Braces and Aligners: Correcting Your Smile with Orthodontic Treatment:

1 Metal braces –

Metal Braces are a good way of correcting misaligned or crooked teeth, improve your smile, correct under-bites, over-bites, and reduce gaps. Also known as traditional braces, these braces are considered to be more effective when it comes to treating overcrowding, as compared to other options such as Invisalign aligners and clear braces.

Metal braces can be defined as the tried-and-tested way to straighten teeth and correct facial asymmetries. The metal brackets are bonded on the front and outer surfaces of the teeth. Metal braces are made of materials with high resistance to corrosion and adequate strength. These metal braces are often made up of high-quality titanium or stainless steel alloys. They provide orthodontists the precision and control, they require to move the teeth in a gradual manner.

How does it work?

The metal brackets are directly attached to the teeth with the help of a bonding agent. In the past, metal bands were used on which the brackets were welded. Today, archwires are available in different shapes and cross-sections that are inserted in the bracket slots and secured with elastic ligature ties or ligature wires. The archwires pass from the slots of all the brackets and extend to the rear teeth that form the anchorage unit.

The archwire is activated during each visit. The activated or tightened archwire makes an attempt to move and relax. This creates a force on all the front and back teeth. Since front teeth are single-rooted teeth with lesser surface area, it becomes easy for them to move swiftly into the correct position. On the other hand, the rear teeth that are multi-rooted teeth with comparatively greater surface area act as the anchorage unit that resists the forces with slight or no movement.

The quantity of force that gets generated onto the teeth depends on the type of orthodontic wire and its thickness. This force then re-aligns the teeth to their correct positions. Your dentist would replace the ligatures at every appointment and adjust the orthodontic wires. The purpose is to ensure they are firm enough to move your teeth consistently.

2 Self-ligating Brace

Self-ligating braces work as metal and ceramic braces. They are available in ceramic or metal materials. The difference is that self-ligating braces use clips or doors to hold the wire rather than elastic.

3 Ceramic Brace

Ceramic braces are made of clear, tooth-colored material. They work as metal braces but are less visible and more discrete.

They are most popular among patients who are not eligible or willing for Invisalign or lingual braces but want to straighten their teeth in an affordable way.

4 Aligners

Aligners (Invisalign)offer a transformative orthodontic treatment to correct misaligned teeth and create beautiful, confident smiles. Our dental clinic is dedicated to providing exceptional orthodontic care, helping you achieve optimal dental alignment and improved oral health through the power of invisible braces.

Understanding Invisalign

Invisalign are an excellent alternative to traditional metal braces, offering teeth straightening without the discomfort and visibility of metal components. Crooked and uneven teeth can cause self-consciousness, but well-aligned teeth not only enhance aesthetics but also contribute to a healthy mouth. Invisible braces can effectively address various dental issues, including teeth overbite, teeth overjet, crowded teeth, gaps, and crooked teeth.

Transparent Invisible Aligner (Invisalign)  

Aligners are a comfortable and removable option for orthodontic treatment. These aligners gently shift teeth into their desired positions. Each aligner is custom-made, lightweight, and snugly fits the teeth. They provide minor tooth movement, and multiple sets of aligners gradually straighten the teeth. The aligners are worn for about two weeks before progressing to the next set. A significant advantage of these braces is that they are practically invisible, ensuring that your treatment goes unnoticed.

How Invisalign Work

The process begins with a thorough dental examination, including 3D scans and digital impressions of your teeth. With the help of advanced technology, custom aligners are created, each designed to move specific teeth into their correct positions. The treatment duration typically ranges from 6 to 12 months, depending on the severity of misalignment.

Benefits of Aligners

– Aesthetic: Invisible braces offer a discreet solution to straighten teeth without noticeable metal components.

– Comfortable: Made of smooth plastic, invisible braces do not have sharp wires or edges, providing comfort during treatment.

– Better Oral Hygiene: Removable aligners allow easy brushing and flossing, promoting better oral health during treatment.

– Time-Efficient: Fewer appointments are needed for adjustments, making the treatment process more efficient than traditional braces.

– No Food Restrictions: Unlike traditional braces, invisible braces allow you to eat without restrictions by simply removing the aligners.
