DENTAL BRACES / ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT

Fixed orthodontic braces are dental devices made up of

brackets, wires, and bands that work together to gradually shift and straighten misaligned teeth. These braces are affixed to the teeth and are not removable by the patient. The brackets are bonded to the front surface of each tooth, while the archwire connects the brackets, exerting gentle pressure to guide the teeth into their desired positions. With advancements in orthodontic technology, modern braces are now smaller, more comfortable, and less noticeable than ever before.

The process of getting fixed orthodontic braces typically involves the following steps:

Consultation: Your orthodontist will evaluate your teeth and bite, discuss your concerns and treatment goals, and determine if fixed orthodontic braces are the right option for you.
Preparation: In some cases, your orthodontist may need to take X-rays, photographs, and impressions of your teeth to develop a customized treatment plan.
Bonding: The orthodontist will clean and prepare your teeth for bonding. They will then apply a special adhesive to each tooth and carefully position the brackets. Once the brackets are in place, the archwire will be inserted and secured with elastic or metal ligatures.
Adjustment and Progression: You will need to visit your orthodontist periodically for adjustments. During these visits, the orthodontist will tighten or replace the archwire to continue guiding your teeth into their correct positions.
Retention: After the desired alignment is achieved, your orthodontist will remove the braces. To prevent your teeth from shifting back, a retainer may be provided to be worn for a specific period.

Fixed orthodontic braces offer several advantages for patients seeking teeth alignment:

Effective Alignment: Fixed braces provide precise control over tooth movement, making them highly effective in correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues, including crooked teeth, crowded teeth, gaps, and bite irregularities.
Customized Treatment: Each patient’s treatment plan is tailored to their specific needs and goals, ensuring optimal results and a beautiful smile.
Long-Term Stability: The stability of fixed braces helps maintain the corrected alignment of your teeth, reducing the risk of relapse.
Modern Aesthetics: With advancements in orthodontic technology, braces are now available in various materials and designs, including tooth-colored or clear options, making them less noticeable and more aesthetically pleasing.

Fixed orthodontic braces are a reliable and proven method

for achieving a straight and healthy smile. With the ability to correct various orthodontic issues, these braces provide effective and customized treatment options. Despite some temporary discomfort and additional oral hygiene efforts, the advantages of fixed braces far outweigh the disadvantages. Consult with an
experienced orthodontist to determine if fixed orthodontic braces are the right choice for you and take the first step towards transforming your smile.
