Orthodontic therapy, by detecting and gradually adjusting the positions of crooked teeth, changes smiles. Traditional braces utilize brackets bonded to each tooth, connected by archwires that apply controlled forces to guide movement. Tooth size brackets are miniaturized and thus minimally aresolvable with materials ranging from tooth-colored ceramic compounds to increase esthetics. The steady force gradually rectifies crowding, space discrepancies, overbites, underbites and crossbites.
Nearly invisible therapy, comfort improvement without metal components, and removability for eating and oral care. Advanced planning software allows patients to preview projected results before treatment.
Orthodontic treatment delivers benefits beyond cosmetic improvement. Properly aligned teeth function more efficiently during chewing, reducing abnormal wear and stress on supporting structures. Orthodontic treatment of the teeth produces a straight dentition, which is easier to clean, thereby decreasing the risk of caries and periodontal disease. Correction of malocclusions can improve symptoms of temporomandibular joint, headache, and speech problem. Many patients experience enhanced self-confidence and social comfort.
Treatment duration usually covers 12-24 months, depending on the complexity. Retention after active treatment is of paramount importance to sustain the therapeutic results, patients using removable or bonded retainers. Regular monitoring ensures stability and addresses minor shifts promptly. With continuing advancements, achieving your ideal smile has become more comfortable and convenient, making orthodontics an excellent investment in both oral health and personal confidence.
