How
does orthodontics work?
Orthodontics
uses the body's natural ability to regenerate its own tissue by using consistent, light force to slowly and gently move teeth into better positions
and reshaping bone.
It is
never too late to take advantage of orthodontic treatments. Orthodontics can
help you build a better smile which will increase your self-confidence and
benefit your social and professional life. Orthodontics doesn't just help with
looks, but it will also help you bite, chew, and speak better! Properly aligned
teeth are also easier to clean which will result in a healthier mouth.
Orthodontic
treatment can resolve a number of bite problems, including:
- Underbite
- Crossbite or Excessive overbite (where
a space remains between top and bottom teeth when the jaws are closed)
- Open bite
- Crowding or Excessive spacing (where
teeth are spaced too close together or too far apart)
Types of
Orthodontic Appliances:
In
order to correct any bite problems, the teeth need to be moved. Here are a few
ways we can gently move teeth:
Traditional braces
- Small metal brackets bonded to the
front of the teeth with a thin wire running through them.
Clear braces
- Use brackets made of ceramic or
plastic heals together by a slim archwire.
- These are hardly visible with the
exception of the archwire.
Lingual braces
- Similar to traditional metal
braces, but they are bonded to the back of your teeth.
- These are not visible.
Removable clear aligners
(Invisalign)
- Alternative to fixed orthodontic
appliances.
- Consist of clear plastic trays
that fit over your teeth.
Retention and
Orthodontic Care:
It is
very important to wear a retainer as directed once your orthodontic treatment
is finished. Teeth naturally tend to drift back to their original locations and
wearing a retainer holds your teeth in their new position long enough for new
bone and ligament to form around them. A retainer helps keep your gorgeous new
smile looking good for a lifetime.
