Several reasons can lead to the misalignment of teeth which may further give rise to issues like speech defects, difficulty chewing and inability to maintain adequate oral hygiene.
Below are some of the most common issues an orthodontist is successfully capable of treating
Which cases can orthodontic treatment repair?
Types of braces
Metal braces
Most commonly used braces.
The result outcome or prognosis of treatment remains same as any other braces, the only disadvange is that they are unaesthetic.
Ceramic braces
They match your tooth color, and hence are less evident. Treatment duration & prognosis remains the same as with metal braces. But it's more cosmetically approved.
Lingual
They are placed on the inside or lingual surface of teeth so they are completely invisible from outside. It is preferred in adults, because maintaining hygiene would be slightly difficult as compared to children. And also it is preferred by people who need to be more presentable socially, like actors, models, public relations personnel etc.
Invisalign braces
It's a virtually invisible teeth straightening and also removable as opposed to other form of braces, its more smooth & comfortable instead of sharp metal braces.
Any patient undergoing orthodontic treatment must maintain a good oral hygiene& avoid hard & sticky food, in order to prevent teeth with braces, to get decayed.
