Orthodontics (Braces Treatment)

This treatment is required for correct positioning of mal-aligned teeth.

Types of braces:

• Metal Braces:Made up of stainless steel.
• Ceramic Braces:Aesthetically more acceptable since these are tooth colored.
• Lingual Braces:These are metal braces but fitted in back of the teeth.
• Invisalign:Customized removable appliance which are very comfortable.

We, usually, advice the patient to start the treatment around 10-12 yrs of age during the growth phase of the children to achieve best and faster results.

Phases involved in Braces Treatment:

• Fixing of braces on the teeth.
• Regular follow-ups every month involving tightening and change of wires and brackets.
• After completion of the treatment giving retention either by retention plates or fixed retainers.
