Installing braces is considered a cosmetic and therapeutic procedure at the same time. It contributes to correcting the problems of irregular teeth and their inconsistent alignment. It also helps in solving the problem of tooth crowding, and is considered one of the most effective solutions for improving dental health and giving them an aesthetic appearance.
Below, we will review the benefits of getting braces, their available types, and their costs, in addition to important information that you should know before making the decision to get braces.
The steps for installing braces vary depending on their type, and generally follow several successive stages, including:
Conducting the necessary tests to ensure that there are no contraindications to installing braces.
Cleaning teeth and treating any existing problems such as cavities.
Take accurate measurements of the jaw and teeth.
Send the measurements to the laboratory to manufacture the special braces.
Installing braces after manufacturing them according to the teeth’s sizes.
If the braces are of the fixed type, the doctor completes additional steps such as:
Applying a special material to attach the orthodontic supports to the surfaces of the teeth.
Precisely fix the orthodontic supports on the teeth.
Cleaning the mouth of fixative material.
Connecting the orthodontic supports with a strong wire to tighten the teeth and guide them towards the desired position.
There are some basic conditions that must be met by the patient to ensure the success of properly installing braces, including:
The teeth are free of decay to ensure that the braces fit well.
Gum health such that it is able to withstand the presence of braces without any infections.
Good health condition of the jaws to support the teeth during orthodontic treatment.
In the case of the elderly, it is preferable not to have diabetes, because high blood sugar levels may lead to complications in the jaw bone that affect the success of the orthodontics.
Orthodontics is used in several cases, including:
Upper jaw protrusion: The front teeth protrude noticeably from the back, causing bite problems and an asymmetrical appearance.
Inconsistency in the size and shape of teeth inside the mouth.
Increasing the number of teeth: Here the doctor resorts to extracting some teeth, then installing braces to achieve the desired consistency.
Lack of teeth, as braces help improve the appearance of the remaining teeth.
Genetic problems, such as jaw protrusion, that affect the shape of the teeth.
Wrong habits, such as thumb sucking, which lead to problems with the arrangement of the teeth.
Early loss of baby teeth in children, which requires braces later to ensure proper growth of permanent teeth.
The presence of large gaps between the teeth.
Crowded teeth and irregular rows.
Preparing teeth for Hollywood Smile as a step before installing crowns or veneers to achieve the perfect smile.
