Specialized Dentistry

If your teeth, jaw, and bite are healthy, minor improvements such as crowns or veneers, bridges, or tooth whitening are usually sufficient to improve your smile. However, when teeth have been severely worn, decayed, or damaged, a patient sometimes needs a full-mouth reconstruction. This can include functional, neuromuscular, and cosmetic dental procedures. At Family Dental Clinic, we pride ourselves on providing pain-free Specialized Dentistry.

Braces

Types of Braces

A) VISIBLE ON TEETH FROM OUTSIDE

Braces, which are put on the front surfaces of the teeth, are visible from the outside. If you have crooked teeth and/or a misaligned bite (an underbite or overbite), there are a variety of treatments that can help straighten your teeth, including braces. Braces are a great teeth-straightening treatment that allows patients to enjoy straightener, more beautiful teeth. Not only are straight teeth seen as more attractive, but they’re easier to keep clean and therefore less prone to problems like decay and toothaches later in life.

Braces are squarish metal or ceramic clips that are adhered to the front surfaces of your teeth, and a continuous wire is entangled and tied in between their slots. These are of two types, depending on the way they exert forces on our teeth.

• Regular, traditional braces
• Self-ligating braces

On the basis of the material from which they are made, both can be

• Metal Braces
• Ceramic braces

B) NOT VISIBLE ON TEETH FROM OUTSIDE

Braces that are put inside our teeth towards the tongue (lingual braces) It is a solution for those patients who don’t want their braces to be visible from outside.

Is it any age to Wear Dental Braces?

Dental braces are most commonly associated with teenagers, simply because this is when most people first notice their crooked teeth. There is no age limit for this kind of corrective treatment, though, so don’t be put off by the stereotypes. You can use braces to correct misaligned teeth at any age, just as long as your teeth and gums are reasonably healthy. Dental braces are not suitable for patients with weakened gums or poor dental health.

Which food should I avoid when wearing traditional metal or ceramic braces?

• ● Very crunchy foods like nuts, hard candy, crunchier chips, and hard candy.
• ● Overly chewy foods like gummy candy
• ● Sticky foods like toffee, gum, licorice, and caramels
• ● Foods you must bite into, like apples and corn on the cob

Invisalign Aligners

This is a solution for patients who don’t want to wear braces at all.Many people want straighter teeth, but they don’t want the ugly metal brackets and the discomfort that comes with traditional orthodontic work. If you fit this description, you may want to consider Invisalign.

Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, include no metal, and are custom-made for your teeth. They work in a series of trays that gradually shift your teeth into place.

Benefits of Invisalign and Transparent Aligners

• Speed:Often, some Invisalign cases can be quicker than conventional braces by nature of the design since they can move many teeth at once.
• Comfort:There are no wires and sharp corners like with conventional braces.
• Results:Invisalign can move teeth in ways braces cannot.
• Reduced Risk:With Invisalign, there’s less risk of tooth roots shrinking due to the excessive force that can be applied with conventional braces.
• Time Savings: There are fewer dental visits than conventional braces.
