Dental Braces Treatment in Singara Chennai

Everyone desires a bright and lovely smile. However, various orthodontic issues prevent people from having a beautiful smile. Crooked, crowded teeth, gaps in teeth, and other misalignment issues can be addressed by an orthodontist. Orthodontic issues not only take away your beautiful smile, but they also cause a variety of digestive health issues. Misaligned teeth cause overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite. Dentists recommend that teeth positioning be corrected as soon as possible.

What Are Braces?

Braces are dental appliances that correct problems with your teeth such as crowding, crooked teeth, and out-of-alignment teeth. Braces are commonly worn by teenagers, but they can also be worn by adults. Braces gradually straighten and align your teeth so that you have a normal bite as you wear them. Some people wear braces to straighten their teeth. While many general dentists can perform basic tooth alignment and treat other dental problems, orthodontists specialize in teeth straightening. After dental school, a dentist studies and trains as an orthodontist for two to three years. Our orthodontist will ask you health-related questions, perform a clinical examination, digitally scan your teeth, photograph your face and teeth, and arrange mouth and head X-rays. We'll devise a treatment based on this information. How Long Should One Wear BracesThe amount of time it takes to get braces differs from person to person. It is dependent on:

  • What is the severity of your problem?
    The quantity of space you have in your mouth.
  • How well do you follow directions?
    The length of time it takes for your teeth to move depends on the health of your teeth, gums, and supporting bone.
Braces are typically worn for one to three years after they are placed. For the first six months after braces are removed, most people must wear a retainer at all times. After that, you must only wear it when sleeping, but you can do so for many years.

Process After Braces

The orthodontist will carefully clean your teeth when your braces are removed. They may want to take further X-rays and bite imprints to see how well the braces worked and if you've developed any wisdom teeth. If your wisdom teeth start to erupt after your braces are gone, your dentist or orthodontist may recommend that you have them extracted to keep your newly aligned teeth from slipping. A retainer, which is a vital aspect of post-braces maintenance, will be fitted by your dentist or orthodontist. Even if braces have effectively straightened your teeth, the bones, gums, and muscles must adjust to the alteration before they are entirely established in their new position. Teeth also have a tendency to move over time. As a result, the length of time a retainer should be worn varies from person to person.

Foods Should You Avoid During Braces Treatment

Braces are a delicate accessory. If a piece of the appliance breaks, the teeth may move in the wrong direction, requiring more treatment time. Anything firm, sticky, or chewy should be avoided, such as:

  • Ice-cream
  • Nuts
  • Popcorn
  • Candy that is hard to break
  • Gum chewing
  • Caramel-like chewy candy
  • Gummies
  • Foods that are hard or difficult to bite, such as apples or bagels
  • Pretzels made of hard dough
  • Carrots
