BRACES CLASSIFICATION • Metal Braces - Constructed of high quality stainless steel brackets & an • arch wire which goes through the brackets and puts a uniform force. • Ceramic Braces - Made up of white ceramic wires and brackets. As strong • as metal braces but are invisible on teeth and hence provide better face • visuals. • Lingual Braces – Known as inside braces as they are attached to the inside • of the teeth. • Invisalign Braces – Just like transparent mouth guards which athletes from • combat sports wear & most modern solutions in orthodontic issues.
Ideally age for braces considered around 12 or 13 as the teeth are not fully • grown and bone formation is still under process. • Adults have more limited opportunities to improve as the bones & teeth are • done growing and developing. Might have to wear braces for longer period of • time compared to a teenager. • Depending on the goals of treatment, many adults can get the smile they • want in year and less.
Avoid hard and chewy foods like meat, nuts and candy. • Breads, Cooked veggies, pulpy fruits can be eaten easily. • Avoid foods with high colour like caramel, soft drinks and turmeric to reduce • the risk of stained teeth. • Foods with sweeteners erode the enamel of teeth, making them yellowish and • hence should be avoided. • Children to be strictly discouraged chewing upon pencils and hard stuffs.

Braces can be fitted at any age of the time for adults. • Visit orthodontist in case of toothache, gum diseases, crooked smile or jaw • and ear pain. • Might have to consider surgery as bones are done growing in adults. • Process may take longer than a child, however it depends of case to case • basis. • Do consult with a regular dentist first so that there is no complications due to • bone remodelling or bone loss. • Braces can affect pregnancy in females.
Different on case to case basis. • Generally it takes between one to three years to take braces off. • Depends on the types of treatment – i.e. conventional braces takes • more time than lingual or Invisalign braces. • Age – Young patients tends to achieve quicker result than their older • counterpart. • Case complexity – Mild misalignment will take less time compared to • overcrowding or under bite and over bite issues. • Patient Compliance – also depends on how well the patient takes • care of the treatment.
A thorough pre check-up is required in first visit to plan the working of • braces. • Orthodontist will thoroughly examine the teeth, mouth & jaw. • X-rays of the mouth required to better understand current laying positions of • the teeth. • Might take a mould of your teeth and make a cast to decide how to make the • braces which can withstand the required pressure on each tooth. • Installation is not a painful process these days due to technological • advances. • Can take normal pain relievers if you fill a dull throbbing or soreness.
Works by putting constant pressure to the teeth and thus moving them • gradually in the required position. • Pressure is applied through arch wire attached to the bracket which transfers • the force to the teeth. • Sometimes rubber bands or spacers or springs are added to gain more force • on the particularly stubborn teeth. • Brackets are attached to the teeth based on pre check-up cast along with the • insertion of wires. • A narrow and flexible wire will be used to join the brackets in the initial stages. • As teeth start to become straighter, thicker arch wire is used to assert higher • pressure on the teeth and align them in proper position.
ADVANTAGES OF BRACES • Straightening of teeth – helps the patient with dental problems as well as • raises a confident smile. • Proper Alignment of teeth that are crooked. • Bringing the teeth closer and reducing the gap. • Prevents chipping and overly worn teeth due to uneven jaws or over-bite • and under-bite. • Prevents gum diseases by spacing the teeth properly and making space • available for flossing and cleaning. • Prevents jaw-weakness and muscle pain resulting from • misaligned teeth.
Regularly brushing the teeth after meals will keep food from becoming • stuck in the brackets or between the wires. • May require special floss which helps flossing between the teeth and • wire and around the braces. • Before brushing, rinse off your mouth with water so as to loosen any • stuck food particles. • Brush your each tooth individually by moving your brush in circular • motion at a 45-degree angle from gum line for 10 seconds with gentle • pressure. • Make sure to brush your tongue and the roof of your mouth as well.
HOW TO WHITEN TEETH AFTER BRACES? • If lingual or invisible braces are worn, whitening products will • work much as they do for people without braces. • With the conventional braces it is not at all suitable to use • whitening products since a part of teeth is covered with glue • and bracket. • Salt rinsing, baking soda brushing can be effective with • conventional braces. • Using good fluoride toothpastes and mouthwashes along with a • regular brushing and flossing schedule will also help in keeping • the tooth in up-to date condition.
A tooth removal may be necessary if there is less space available. • In adults, the bone and teeth are formed very well and they cannot • be moved to create space. The only ways are surgery or a tooth • removal. • When the child’s jaw development hasn’t met the speed of the • tooth maturation, crowding occurs. Teeth twist into unusual • positions so that they can accommodate all of the erupting teeth • around them. Extractions are necessary in such cases. • Apart from it when there is an impacted tooth, i.e. it is a permanent • tooth that wants to come out but can’t because of presence of • lower teeth, it is generally extracted and then aligned properly.
