“All human desires are in some way related to beauty” .
Do you think you are too old to have braces?
Are you embarrassed from the metal dull look of traditional braces?
Maybe it is time for you to re-consider.
Modern technology left no place for those misconceptions. Orthodontic treatments are not only for teens or pre-teens, now also you can get the beautiful, pleasing smile you have dreamed of.
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.
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.
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.
