Dental braces have transformed countless smiles, providing a solution for various orthodontic issues. At Tolland Hill Family Dental, we embrace the latest advancements in orthodontic technology to offer a range of braces suitable for different needs and preferences.
Types of Dental Braces
We offer several types of braces, each designed to cater to different orthodontic requirements:
- Traditional Braces: The most common type, known for their effectiveness in treating complex dental issues.
- Ceramic Braces: Similar to traditional braces but with ceramic brackets that blend with the color of your teeth for a less noticeable appearance.
- Damon Braces: A self-ligating system that requires fewer adjustments and can be more comfortable than traditional braces.
- Lingual Braces: Placed behind the teeth, they are virtually invisible from the outside.
Are Braces Right for Me?
Braces are an ideal solution for those looking to correct dental imperfections such as:
- Crowding: Overlapped or crooked teeth affecting your bite.
- Gaps: Noticeable spaces between teeth.
- Overbite: When lower front teeth bite too close to the upper teeth’s gum.
- Crossbite: When upper teeth fall inside the lower teeth, potentially impacting chewing.
- Overjet: Often caused by thumb-sucking, where upper front teeth protrude far forward.
- Open Bite: When front teeth don’t touch, while back teeth do, affecting chewing efficiency.
The Dental Braces Treatment Process
Getting braces involves several steps:
- Bracket Placement: After a cheek retractor is applied, your teeth are polished for the brackets to bond properly. A conditioner and adhesive primer are then applied before the brackets are placed using cement.
- Setting Brackets: Excess cement is removed, and the brackets are hardened with a high-intensity light.
- Archwire Installation: Once brackets are set, dental archwires are put in place and tightened, which can take around 20 minutes.
- Post-Procedure Care: After the procedure, it’s normal to experience soreness as your teeth begin to shift into their new positions.
