Healthy teeth will last your child a lifetime. An essential basis for this is correct positioning of the teeth. Modern orthodontists offer several suitable options to enable the desired correction to be made with minimum inconvenience to the patient, in almost every case.
Fixed orthodontist is a treatment where the brackets are bonded on to the teeth with an adhesive. This allows the force to be transmitted on the teeth and push them back in the required position.
Modern brackets are precision miniature components.
Apart from wearing comfort, aesthetics play a crucial role under certain condition; it is possible to perform orthodontic procedures in such a way that they are usually unobtrusive where transparent brackets and tooth colour coated wires for force transmission are available. The matt transparency of the brackets matches with the colour of the teeth, ensuring an aesthetically pleasing appearance. Transparent plastic brackets are reinforced with special fillers, giving them sufficient strength force transmission. On the other hand, they are softer than dental enamel and so eliminate the risk of fracture abrasion of the tooth itself.
It is recommended to seek advice about orthodontic treatment from your dentist, as early as possible.
Latest edition is the Gold bracket and wire systems. These are comfortable to wear, have brilliant sparkling appearance and are absolutely biological compatible with no known tissue reactions and allergies.
There is also an option of self legating braces in both the steel and the transparent bracket system. Self legating braces have minimum friction between the wire and the bracket, thus causing rapid tooth movement in shortest possible time and at the same time being more patient friendly and ensuring more comfort.
Lingual braces are another treatment option which is truly an invisible form of tooth straightening. The complete system is attached on the lingual surface of teeth (back surface).
