Braces & Aligners

Braces & Aligners - Orthodontics

WHAT IS ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT?

You might have seen children and adults wearing braces or wires on their teeth which is called as “orthodontic treatment”. This treatment corrects the irregularities of your teeth. Teeth in irregular position due to crowding lead to an undesirable appearance and smile. To correct such issues, one has to go through this treatment. Braces and aligners help to move teeth from their current position to the correct position. Orthodontic treatment not only helps in improving the oral health condition but also corrects facial bone development. Orthodontic treatment improves the function of your teeth and it may prevent bigger dental problems which may develop later in life.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF BRACES??

METAL BRACES

Metal also known as traditional braces are the most common type of braces. These braces are most popular among patients. The metal braces are attached to the teeth and are connected to each other with a wire and elastic ties. To move the teeth in correct position, the orthodontist (braces specialist) makes adjustments to the wire at your appointments every 4-8 weeks. Unlike clear aligners like Invisalign which can be removed anytime, some parents as well as patients love metal braces because they do not need to remind their child to wear them. However, metal braces require special care and attention. Maintaining good oral hygiene is a must throughout treatment.

CERAMIC BRACES

Ceramic braces are made of transparent/clear tooth coloured material. They work in a similar way as metal braces, but are more discreet and less visible. Ceramic braces are most popular among patients who do not think Invisalign or lingual braces are right for them, but who still want to straighten their teeth in an affordable way. These patients tend to be aesthetically-driven adolescents and adults. Since the amount of time required to complete the treatment using either ceramic braces or metal braces is the same, the only difference between the two is that one is metal and the other is ceramic or tooth coloured.

SELF-LIGATING BRACES

Self-ligating braces use a specialized clip instead of elastics to guide teeth into place. The clip helps reduce the amount of pressure being placed on the teeth and decreases the number of adjustments because there are no elastics to replace. Other advantages of Self- Ligating braces over other braces are better efficiency, reduced discomfort, and faster treatment/fewer appointments. Self-Ligating braces are made from the same materials as traditional metal braces and ceramic or clear brackets.

LINGUAL BRACES

Lingual braces are also known as invisible or hidden braces because they are placed on the back side of the teeth i.e. tongue side of the teeth. Their mechanism of action is same as the other braces. Lingual braces are the least visible fixed braces that is why they are a bit expensive as compared to other standard metal braces.
