What is ORTHODONTICS, and why do people get braces?
Orthodontics is a special discipline of dentistry concerned with aligning the teeth and jaws to improve one’s smile and oral health. A dentist usually recommends braces to improve the patient’s dental appearance and function. Through orthodontic treatment, problems like crooked or crowded teeth, overbites or under bites, incorrect jaw position and disorders of the jaw joints are corrected.
When is the right time for BRACES?
Patients with orthodontic problems can benefit from treatment at nearly any age. An ideal time for placement of braces is between 10 and 14 years of age, while the head and mouth are still growing and teeth are more easily straightened. However, it should be noted that braces aren’t just for children. More and more adults are also wearing braces to correct minor problems and to improve their smiles.

it only about how I look? Many people think that most dental procedures are only for the sake of looking good, they don't see it as a potential health risk and a case that requires medical attention and care.Orthodontics goes far beyond a nice smile. They play an important role in oral health. Bite problems, for example, can cause the abnormal wearing of teeth, joint problems and headache. You won't be only having the perfect smile, but also a healthy and efficient lifestyle.
That depends upon your treatment plan. The more complicated your spacing or bite problem is, and the older you are, the longer the period of treatment, usually. Most patients can count on wearing full braces between 18 to 24 months, followed by the wearing of a retainer for at least a few months to set and align tissues surrounding straightened teeth.
The interconnecting wires are tightened at each visit, bearing mild pressure on the brackets to shift teeth or jaws gradually into a desired position. Your teeth and jaws may feel slightly sore after each visit, but the discomfort is brief. Keep in mind also that some teeth may need to be extracted to make room for teeth being shifted with braces and for proper jaw alignment.
On the second visit , we will reduce a small amount of the enamel of your teeth to make room for the veneers. An impression is then taken so that the porcelain veneer can be fabricated in the dental laboratory .Then, we will place temporary veneers to protect the teeth while the permanent version is crafted in Lab.
On your third visit , the veneers are bonded on your teeth. The final result with your veneers in place will look like a normal and beautiful teeth. At this time you can leave the dentist’s office with a brand new , beautiful smile !
Yes. Cut down on sweets and fizzy drinks. Sugary and starchy foods generate acids and plaque that can cause tooth decay and promote gum disease. Cut healthy, hard foods like carrots or apples into smaller pieces. Sticky, chewy sweets like toffees can cause wire damage and loosen brackets. Avoid hard and crunchy snacks that can break braces, including popcorn, nuts and hard sweets
With braces, oral hygiene is more important than ever. Braces have tiny spaces where food particles and plaque get trapped. Brush carefully after every meal with fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush. Rinse thoroughly and check your teeth in the mirror to make sure they’re clean. Take time to floss between braces and under wires with the help of floss. Have your teeth cleaned every six months to keep your gums and teeth healthy. Insufficient cleaning while wearing braces can cause enamel staining around brackets or bands.
Your dentist will usually refer you to an orthodontist-a specialist trained in the development, prevention and correction of irregularities of the teeth, bite and jaws and related facial abnormalities
