Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontic Treatment

othodontic-01

At Aram Dental Clinic we treat orthodontic problems in children and adults with regular metal braces, tooth-coloured or clear braces and with invisible lingual braces. Orthodontic treatment is used to improve the appearance, position and function of crooked or abnormally arranged teeth. If you're considering getting braces, you've already heard about the various types of braces available. But what exactly are they and which one is best for you?

We also provide dental implants and crowns for patients whose teeth have been damaged or removed due to injury or disease. Dental implants are a great permanent replacement for missing teeth. They can be used as stand-alone replacements or in combination with removable partial dentures, full dentures or bridges. Orthodontic treatment is available for patients who need to straighten their teeth but do not require jaw surgery (Orthognathic Surgery).

What's the difference between metal braces and ceramic braces?

Well, metal braces are generally more visible than ceramic ones. They can also be more uncomfortable because they can cause irritation with your gums, cheeks and tongue. However, some people prefer metal because they feel that it's sturdier than ceramic (and therefore more effective). Ceramic braces are typically less visible—you could get away with wearing them without any clear aligners at all! However, these are more expensive than their metal counterparts.

Self-ligating braces are similar to traditional metal ones but have a mechanism that makes them easier to clean and maintain. This makes them slightly less expensive than traditional metal braces as well. Then there's lingual braces: these are hidden behind your teeth so that only your dentist will see them! Lingual can be used on both adults and children but they're more expensive than most other types of braces.

Aligner

Clear Aligners or Invisible Braces are transparent teeth clips made of special material that is designed to straighten your teeth to perfection. Unlike metal braces, Aligners are painless, comfortable, and portable. They are custom-made braces for every patient through digital scans that bring the brightest smile to your face.

Advantages of Aligner

Appearance: Aligners are less noticeable than braces as they are clear and custom made to fit your teeth. This can be a factor for many, but not all patients.

Diet: As you remove your aligners to eat, your diet is not affected. You will still be able to eat the foods you like. Some foods are difficult or uncomfortable to eat with braces and can cause breakages which can delay treatment and require extra visits to have repairs carried out.

Hygiene: As your aligners are removable, you can brush and floss as per normal. This is significant as cleaning your teeth with braces in place is challenging for many patients.

Appointments: As the tooth movement is pre-planned by your dentist, the actual visits to the practice are usually much simpler and, in some cases, can be fewer overall. This can be a big advantage for all those who are living busy lives!

Comfort: Generally speaking, aligners are more comfortable than braces. Although the teeth can still be somewhat tender as they begin to move, the lips and cheeks tend to be less irritated as the plastic aligner is smoother than the metal or porcelain braces. This may be particularly relevant for those playing contact (or semi-contact) sports.

Which is the perfect time to start Dental Braces Treatment?

You're never too young or old to start getting braces. Dental braces can be used to correct misaligned teeth, crowded teeth, and underdeveloped jaws. They are most commonly performed on children, but with the advancements in technology and dental care, more and more adults are beginning to receive this treatment. As soon as the problem is identified, any age could be a right age to start correcting the teeth and jaw in position. For setting right the teeth, the most common age is 11-13 years.

Does Dental Braces lead to cavities?

Braces are designed to correct your teeth alignment, so you can have a healthy, beautiful smile for the rest of your life.

But there are some things you can do to make sure you don't end up with dental cavities when you get braces—or after! Here's how to avoid getting cavities around your braces:

  1. Brush your teeth twice a day, once in the morning and again at night, with a fluoride toothpaste.

  2. Floss daily, using disposable flossers or regular flossing threaders if necessary.

  3. Use mouthwash after every meal and snack that requires rinsing out of the mouth (this includes most meals).
