Braces

Braces can be used as a treatment option for several dental conditions where the teeth need to be moved into a new position. These can include crooked teeth, crowded teeth, forwardly placed teeth, large gaps between teeth, overbites, and underbites. They not only look unaesthetic but also invite many problems like compromised oral hygiene which leads to tooth decay, gingivitis or even periodontitis.

Braces are fixed to your teeth in particular position for a specific time duration without damaging your teeth, gums and jaw. Braces are used with the help of special wires and accessories on your teeth to help and facilitate the correction of malpositioned teeth and bring them into the most functional and aesthetic position for permanent and stable results. Not only will braces help align and straighten your teeth but will also help improve your overall dental health.

Common types of braces are

  • Metal braces - Traditional type of braces and can be used to correct most dental problems.
  • Ceramic braces - Clear or tooth-coloured hence aesthetically appealing.
  • Lingual braces - Attached to the back surface of the teeth so they are virtually unnoticeable

Whether it’s traditional braces or custom made removable appliances, orthodontic treatment/braces can help you have the healthy, beautiful smile you’ve been always waiting for!
