Misaligned teeth are not just an aesthetic concern but also a functional problem. Correcting misaligned teeth is essential not only for improving their appearance. It is challenging to clean misaligned teeth effectively with regular brushing. There is a higher chance of plaque accumulation that leads to gum problems.
Dental braces are the traditional way of straightening teeth. They involve brackets and wires that move the teeth into their desired position. The brackets are attached to the teeth, and wires pass through them. The wires are adjusted to move the teeth into their desired position. There are different braces systems, such as metal braces, ceramic braces, and lingual braces. The mechanism of action is similar for all three. The choice of braces system is dependent on your specific requirements. It is essential to examine your current dental status before planning the treatment. Our team at Smile Concepts Andheri will examine your case clinically and radiologically to customize your treatment. We have our team of in-house experts who will help you achieve your dream smile most comfortably.
The process starts with the consultation, during which you can discuss all your queries regarding the outcome. Our team will clinically and radiologically examine your case to make a customized plan. We will also click some photographs for better evaluation. Once the treatment plan is ready, we start placing the brackets. Metal and ceramic braces are placed on the front surface. Lingual braces are fixed on the inner side of the tongue. The mechanism of action remains the same for all three brace systems.
The wires and bracket system exert mild pressure on the teeth, which leads to specific changes in the surrounding bone. These changes occur at the molecular level and facilitate tooth movement. Regular adjustment of the wires continuously exerts pressure on the teeth. The movement of the teeth is a slow process and takes time. The total time taken for the process depends on factors like age and the initial state of misalignment. Braces are a painless way of correcting misaligned teeth. Once the teeth reach their desired position, the new bone formation starts around them. This leads to the stabilization of teeth in their new position. Till then, we need retainer therapy after braces treatment to prevent relapse.
It is essential to maintain good health of your teeth and gums during the treatment. Regular brushing and flossing might be less effective during the treatment. However, you need to continue brushing and flossing at home. Professional cleaning or scaling with an ultrasonic scaler is also required. Plaque accumulation will hamper gum health, which is bad for teeth movement.
Yes, anyone with a healthy set of adult teeth can get it. A clinical examination is essential to rule out dental problems related to teeth and gums. If there are gum problems or tooth decay, we need to address them before any braces treatment.
No, the whole process is painless and hassle-free. You might feel a bit of discomfort initially when the tooth movement starts. However, it is not a concern as it can be managed easily.
The time taken for the whole process depends on the individual’s age, general health, and the initial state of misalignment. The earlier you start the treatment, the better. Getting your checkup done as soon as you notice any signs of misalignment is suggested.
Retainer therapy is necessary after braces treatment to prevent relapse. Teeth naturally return to their initial state until new bone is formed around them. Retainer therapy holds them in the new position until the bone consolidates around them.
To get braces treatment, it is crucial to get your complete dental checkup done by our experts at Smile Concepts Andheri. Book your appointment now for your customized solution.
