How often do you think about teeth? Our guess is, not very often. However, your teeth can play a huge role in your confidence. How? If you have misshapen or crooked teeth you may avoid smiling. This in turn will either make people assume that you are rude or not confident. The solution to all your teeth problems can be dealt with at a dental clinic in Pune or another city. Cosmetic dental procedures is one such treatment that can fix misshapen or crooked teeth. Let’s take a look at what cosmetic dental procedures are:
Cosmetic dental procedures are a part of oral health care that focuses on improving the appearance of your gum, bite, and teeth. It mainly focuses on the enhancement of tooth appearance in colour, shape, size, position, and overall smile appearance. There are various types of cosmetic dental procedures such as Teeth Reshaping, Teeth Whitening, Dental Braces, etc. in this article, we are going to understand in detail about dental braces.
Dental braces are a cosmetic dental procedure performed by an experienced dentist in Pune, or elsewhere to correct crooked or crowded teeth, or also to align a misaligned jaw, also known as malocclusion.
Dental Braces are usually made of metal or ceramic materials. bonding materials or wires are used to attach them to your teeth
There are four types of braces. Your dentist would suggest the right braces for you after considering various factors such as age, teeth positions, among other factors. Braces are custom-made according to the need of each person. Below are different types of braces.
Dental braces move your teeth by applying pressure on them for an extended period. The position of your teeth gradually changes because of this pressure. Most of us think that our teeth are directly connected to our jawbone. So, how can they move? But, it is not valid, our teeth are not directly connected to our jawbone. Underneath our gums, there is a membrane that is surrounded by our bones. And, it holds our teeth to our jaw. The primary responsibility of this membrane is to control the position of our teeth. And, when pressure is applied to your teeth by braces, the membrane responds to it and moves your teeth.
Now, coming to how braces are installed. After cleaning your teeth, the dentist applies ceramic, plastic, or stainless steel brackets on your teeth using glue. Then the dentist places elastic bands called O-rings around the brackets. They are responsible for applying pressure on your jaw.
When the dentist is installing braces, you shouldn’t feel any pain. But, in the following days of placement and after each adjustment, you may experience some discomfort. The pain would feel like throbbing or dull soreness. If you experience pain, you should inform your dentist; they can prescribe you some over-the-counter pain reliever. It is advised that you should install braces from top dentist clinics such as Acme Dental Clinic.
The period of treatment differs from person to person, but on average people wear braces for one to two years. If you follow the guidance of your dentist thoroughly, you can be sure that you’re wearing braces for the shortest duration that is possible.
Maintaining braces is not as hard as it may seem. You would need to avoid certain foods such as hard candy, chewing gum, and popcorn as they can get trapped between the braces and gum line. Furthermore, you have to make sure that you should not consume sugary beverages and starchy foods more often, as they can affect tooth enamel. The reason for this is when you have braces installed; your teeth are more likely to trap foods that can cause tooth decay.
But, you should not worry much about it, as you would need to visit your dentist every 6-8 weeks for adjustments. During your every visit the dentist will check your teeth to make sure that you are taking care of your braces and maintaining your oral health,
When you have braces, it is important that you take extra care of your oral health. You need to make sure that you brush at least three times a day, and if possible, after every meal. You can also use water flosser, to clean the area under the braces that are hard to clean with a regular brush. If you require you can also use a particular type of toothbrush called an ‘interdental toothbrush’ that can be used to clean around and underneath braces. Moreover, it would be best if you did proper teeth cleaning every six months from your dentist till the time you have braces.
Braces not just help is improving the appearance of your teeth by straightening them. But, they also improve overall oral health by aligning your jaw. Dental braces procedure is a slow treatment and may vary from person to person, and you should speak to your dentist to clear any doubts you have.
It is advised that you should undergo cosmetic dental procedures like dental implants in Pune or any of the choice of your city. Along with it, you should visit your dentist every six months so that he/she can overlook your oral health and advise you if you need to do any treatment.
