Correct the way you bite
Orthodontics is the practice of straightening your teeth to create a better smile. Braces are a series of braces that use either metal brackets or clear plastic brackets to attach to your teeth, and wires or elastics are used to move teeth into a straighter position. Braces can be used to correct problems with a crowded or misaligned bite, gaps between teeth, or other problems which can cause pain or difficulty chewing. Orthodontic treatment can also be done to prevent or treat other problems, such as crooked teeth or a protruding jaw.
Benefits

- Improve self-confidence
Considerations
- Braces are not a permanent solution

- Requires patience and commitment

Orthodontic Treatment: Straightening Your Teeth and Improving Your Oral Health
What is Orthodontic Treatment?
Orthodontic treatment involves the use of dental appliances, such as braces or aligners, to correct misaligned teeth and jaws. The goal of orthodontic treatment is to improve oral health, function and aesthetics by straightening teeth, closing gaps, and fixing bite problems.
The Orthodontic Treatment Process
The orthodontic treatment process typically involves the following steps:
- Step 1: Initial Consultation: Your orthodontist will examine your teeth and jaw, take x-rays and impressions, and discuss your treatment options with you.
- Step 2: Treatment Planning: Your orthodontist will develop a personalized treatment plan that includes the type of appliance, duration of treatment and expected outcomes.
- Step 3: Appliance Placement: Braces or aligners are placed on your teeth according to the treatment plan.
- Step 4: Adjustment Visits: You will see your orthodontist periodically for adjustments to your appliance to ensure your teeth are moving toward their desired positions.
- Step 5: Retention Phase: Once your teeth have been moved into their correct positions, a retainer may be recommended to prevent them from shifting back.
Caring for Your Orthodontic Appliances
Proper care of your orthodontic appliances is essential to maintain their effectiveness and minimize the risk of damage or decay. It includes regular cleaning, avoiding hard or sticky foods, and scheduling regular check-ups with your orthodontist.
