will provide guidance on the best treatment options for each patient.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are an advanced orthodontic option that are placed on the back surface of the teeth, making them invisible when someone smiles. Each set of lingual braces is custom-made for the individual patient. However, since these braces are fixed to the back of the teeth, they may cause some irritation or discomfort to the tongue.
Clear Aligners
Aligners are a way to straighten crooked teeth without using traditional braces. They are made from a strong plastic called polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) and are custom-made to fit each person's mouth. Aligners are removable and are designed to apply a specific amount of pressure to move the teeth into the desired position. Patients receive a set of aligners, and the number and duration of wear depend on how complex the alignment issue is.
Advantages of Clear Aligners:
1. Fewer Appointments: Patients need to visit the orthodontist less often.
2. Easier Oral Hygiene: It’s easier to keep teeth clean since aligners can be removed.
3. No Bracket Issues: Unlike braces, aligners don’t have brackets that can make brushing difficult or cause gum problems.
