Orthodontics.
Orthodontics
is the treatment performed to correct your bite and make your smile
look wonderful, with the help of braces.
Orthodontic treatment can improve your dental health and change your
facial appearance for the better, and it can boost your self-esteem.
It can provide you with the chance to participate in improving the way
you look. Patients often feel more self-confident even before treatment
is completed.
With the help of biomechanics (the relationship between the forces you
apply to living tissue such as teeth and gums and how the tissue moves
and changes )we use wires to apply a certain amount of force to bring
about the desired amount of change.
The
most dramatic orthodontic breakthrough is the heat-activated nickel-titanium
alloy wires. At room temperature, heat-activated nickel-titanium wires
are very flexible. They're very light, and as they warm to body temperature
they become active and gradually move the teeth in the anticipated
direction. Because of their high-tech properties, these wires retain
their tooth-moving abilities longer than their predecessors. In contrast;
"passive" stainless steel wire needs more frequent attention
from the orthodontist.Another recent advancement in the field of Orthodontics
is the availability of the ceramic brackets in place of the common
metal brackets.Bringing about a new revolution in the use of braces,
as they are the exact same color of your teeth, makes a pleasent experience
wearing braces.
In our clinic we follow
the latest straight wire technique of fixed appliance therapy.Straight
wire tecnique is an american tecnique of fixed appliance therapy where
the teeth are moved bodily as compared to the older beggs tecnique
which involes tiping of teeth, this helps to bring about a more well
designed smile and a pleseant appearence.
A
healthy, beautiful smile is the most obvious result of orthodontic
treatment, but there's so much more to our specialty than what meets
the eye. As we improve a person's smile, we also improve their self-esteem.
