| Orthodontics
is the branch of dentistry that specializes in the diagnosis, prevention
and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. These includes
treatment of different conditions:
|
|
Orthodontists requires professional
skill in the design, application and control of corrective appliances,
such as braces and retainers, to bring teeth, lips and jaws into proper
alignment and to achieve facial balance.
The results of orthodontic
treatment can be dramatic — beautiful smiles, improved dental health and
an enhanced quality of life for many people of all ages. Outstanding results
are also dependent on maximizing the coordination of care between you
and our practice.

| Metal
Braces |
|
Metal braces are
the most widely used system of straitening teeth. Small
metal brackets are bonded to the tooth with a wire passing
through them. The wire is usually held tightly to the brackets
with small elastic o-shaped rubber bands. The rubber bands
can be metal colored (the most discreet) or colorful, depending
on what you like. Metal brackets are very strong and can
withstand most types of treatment. They tend to be the most
inexpensive treatment and can treat the most severe
cases.

| Self-Ligating
(Damon) Braces |
|
| |
Self-ligating braces
are brackets that do not need the elastic bands
to hold the wire to the brackets. Instead, each
bracket has a sliding door locking mechanism to
hold the wire. The brackets allow the wire to slide
back and forth which means fewer adjustments and,
therefore, less appointments. |
Instead of visiting Dr. Anshu every four weeks, as with
traditional metal braces, you might only need to come every
six to eight weeks. These brackets are smaller than traditional
metal brackets and less food gets trapped around them when
you eat.

| Clear
Braces |
|
Clear braces are very similar
to metal braces in their function. The only difference is
that the brackets are tooth colored (less conspicuous than
'clear' versions). These brackets are nearly as strong as
the metal counterparts and so they can treat almost all
of the same cases (some exceptions exist).

| Invisalign |
|
| |
Invisalign
is a great treatment option for people who do not
have severe problems and are concerned with esthetics
during the treatment. Instead of bonding brackets
to the tooth, a series of strong plastic trays are
fabricated. |
Each tray is made to move your teeth slightly and is worn
for a few weeks. Once Dr. Anshu has determined that your
case can be treated with invisalign, the most important
consideration is your cooperation. They must be worn for
at least 18 hours a day in order to achieve results.

| Active
Retainers |
|
Active retainers
are a great solution for people who only need slight adjustments
in their anterior tooth alignment. Dr. Anshu fabricates
a traditional retainer that is fitted with active springs.
Treatment time can be very short and the retainers can be
worn all day without being very intrusive. Once treatment
is completed the retainers are worn only at night to maintain
your beautiful smile!

braces for between two and three years. Today however,
thanks to Six Month Smiles you can have the straight teeth

Benefits
of Early Detection for Orthodontic Treatment
A check-up with an
orthodontist no later than age 7 for children who enable the orthodontist
to detect and evaluate problems (if any), advise if treatment will be
necessary, and determine the best time for that patient to be treated.
Patients who have clear indications for early orthodontic intervention,
early treatment presents an opportunity to:
- Guide
the growth of the jaw
-
Regulate the width of the upper and lower dental arches
-
Guide incoming permanent teeth into desirable positions
-
Lower risk of trauma (accidents) to protruded upper incisors (front
teeth)
-
Correct harmful oral habits
-
Reduce or eliminate abnormal swallowing or speech problems
-
Improve personal appearance and self-esteem
-
Potentially simplify and/or shorten treatment time for later corrective
orthodontics
-
Reduce likelihood of impacted permanent teeth
-
Preserve or gain space for permanent teeth that are coming in
