How We Create Smile With Braces

Crowded and crooked teeth are one of the most unpleasant things to see when a person smiles. The spacing as well as disarrangement of our teeth makes us feel more insecure about how our teeth look like and we do not want to show them off. How about taking a leap towards healthy and well-aligned teeth that goes along with that beautiful smile?

Orthodontics is a specialization of Dentistry that deals with the study and treatment of misaligned, asymmetric, and malocclusion of the teeth. The word itself came from the Greek word Orthodontia, Orthos, meaning “straight or proper” and odous “tooth”. Let’s get to know more how we create smile with braces.

The treatment consists of several appliances and techniques that are opted for each case. Each appliance has indications as well as considerations that are being derived after a careful diagnosis and treatment planning. These appliances also have an associated technique that will be used throughout the treatment. An orthodontic appliance can either be fixed or removable. The former is the mainstream of the entire treatment as it does its own “magic” to move the teeth to its proper alignment and occlusion. The latter is used either for pre-orthodontic or post-orthodontic treatment purposes. Removable appliances can also be used during the fixed appliance stage if there is a need to do so. Orthodontic appliances are made of either metal or ceramic material.

Orthodontic treatment is one of the best ways to correct the alignment as well as the esthetic value of the teeth. The treatment evolves within each appointment as the Orthodontist moves them slowly towards their proper orientation in the oral cavity. This treatment can be applied both to children and adults and for some cases, orthodontic surgeries are advised for cases which are more complex and challenging (those which are a combination of bone and dental abnormalities).

So how we create smile with braces

Your first orthodontic appointment will consist of various examinations. These include: 1. Oral examination to see the visual condition of your teeth and the surrounding tissues like your lips, gums and cheeks. 2. A profile examination will be conducted to assess the shape and symmetry of your face and 3. Diagnostic examinations include: Panoramic and Cephalometric radiographs, impression for study casts or teeth models as well as impression on bite wax.

The second phase of the orthodontic process is the diagnosis and treatment planning. In this stage, your Orthodontist will carefully examine your profile pictures, your radiographs and your teeth model to come up with the most suitable and best treatment plan for you. He/She will choose the best appliance to be used for the entire treatment and will discuss with you the important points within the treatment period. It is important that you ask questions which you would like to know about your orthodontic treatment as well as inform your Orthodontist about your expectations. This will help them create the best treatment for you and keep you comfortable throughout the process.

The next phase is the active treatment where your braces will be installed. Here, you will find a lot of changes as the braces are attached on the surfaces of the teeth. Some may find discomfort on the speech and chewing, but it is important that you inform your Orthodontist about this so he/she can help you adjust and get used to it. It is important that you clean your teeth with braces all the time to avoid unnecessary dental visits for gum and periodontal problems. You should also minimize eating hard and sticky foods to keep the braces from falling or breaking. Broken brackets will lengthen the time of the orthodontic treatment because they stop the movement process of your teeth unless your Orthodontist re-cements them immediately.

The last phase will be the finishing and contention stage. Finishing your orthodontic treatment is one of the crucial stages in the process because the teeth have to be well-occluded and aligned at this phase. Surgical corrections should have been done at this time and the final movements should be positively seen by your Orthodontist. You should not miss any appointments to avoid your long treatments. You will see a very interesting result once you have followed all your Orthodontist’s instructions as well as done your part in keeping an excellent oral hygiene. Once your teeth are already aligned, and with proper conclusion, your Orthodontist will then remove the braces and will let you wear an appliance to stabilize the teeth for a certain period of time.

A very impressive and excellent Orthodontic treatment will be seen at the end of the treatment and you will see the good changes within your smile, your chewing as well as how you look like with that beautiful set of healthy, aligned teeth.
