Orthodontics
Braces-Metal Ceramic Invisible
For people considering getting braces, there are numerous orthodontic options available today. From traditional metal braces to Invisalign aligners, deciding which option is best for your specific needs can be difficult. Your dentist will almost certainly refer you to an orthodontist who will work with you to explain the advantages of each type. Adult orthodontic patients frequently prefer ceramic braces because they are less noticeable than metal alternatives: They are made of translucent materials, and some even have tooth-colored wires to make them more discreet This can make a significant difference. Apart from weight, research shows that people are more likely to be insecure about their teeth than any other physical trait. With that in mind, it’s no surprise that people, particularly adults, prefer almost invisible braces
Strong and long-lasting
Metal braces are extremely durable and provide excellent control due to the strength of the materials used. The disadvantage is that metal braces are more likely to cause discomfort, and the materials inevitably leave a metallic taste in your mouth
Discoloration is less likely to occur.
Metal braces are less likely to discolor because they are made of darker materials. This can be an issue with ceramic braces, but it can be avoided by brushing after every mo and mouthwash, and avoiding foods that are red or yellow in color, such as mustard and tomatoes Invisible braces are intended for adults and older teenagers, but they are not advised when baby teeth are at present Traditional metal braces with brackets/wires on the front of the th will be required for children and younger teenagers with orthodontic problems. Only your dentist or orthodontist can tell you if you are a candidate. Due to the requirement for absolute and rigid cooperation, the alternative treatment was designed primarily for adults, the “trays are worn 22 hours per day and should not be forgotten or lost.
Jaw Surgery
Jaw surgery can realign or re adjust the jaw. It is also known as orthognathic surgery. Most of the time, it is performed by oral or maxillofacial surgeons in collaboration with an orthodontist.
During this procedure, your surgeon will:
- Make an incision in the gurns above your upper teeth to gain access to the upper jaw bones.
- They cut into the bone of your upper jaw so that they could move it as a single unit.
- Move your upper jaw forward so that it aligns and fits properly with your lower teeth.
- Plates or screws should be used to secure the adjusted bone in its new position.
- Close the incision in your gums with stitches.
