ORTHODONTICS in NIRUJAA CLINIC

Orthodontics, orthodontia, or orthodonture

(from Greek orthos "straight or proper"; and odous "tooth") is the first specialty of dentistry that is concerned with the study and treatment of malocclusions (improper bites), which may be a result of tooth irregularity, disproportionate jaw relationships, or both. Orthodontic treatment can focus on dental displacement only, or can deal with the control and modification of facial growth. In the latter case it is better defined as "dentofacial orthopaedics". Orthodontic treatment can be carried out for purely aesthetic reasons with regards to improving the general appearance of patients' teeth. However, there are orthodontists who work on reconstructing the entire face rather than focusing exclusively on teeth.

The normal position of the teeth not only helps in good oral health but also overall well being and personality of an individual. The correct tooth position of teeth is an important factor for affecting the looks, function and for overall preservation and restoration of dental health. Most of the irregularly placed teeth not only adversely affect the health of an individual but also produce undesirable function and looks imbalance.

BRACES

Braces (Orthodontics)- Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry involved with straightening of crooked teeth, correction of improper bite, correction of poor facial appearance and improvement of smile. There are a lot of myths about orthodontics and the below mentioned facts will help you understand this discipline of dentistry better.

For most people, a beautiful smile is the most obvious benefit of orthodontics. After your braces come off, you'll feel more self-confident. During your treatment, we want you to feel as comfortable as possible.

How Orthodontic Treatment Works

Orthodontic appliances can be made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. They may be removable or they may be brackets bonded to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move teeth to a corrected position. This is a great time to wear braces! Gone are the days when a metal band with a bracket was placed around each tooth. You can choose brackets that are clear or metallic color. You can choose the color of the ties that hold the wire in brackets. Wires are also less noticeable than they used to be and the latest materials move teeth faster with less discomfort to patients.

FAQ?

What is orthodontics?

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. The purpose of Orthodontics is to treat any type of "Bad bites" or malocclusion that harms the form, function and appearance of teeth and jaws.

Why Orthodontics (Why straighten teeth)?

Crooked and crowded teeth are hard to clean and maintain. This contributes tooth decay, gum disease and tooth loss. Straight teeth contribute to healthy teeth and gums resulting in an effective bite and beautiful smile.

A bad bite also causes abnormal wear of tooth surfaces, difficulty in chewing and/or speaking, excessive stress on supporting bone and gum tissues and potential joint problems. Many problems if left untreated worsen with time and may require extensive dental care later.

Children and adults whose malocclusions are left untreated may go through life with reduced self esteem and lack of confidence, affecting their performance in all spheres of life.

Who should you visit for braces?

Braces are special dental treatment. The specialist giving braces is called an orthodontist- who has done a master's program- M.D.S. A qualified orthodontist is a dental specialist who can diagnose, prevent and treat facial and dental irregularities. All orthodontists are dentists but only a very small percentage of dentists are orthodontists. Every dental specialist with an M.D.S degree is not an orthodontist as dentistry has many branches of specialization. Here, you will be in the office of a qualified orthodontist who has the vision, foresight and the skills to proficiently place orthodontic appliances and achieve corrections for your teeth, jaws and face that will last a life time.

What is the best age for treatment or an initial check up?

It is recommended to get the first orthodontic check up done at the age of 7years. Most treatments usually begin between the ages of 10 and 14, certain problems with jaw growth and alignment/space for erupting teeth can be detected by an orthodontist early and are easier to treat. However orthodontic treatment today is possible at any age. Adults with healthy gums and bone support to the teeth can undergo orthodontic treatment at any age.

What are the different types of braces available?

Braces vary in appearance. Some braces are clear, nearly invisible (ceramic) while others are made of stainless steel and may or may not have colored elastics around them. For adult patients, "INVISIBLE BRACES" are available which are attached to the teeth from inside and hence are not visible outside. These are also called as lingual braces. Dr. Nillachandra Kshetrimayum has undergone special training in Lingual Orthodontics.

How long does the treatment usually last?

Treatment duration varies according to the complexity of the problem and age of the patient. Usually the treatment lasts from 18 to 24 months.
