Dental Braces - Teeth Braces Cost, Procedure and Types
Summary:
If you’ve been lucky enough to never have them before, you’re probably wondering, “What are braces?” “How do braces work?” What are the types of braces out there?”
Well, here’s everything you need to know.
Describing Braces
Meticulously crafted using metal brackets, archwires, and tiny elastic bands, teeth braces are designed to straighten your teeth perfectly.
How Do Braces Work?
Commonly known as clips, teeth braces use a special force, engineered by pressure, to bring your teeth together (tooth gaps).
That’s not all!
Wires, when intertwined with metal brackets, apply pressure on your jaw-bone and work slowly but surely to correct mispositioned teeth and jaws. Essentially, they help improve oral health and eliminate overcrowding, crossbites, overbites, crookedness, and a whole lot more.
Different Types Of Braces
When you think of braces, it’s natural to imagine metallic clips and stringy wires but there’s a lot more where that came from. Not all teeth braces feel like cages and there are different types of teeth braces to suit unique dental needs.
Fixed Braces
The OG of all the teeth braces out there, Fixed braces are made-up of brackets that are cemented to each tooth. Wires are looped around the brackets to apply pressure and the push and pull action helps align your teeth.
Metal Braces
Mimicking the design of train tracks, Metal Teeth Braces use rubber bands, stainless steel brackets, and heat-enforced archwires to treat mild to severe orthodontic problems and malaligned teeth. The best part? You can choose from a wide spectrum of colorful bands to embellish metal teeth braces.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces are a lot like traditional teeth braces but they're fashioned out of ceramic materials instead of metal. These teeth braces are either clear or tooth-colored. If you’re looking for stylish yet effective teeth braces, ceramic is the way to go!
Lingual Braces
While traditional teeth braces are fitted over your teeth, lingual braces are attached behind your teeth. This makes lingual braces a good choice for those who wish to hide their braces.
Self-Ligating Braces
Not all teeth braces use rubber bands to pull and push teeth. Self-ligating braces use a sliding bracket method wherein movable clips are attached to the wire. Comfy and adjustable, this type of teeth braces are just as effective as any other.
EmBrace The Journey: Living With Braces
If you're using teeth braces, brackets, and metal wires, your journey toward teeth straightening is paved with a few mild and temporary obstacles.
No Gain Without Pain
Braces work by applying pressure to your teeth, jaws, and bone. When they start working their magic, the pulling, tugging, and tightening of the braces can be painful.
Dealing With Sores
With teeth braces on, metal brackets and wires get really close to your gums and palate. The constant contact and friction could cut your mouth and give you an occasional sore. Ouch!
Stains Are Inevitable
You may have to give up food substances like turmeric, synthetic food colors, and hard-boiled sweets because they leave stubborn stains on your teeth and braces. No one likes yellow teeth!
Selective Eating
With teeth braces, you may find it hard to bite into a mouthful of food like burgers, chips, mixed nuts, and so on. Sticky foods like chewing gum and caramel-based candies cling on and are hard to get out. You don’t want that!
