An insight into orthodontics
Orthodontics is the area of dentistry that makes use of teeth straightening appliances more commonly known as braces in order to straighten teeth that are either crooked, crowded or misaligned. Orthodontic treatment is becoming more and more popular with adults due to the advancements in said orthodontic appliances, which means that they are now more comfortable than ever before and there are now a range of orthodontic treatment options to suit different lifestyles. There are three main types of orthodontic treatments available for child and adult patients. The first are fixed appliances, which use brackets that are fixed on each tooth and held together with a wire which when tightened slowly moves your teeth into the desired position. The second type of orthodontic treatment is invisible braces. Similar to fixed braces they consist of brackets and wires however these braces are fixed onto the inner surface of a patient’s teeth, meaning they are completely hidden from sight and no one will be aware you are undergoing orthodontic treatment. Finally, the third type of orthodontic treatment is Invisalign, which uses advanced 3D technology to straighten your teeth. Unlike fixed and invisible braces, Invisalign is made of custom clear plastic aligners that you are required to change every two weeks throughout your treatment. These aligners are also removable meaning you can eat and drink your favourite foods as normal and you can maintain a good oral health regime.
