What are braces?
Dental braces are an orthodontic treatment used to align the teeth and give them a straighter and more attractive appearance. They are used for teeth alignment issues like crossbite, overbite, and underbite. They are traditionally made of brackets and wires, and other appliances like rubber bands or other wiring are used for more support..
It can take 6 months to 3 years to complete, depending on the patient
Commonly used in children and teenagers
Regular dental visits are very important

What are the Different Types of Braces?
There are several types of braces available, including:

• Traditional metal braces

These are effective and affordable and have metal brackets and wires. Their drawback is that they are visible on the teeth and require more maintenance. 

• Ceramic braces

Since they are tooth colored, they are less visible and offer the same result as traditional metal braces.

• Lingual braces

In this, the brackets are attached to the back of the teeth, which makes them invisible. Their drawback is that they are difficult to clean and can cause discomfort.

• Self-ligating braces

These braces use specialized clips to hold the wire in place, which does not require elastic bands. These are very comfortable and easy to use, which allows less time spent at the dentist. 

• Clear aligners

These are removable, clear, and custom-made. They are very comfortable and have less maintenance. They are made repeatedly according to the shifting teeth to the desired position. 
 

Who needs braces?
Braces are needed for many issues; it is better to identify these early on so that treatment can begin immediately. Some of the issues are: 

• Crooked Teeth

Teeth that are crowded, spaced unevenly, overlapping, and crooked also need braces to form a straightened smile for aesthetic appeal.

• Overbite

This is one of the most common reasons for getting braces when the upper teeth protrude away from the lower teeth excessively. This can alter the shape of the jaw and can cause pain and speech difficulties.

• Underbite

Opposite to the overbite, in this, the lower teeth protrude away from the upper teeth. This, too, can cause difficulties in biting and chewing besides causing jaw pain and speech difficulties. 

• Crossbite

In this, both the upper and lower teeth don't align or fit together, which can cause wear on the teeth. 

• Open bite

The upper and lower teeth don't match or meet when the mouth is closed. This can disorient the shape of the jaw and cause difficulty in biting and chewing. 

• Dental midline shift

A midline shift is when the center line of the lower teeth does not match or align with the upper teeth. However, this doesn't hamper the daily function but can have an uneven smile. 

• Other dental issues

In situations like gaps between teeth, rotated teeth, and other such issues, braces are used to perfect the alignment of the teeth.



Procedure For Getting Braces
The procedure for getting braces typically involves the following steps:

Step 1: The orthodontist will determine and evaluate the patient's dental health and use an X-ray to assess the course of action. Then the decision regarding the type of braces, treatment plan, cost, and duration of the treatment will be taken.  

Step 2: The orthodontist will next take the impression of the patient's teeth to create the custom braces and better evaluation and treatment course. 

Step 3: Then, the braces will be placed on the teeth, before which the teeth will be cleaned. Then, a dental adhesive will be applied to attach the brackets on the front tooth. Afterward, the orthodontist will thread a wire through the brackets and secure it.

Step 4: Regular appointments, varying from 2 to 4 weeks, will be scheduled to check the progress and adjust the wire. The wires are tightened to secure the teeth and to maneuver them in the desired place. 

Step 5: Once the teeth are straightened and properly aligned, the brace will be removed. Excess dental adhesive will also be removed or polished. 

Step 6: The patient will be provided with a retainer to ensure that the teeth retain their new position. The retainers can be fixed behind the teeth or removable, depending on the patient's choice. 

How to take care of braces?
Here are some of the tips to take care of the braces: 

• Brush and floss regularly to ensure that no food particle gets trapped in the brackets and wires.
• Avoid hard and sticky foods
• Use orthodontic wax to release discomfort
• Attend dentist appointments regularly
