Braces - A few questions you asked no one answered

What are braces?
Braces are appliances that the orthodontist uses to correct your bite. These braces are either fixed on to the teeth or rest against your teeth and bring about the desired movement of your teeth.


Why do we need braces?
Braces are used for the rectification of the deviated or crowding or abnormal arrangement of teeth by fixing braces onto the teeth, The causes for abnormal arrangements could be heredity, thumb sucking habit, mouth breathing, trauma or cavities,

Orthodontic treatment should be done at what age?
Although orthodontic treatment can be done at any age they are best carried out in young children of 8-15 years of age. During this age it is possible for the orthodontist to foresee any dental problems that are likely to occur and take preventive measures. The jaws are actively growing by 8-10 years of age. The permanent teeth start erupting by 6-7 years of age and complete erupting by 12-14 years (all except the wisdom teeth). This would therefore be the ideal time to start treatment,

What is the duration of the orthodontic treatment?
The duration of the treatment depends from person to person and from one orthodontist to other. Most jaw molding and jaw corrections carried out during the growing age takes 1-11/2 years. Orthodontic treatment with braces often takes 2-21/2 years,

What are the different types of braces available?
The most common type of orthodontic braces is the metallic type. They are steely in appearance and are used extensively.

For a more natural look, the orthodontist could fix for you ceramic braces or plastic braces that are tooth colored and therefore not noticeable, These of course are more expensive and you have to shell out some more money.

If you are young at heart and want to show off your braces then you should have colored or fluorescent braces. Gold braces are also available for the classy who want nothing but the best.
Why should you wear the retainer?

Once the braces are removed, the orthodontist will give you a retainer. A retainer is a removable type that you can remove and replace, These should be worn for a few months throughout the day and later for a few hours a day. One of the greatest challenges faced by orthodontists is the relapse of treatment, This means that teeth tend to go back to the original position. This occurs due to a number of factors, This is avoided by wearing the retainers that holds the teeth in the corrected position. The retainers give time for the bone and other tissues around the teeth to adapt to the new position.
