The above dental problems are making it difficult with eating, proper speaking or keeping your teeth clean. Today metal braces becoming smaller and more comfortable. The traditional braces or the metal braces consist of metal brackets and arch wires. They need periodic tightening and the pressure straightens the teeth gradually. Silver metal braces are most commonly used in orthodontic treatment. Elastic ties are also used to hold the brackets and the arch wires together. Traditional braces have excellent control over the teeth.

Traditional braces are made of  high quality stainless steel or titanium. The major three parts of metal braces are :

Brackets : They are attached to the teeth using a special type of glue and that holding brackets in place.

Arch wires : Help to move the teeth by applying force. It is a thin metal wire that connects the brackets.

Ligature : It is the elastic tie or rubber band that holds the metal brackets and arch wire together.

Metal braces are removed only after the completion of treatment.  Once the brackets are applied on the teeth, they constantly make pressure on the teeth and forces to move them into proper positions. Also need the periodic tightening of the arch wire. It is necessary to care the braces throughout the orthodontic treatment.

Advantages of Metal Braces

• You can use darker ligature, which cannot show curry, smoking, or black coffee stains. Self ligating metal braces have no ligature. So it does not make stain.
• Metal braces are very strong.

Disadvantages of metal braces

Procedure

Dentist checks overall dental hygiene. Takes plaster model of teeth that help to plan the treatment. The brackets are attached to the front side of premolar and the front teeth with  bonding glue.  Encircle the molar with ring like band. Then the arch wire is attached to all the brackets and connect them. The arch wire controls the movement of the teeth. In some cases ligature or rubber bands are attached to brackets and wires.

Working of Metal Braces

Teeth start to move when the arch wire puts pressure on the brackets and teeth. Elastic band or ligature help to apply more pressure to specific direction. Braces apply constant pressure for to move teeth into desired position. When the teeth start to move, then the patients can feel loosens of teeth. Bone is then remodeled to support the teeth in the new position. Can apply pressure to individual teeth by customizing the arrangement of arch wire.

How long will have to wear the braces ?

The time required for the metal braces treatment varies from person to person. That depends different factors such as severity of the problem, the distance the tooth must travel, health of gums, teeth, and supporting bones etc. Once the braces are worn it will last for 2 years. After the completion of the treatment patient needed to wear retainers. It is for to prevent the relapse of teeth and to hold them in new positions.

Oral hygiene is very important with having braces. Because food and plaque can get trapped in between braces and wires. That lead to dental decay and enamel stains. Food can react with metal braces and produce a bleaching effect which cause spotting on the teeth. Brush your teeth after every meal. And floss twice in a week. It is best to clean your retainer as often as you brush your teeth. Because of a chance to build up plaque and stain on it. Place retainer in a cup of water when it take out for cleaning.

You will be wearing your braces for a fairly lengthy period, so it is important to follow your orthodontist's instructions and care for them properly. While braces may seem like an inconvenience, once the treatment is over, your new smile will be all the reward you need.

Quik Overview About Orthodontics & Braces

Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry which deals with devices called Dental Braces to treat misalignment problems of the teeth. Misalignment problems are like crooked teeth, crowded teeth, protruding teeth, gaps between teeth, overbites, under bites etc. Application of these orthodontic devices will move the teeth to their correct positions. Every dentist won't be able to provide orthodontic treatment, it needs orthodontic specialist who is specially trained in providing this treatment.

The dental braces have different components like brackets, metal wires and bands which helps to straighten your teeth. The brackets are attached to the teeth with special gums. Metal wires are inserted through these brackets. For tightening the braces, bands will be given. So this will gradually move the teeth into the proper positions. 

 

The best time for braces treatment will be the age between 10 to 14. At this time the head and mouth will be still in the growing stage and teeth are more accessible to straightening. Also this will beautify your smile before you get into your teenage. Braces treatment can be done in adult stage also.

There are different types of dental braces which differs in their comfortability, shape, size, color, material used etc. They are,

Metal Braces

 

Metal braces are fixed, regular and traditional braces. These are more commonly used braces which are less cost compared with other braces. This uses brackets, bands, metal wires for straightening your teeth.

You can have yet another alternative for ceramic and metal braces called Self Ligating Braces. These types are entirely different from ordinary braces. This braces becomes special because it doesn't need bands like other normal braces. So this avoids to many appointments.

Lingual Braces

Lingual braces are cemented onto the back side of the teeth making it invisible to other peoples. It is used for aesthetic reasons, those who do not wish to show braces can have this type of braces. Lingual braces can be used in lower and upper teeth. Lingual braces corrects bad bite, gaps in teeth, crowded teeth, and rotated teeth.

Many of my patients who come to me for consultation often ask me this question why the treatment duration cannot be drastically cut down and also the number of visits to the orthodontic office cut down.

There are two solutions to this problem. 

One is to choose the invisible option i.e Invisalign-like Clearpath aligners for which the patient needs to come only two to three times for the complete treatment!!!

IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH

A nice smile is not only beautiful, it also promotes good health:

§  Straight and evenly spaced teeth are easier to keep clean, resulting in better
oral health.

§  Properly aligned teeth chew more efficiently, which may help digestion.

§  Aligned teeth create a better bite, which may reduce stress, headaches, and strain on your supporting bone and tissue.

§  According to the American Association of Orthodontists, crooked and crowded teeth are hard to clean and maintain. This may contribute to conditions that cause not only tooth decay but may lead to gum disease and tooth loss.

When left untreated, many minor orthodontic problems may become worse, contributing to abnormal wear of tooth surfaces, inefficient chewing, excessive gum stress on gum tissue, and misalignment of the jaw joints. This can all lead to chronic headaches or pain in the face or neck. Treatment by a specialist to correct minor orthodontic issues are often less costly than the additional dental care required to treat more serious problems that can develop in later years.

So, no matter what age you are it is never too early or too late to invest in braces and ultimately invest in yourself. Start enjoying the lifelong results today.
