Orthodontics

General Information

Best Orthodontics Doctor is the branch of dentistry which deals with the complaints of crooked teeth, overlapped teeth, malpositioned, gap between the teeth. The treatment is famously known as the treatment of braces, however there is a lot more to ortho than just metal braces. Treatments may take from 3 months to upto 2 years. In the following section you will be acquainted with the various aspects of Orthodontics.

Why Orthodontics Treatment?

  • Involves correction of bad bite, repositions misaligned jaws, reduces overcrowding and straightens crooked teeth
  • Braces are used to correct bite problems and disocclusion, correcting these problems can correct tooth decay, gum disease etc
  • Purpose is to create a functional bite, which is partly tooth alignment and partly jaw position. When jaws and teeth line up correctly or are in alignment, it means function(biting, chewing, speaking) is improved

What Are Niti Wires And Arch Wires?

Arch wires are designed to move teeth with light, continuous forces.

NITI-Wires are shape memory metals which retain their shape no matter how they are bent.

This property of the wire makes it a favourable metal to correct any malformed arch.

What Are Self Ligating Brackets?

Standard metal braces consist of brackets that are attached to a patient’s teeth, and an archwire is threaded through the brackets using o-rings — little rubber bands — to hold it in place. Self-ligating brackets, on the other hand, feature a small gate at the front that secures the archwire when closed. SLBs apply less friction to a patient’s teeth, and no o-rings are required.

Advantages:

  • Faster treatment because less friction allows teeth to move freely
  • More comfortable due to less friction
  • Long intervals between appointments
  • Better results
  • Working to protect your teeth from the outside.

Disadvantages:

  • Not the most cost effective option

What Is Lingual Orthodontics?

Lingual brackets are brackets which are attached to the back of the teeth so that they are not visible outside.

Advantages:

  • Brackets are not visible
  • They are manufactured digitally and customized to fit on your teeth

Disadvantages:

  • Difficult to maintain hygiene
  • Higher chances of Secondary Caries
  • Trauma to the tongue and floor of the mouth
  • Expensive as compared to conventional treatment.

Ceramic Brackets make the ortho treatment more inconspicuous.
