Orthodontic treatment in our clinic aims to improve your facial profile .We give attention to your skeletal,dental and soft tissue discepencies of and the face bones as such. Our treatments start up with focus on such aspects only. Your smile is the most striking part of your face and for that having straight teeth is important. Teeth that are crooked or out of place affect the way a person chews talks or smiles. They will be harder to clean and have more chances to have cavities. Crooked teeth can also affect the way jaw closes and can cause pain and discomfort. Our method of correcting this is through orthodontic treatment using braces and retainers. It works by exerting gentle pressure over time to straighten teeth that are growing or have grown to a fully erupted state and out of place.
Some advantages of Orthodontic treatment
1. You will be able to chew your food better. If your teeth are not straight, you will not be able to chew your food correctly and food can get stuck in between leading to bad breath and cavities.
2. Changes your facial appearance and gives you more appealing look.
Some basic parts of treatment include Braces, Bands and Arch wires.
Braces :- They are attached to teeth
Band :- Attached to tooth that anchors tooth
There are many types of bands and brackets. As time progressed more esthetically acceptable brackets are available like Ceramic- tooth coloured bracket. Most advanced lingual orthodontics are done in which brackets are laced the tooth and cannot be viewed from front. The treatment span ranges from a year to a half because of the complexity and importance of the treatment. The movement of the teeth is done slowly in order to avoid damage to the underlying tissues. After the treatment, usually retainers provide to give a period of fixation for the newly moved teeth in position without returning to the malaligned position.
