What are Braces?
Braces are the orthodontic appliances that work to gradually move the misaligned teeth or jaw to ideal positions. They are only provided by a certified orthodontist, a dental specialist in teeth straightening and fixing of malocclusions.
Different Braces Types
There are five types of braces, based on the material they are composed of and where or how they are placed inside the mouth.
- Metal braces- These are the conventional, highly durable and visible, and most affordable braces. These fixed braces systems have metal brackets and arch wires, and elastic bands (metal ligatures).
- Ceramic braces- These are the fixed braces with ceramic (tooth-colored) brackets that make them less noticeable than metal braces. Also, they are relatively less durable and costlier.
- Lingual braces- These are the braces that are fixed behind the teeth and are hard to keep clean. They are one of the discreet options.
- Self-ligating braces- These are the advanced, more comfortable metal braces that have a clip or door to secure the arch wire in place.
- Clear braces/aligners (Invisalign)- These are the removable, customised, invisible aligners that have to be worn 22 hours a day and replaced every two weeks.
Which Dental Issues Can be Managed by Braces?
Dental braces are the best for correcting:
- Dental crowding- Twisted or overlapped teeth due to a small mouth and insufficient space to accommodate all teeth and let them be straight.
- Gapped teeth- The small spaces between teeth cause the adjacent teeth to shift into the gaps and go out of alignment.
- Underbite- The lower jaw is projected further outward than the upper jaw when the mouth is closed.
- Open bite- The open gap in the front teeth, even when the jaw is closed.
- Cross bite- The upper and lower teeth are not aligned properly when the mouth is closed.
- Overbite- The upper jaw sits further forward than the lower jaw when the mouth is closed.
By fixing these misalignments or bite problems, braces also help patients overcome the related issues like asymmetrical dental midline, TMJ disorder, poor oral hygiene, and poor teeth functioning.
How Braces Work to Manage Dental Issues?
In general, all dental braces work by putting gentle, constant pressure on the teeth and jaw to make them gradually shift into proper alignment.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of different concerns handled by braces:
- Misaligned/Crooked/Gapped/Crowded Teeth- Dental braces can create space for overlapping or twisted teeth to properly straighten and align. For gapped teeth, braces can close the spaces by shifting adjacent teeth into proper alignment. Based on the type concern corrected the Braces treatment cost in Delhi is advised by the orthodontist, and it starts from INR 10,000 and can go upto INR 1,00,000.
- Malocclusions or Bite Problems- Dental braces can be placed on the teeth set that is protruding further or having gaps to make both upper and lower teeth sit together when the mouth is closed.
- Poor Oral Hygiene- Dental braces straighten and well-align teeth and jaw, thus making brushing and flossing easier to perform. This way, there is reduced risk of oral hygiene issues like tooth decay/cavities and gum disease.
- Poor Teeth Functioning- By aligning teeth and correcting bite issues, dental braces can help improve the efficiency of chewing food, ensuring good digestive health. Also, with a proper bite, one can speak clearly.
- Future, Long-Term Dental Issues- Early dental braces treatment can help address misalignments and malocclusions, allowing jawbone remodelling and harmony between the top and bottom jaw to prevent complications like pain from temporomandibular joint disorder, asymmetrical dental midlines, abnormal tooth wear, skeletal issues, and speech difficulties.
- Poor Smile Aesthetics and Self-Confidence- Dental braces fix the uneven teeth appearance and improve overall facial balance, thus boosting patients’ self-esteem and confidence.
