TEETH STRAIGHTENING

Examine our teeth-straightening choices to regain your confidence.

Considering smiling more erectly?

  • Teeth misalignment can lead to functional issues and undue strain on your mouth in addition to being a cosmetic concern. Additionally, it may result in gum disease, tooth wear, decay, and fractures.
  • The technique of shifting teeth to improve smile appearance and preserve dental health is known as orthodontics.
  • To get the finest results, you can employ teeth straightening either by itself or in conjunction with restorative procedures.
  • Our group provides a wide range of fixed and detachable brace alternatives. These include more practical ceramic or metal braces to meet specific needs, as well as specialised braces like Damon.
  • The fixed coloured braces, which blend in with the natural colour of the tooth using a clear ceramic frame, are our most popular braces. This results in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance, and to further improve the overall appearance, the orthodontic wires are also coloured.

Although we acknowledge and advocate for the advantages of having a beautiful smile and healthy teeth, you should be informed that orthodontic treatment, like any other medical procedure, has dangers and restrictions. It is crucial to be aware of these before deciding to start any treatment, even though they might not be enough to rule out treatment.

One well-liked choice is short-term orthodontics.

Depending on how severe the misalignment is, the system should be operational in six to eighteen months. This is merely an estimate of the time needed, though.

The system might not be suitable in a number of circumstances. These consist of, but are not restricted to:

  • Your back teeth’s position is known as buccal occlusion.

  • The horizontal relationship between the upper and lower teeth is known as overjet.

  • The vertical relationship between the upper and lower teeth is known as overbite.

  • Teeth midline correction

  • Issues with facial profiles

  • Placing the tooth roots in the optimal stability position (also called tooth/root torque)

  • TMD : Dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint

In order to fully rectify the aforementioned problems, a specialist orthodontist is frequently needed, and treatment may typically take longer. Conventional orthodontic treatment cannot be replaced by temporary braces. After evaluating you, the dentist will let you know if you fit into any of these groups.

TEETH STRAIGHTENING

Good patient cooperation is necessary for all orthodontic treatments in order to provide the best possible health for your teeth and gums.

Good oral health and mouth hygiene

Before considering orthodontic treatment, your teeth must be in the best possible condition.

Before and during your treatment, the dentist will conduct an examination and could suggest that you schedule a visit with the hygienist. There will be an extra charge for this. During the course of treatment, more scaling and polishing can be needed.

Attendance at regular appointments

Every 4 to 8 weeks, your braces will need to be adjusted by your dentist or therapist. It is crucial that you show up for your appointments on time.

Wearing braces unsupervised can harm your gums and teeth. Your treatment will not proceed as planned if you miss your sessions, and in certain situations, it may even be discontinued.

Uneven Teeth:

Because of the wear caused by their prior locations, the teeth’s edges may appear uneven after orthodontic treatment.

Dead or non-vital teeth:

It has been explained that a deep filing technique or even a small blow might cause a tooth to lose life. This can happen over time, with or without orthodontic treatment. Endodontic (root canal) treatment may be necessary to preserve an undiscovered non-vital tooth that flares up during movement. Should this issue arise, further care would be needed, which may incur additional expenses.

Root Resorption:

During therapy, the teeth’s root ends may occasionally be shortened. We refer to this as root resorption. The shorter roots are not a drawback in good conditions. However, root resorption may shorten the lifespan of the impacted teeth if gum disease develops later in life. It should be mentioned that orthodontic therapy is not the cause of all root resorption. Root resorption can also result from endocrine problems, trauma, impaction, cysts, and other unidentified reasons. It can be necessary to stop treatment if there is significant root resorption.

TREATMENT TIME:

Within six to twelve months of the braces being put on, we expect you to start seeing positive outcomes. On occasion, though, the overall duration of treatment might be prolonged. Missed visits, malfunctioning equipment, and a lack of collaboration are all significant issues that may prolong the course of therapy and lower the calibre of the outcome.

EXPECTATIONS:

Every patient will see progress in their own problem. However, individual disparities in muscle balance, tooth sizes and shapes, and different levels of cooperation throughout treatment make ultimate perfection impossible. Additionally, each person’s treatment outcome will be influenced by inherited factors.

RELAPSE:

After receiving orthodontic treatment, teeth often revert to their initial position. Retainers are given to reduce relapse once the brace is taken off. To avoid relapse, wearing these devices requires complete participation.

MISCELLANEOUS RISKS:

Rare but potential events include dislodged restorations, chipped teeth, ingested appliances, detached brackets, and nickel or latex sensitivities.

IPR:

Making room for the teeth to shift is a crucial component of orthodontic treatment. The main methods for doing this are filing away tiny bits of enamel in between teeth or removing one or more teeth. Interproximal Reduction (IPR) is the term for this enamel filing technique.

Tooth sensitivity may be linked to IPR.
