Imagine a smile that not only looks great but feels great. Fixed orthodontics, commonly known as braces, are a powerful solution for correcting misaligned teeth and bite issues, setting the stage for a healthier, more confident you.
What are fixed orthodontics?
Fixed orthodontics involves using braces attached to the teeth and gradually adjusting their position. These devices are a central component in orthodontic treatment and are known for their effectiveness in aligning teeth and improving dental function.
What are the different types of fixed orthodontics?
Fixed orthodontics come in various types, each designed to cater to different alignment issues and aesthetic preferences:
- Metal Braces: Metal braces are the most traditional form and are known for their durability and efficiency.
- Ceramic Braces: Made of clear or tooth-coloured ceramic, they are less noticeable than metal braces.
- Lingual Braces: Attached to the back of the teeth, lingual braces are completely hidden from view.
Each type has unique benefits, and Dr Mnguni can help you determine which is best for your needs and lifestyle.
How do I know if I need fixed orthodontics?
You might need orthodontics if you have crowded or crooked teeth, gaps between teeth, or an overbite, underbite, or crossbite. The best way to determine if fixed orthodontics are right for you is to consult with Dr Mnungi. During your consultation, she will assess your oral health needs and chat about the best treatment options.
How are fixed orthodontics applied?
The application of fixed orthodontics is a meticulous process that involves:
- Initial Assessment: Dr Mnguni will take detailed measurements of your mouth, including X-rays and digital scans.
- Bracket Placement: Brackets are then carefully bonded to each tooth.
- Wire Insertion: A wire connects the brackets, which is periodically adjusted to guide teeth into their correct positions.
The process is done with utmost precision and care to ensure optimal results and comfort throughout your treatment journey.
