Braces

YES ! We do Braces !!

Its what we are Good at !

Braces are special dental devices designed to correct dental misalignments, creating a straighter and more harmonious smile. They are used to address various orthodontic issues, including overcrowding, gaps, crooked teeth, and bite irregularities. Braces typically consist of brackets, archwires, and elastics, working together to apply gentle pressure that gradually guides the teeth into the desired position.

Fixed Braces: Tried, Tested, and Trusted

Fixed braces, also known as traditional braces, are the most common and time-tested orthodontic treatment. They feature metal or ceramic brackets that are affixed to the teeth and connected by an archwire. Adjustments are made periodically by the orthodontist to ensure optimal progress. With the option to add colorful elastics, fixed braces can become a fun and expressive part of your orthodontic journey. Their versatility makes them suitable for treating various dental complexities.

Aligners: Invisible, Comfortable, and Convenient

An alternative to fixed braces, aligners offer a discreet orthodontic solution. These custom-made, transparent trays fit snugly over the teeth, gradually shifting them into alignment. Aligners are removable, providing flexibility for eating, brushing, and flossing. Although aligners are excellent for mild to moderate dental misalignments, complex cases may require the added control of fixed braces.

Retainers: Maintain Your Beautiful Smile

After completing your orthodontic treatment, retainers become vital in preserving the achieved results. Retainers help prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions. Removable retainers, similar to aligners, can be easily taken out for eating and cleaning. Alternatively, fixed retainers consist of a discreet wire bonded to the back of the front teeth, offering long-term maintenance without interfering with your daily routine.

Advantages of Braces:

  • Aesthetics: Achieve the smile you’ve always dreamed of with properly aligned teeth.
  • Oral Health: Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other oral issues.
  • Improved Functionality: Well-aligned teeth contribute to better chewing, speaking, and overall oral function.
  • Enhanced Confidence: A beautiful smile can boost self-esteem and confidence in social and professional settings.

Maintenance Care while Wearing Braces:

  1. Oral Hygiene: Proper oral hygiene is crucial when wearing braces. Brush your teeth after every meal using a soft-bristle toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Pay extra attention to cleaning around the brackets and wires. Consider using an interdental brush or a water flosser to remove food particles and plaque from hard-to-reach areas.
  2. Regular Dental Check-ups: It’s important to schedule regular dental check-ups with your orthodontist for adjustments and progress monitoring. These appointments allow us to make any necessary changes and ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
  3. Follow Dietary Guidelines: Certain foods can damage braces or get stuck in between the brackets and wires, leading to complications. Avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods that can cause brackets to become loose or wires to bend. Examples include popcorn, chewing gum, hard candies, and nuts. Cut fruits and vegetables into smaller pieces to make them easier to chew.
  4. Be Mindful of Habits: Habits such as nail-biting, chewing on pens or pencils, or biting on objects should be avoided as they can damage your braces, prolong treatment time, and affect the overall outcome of orthodontic treatment.

Remember, each case is unique, and we will provide you with specific instructions and advice tailored to your needs. Follow their guidance closely to ensure the best outcome for your orthodontic treatment.
