Orthodontics
Orthodontics is concerned with the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of improper bites resulting from tooth irregularity and improper jaw relationships. Braces are customized appliances used to correct these problems. Crooked or overcrowded teeth can cause a variety of difficulties, including tooth decay, gum disease and damage to jaw joints.
An orthodontic treatment can change your face shape and smile which in turn translates into an improved self-image .
Without treatment, orthodontic problems can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, bone destruction, chewing and digestive difficulties, speech impairments, tooth loss and other dental injuries.
At Smiles different types of braces are used for a particular treatment , the type for you depending on your age , budget, desired length of treatment, how bad the condition is and your aesthetic requirements. Dr. Madhav Manoj , our friendly orthodontist, has extensive experience in this field and will be able to advise you on your suitability.
Metal braces
Small metal brackets are glued to the front of the teeth and are joined together with fine metal wires. They are cheap but aesthetically not so appealing to that of ceramic braces.
Ceramic braces
Instead of the metal attachments, the brackets are replaced by tooth colour , clear ceramic material. Ceramic braces are popular though they are expensive than metal braces.
Lingual Braces
These braces are worn behind the teeth .They have the advantage of being not noticeable but can be irritant to the tongue. These braces are recommended for some types of orthodontic corrections.
