Why do you need a tooth report?
- We not only improve the appearance of smiles, but also offer many oral hygiene benefits. Here are some reasons why patients should be encouraged to have orthodontics.
- False bites put uneven pressure on individual teeth, causing excessive wear, cracks and fractures.
- False pressure on the jaw caused by a false bite can stress the temporomandibular joints of small connective tissues, which leads to painful movements of the jaw.
- If the teeth are not evenly spaced, it can be difficult to clean the teeth and increase the risk of tooth decay and periodontal disease.
Types of braces
Metal braces are made of stainless steel and are often used by children and adolescents. Ceramic and cosmetic braces are often the choice of adults who do not want metal braces. These transparent braces can be made of tooth-colored ceramic or placed behind the teeth to completely hide them. Clear aligners are popular not only with adults but also with older teenagers and are also “invisible”. This removable aligners are easy to wear, clean and demand no restrictions
When inserting the bands or brackets, cheek retractor is used to keep the teeth visible and dry during the procedure. The teeth are first polished and then air dried to ensure that the brackets are properly attached. Apply conditioner to the front of the tooth for 30 seconds to prepare the bracket for gluing. It cleans, dries the teeth and applies an adhesive primer to the teeth to improve the adhesive process. The cement is applied to the back of the bracket and then to the designated area of the tooth. Once the bracket is in place, excess cement is removed and the bracket is cured with strong light. Remove the retractor and attach the dental arch wire. The entire process of gluing the brackets and placing the arch wires can take an hour. The time period is often determined by the time it takes to properly deploy the component to address a particular condition of the individual. If you put on the brace first and adjust it later, you can expect tension about 4-6 hours after booking. This usually leads to pain. This pain is a direct result of the arch wire tightening the teeth in place. Over-the-counter (OTC) painkillers are recommended to help relieve this pain. The pain can be expected to subside in about 3-5 days.

Life in braces
It is important to maintain proper oral hygiene and avoid certain foods. It is very important to brush at least 3 times a day, as inadequate brushing can damage the enamel of your teeth. Many orthodontists advise their patients to carry a toothbrush so that they can brush their teeth after lunch at work or school. For better oral hygiene, you should use an interdental brush and a water skewer to clean the underside of the dental arch. Fluoride-containing mouthwashes are also recommended to maintain the underlying enamel and tooth structure. Orthodontics braces also suggest diets that avoid sticky foods. This is because they can get stuck under the braces and lead to peeling. Hard foods and sweets should also be avoided. They can break the bond between the bracket and the enamel or perhaps the brace itself. Foods like apples should be chopped to avoid damage. Avoid foods and drinks that are high in sugar and acid. These make oral hygiene extremely difficult and can damage the enamel of the teeth.
