Orthodontic Care ( Braces )
What are Braces?
Dental braces are an orthodontic treatment that straightens your child’s teeth using brackets bonded to each tooth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move teeth to the proper position. Gone are the days when a metal band with a bracket was placed around each tooth. Patients can now choose clear or metal brackets and, in some cases, the color of their orthodontic appliances. Wires are far less noticeable, and the latest materials are designed to move teeth faster with more comfort.
The job of braces goes beyond just smile correction. The patient doesn’t realize that it isn’t just correction of the smile it is the correction of the functioning of the jaw and that the smile is a byproduct of the entire process. The primary goal is to ensure that the upper and lower teeth fit together well and provide a normal bite. Having teeth and jaws in good alignment is the main idea, and a secondary result is that great smile.
Braces for kids offer numerous benefits.
Braces can:
- Correct an improper bite
- Ensure the top of your teeth
are aligned
- Help close spaces between teeth
- Improve eating and speaking functions
- Reduce the possibility of long-term wear and tear on your teeth
- Straighten teeth that are out of place.
