Traditional Orthodontic Treatment for a Confident Smile

‍

What Are Metal Braces?

Metal braces are a traditional orthodontic treatment used to straighten teeth and correct misaligned bites. They consist of high-quality stainless steel brackets affixed to the teeth and connected by a metal archwire. The wire applies gentle pressure to guide teeth into their proper positions over time.

Known for their durability and effectiveness, metal braces can address a wide range of dental issues, from minor misalignments to complex orthodontic problems. Modern advancements have made them smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient, making them a reliable choice for achieving a healthy, aligned smile.

Common Teeth Alignment Problems Addressed by Braces

Braces are a popular solution for correcting a variety of dental alignment issues, improving both the appearance and functionality of your teeth. Below are some of the most common alignment problems that braces can address:

‍

1. Overbite (Deep Bite)

An overbite occurs when the upper front teeth overlap the lower teeth excessively. This can lead to discomfort, difficulty biting, and speech issues.

How Braces Help: Braces gradually reposition the teeth and realign the bite.

‍

2. Underbite

An underbite happens when the lower teeth protrude beyond the upper teeth, affecting chewing, speaking, and appearance.

How Braces Help: Braces help reposition the teeth and jaw, aligning the bite. Severe cases may require surgery in addition to braces.

‍

3. Crossbite

A crossbite occurs when upper teeth do not align properly with the lower teeth. It can cause tooth wear and gum problems.

How Braces Help: Braces move the teeth into better alignment, and sometimes appliances like a palatal expander may be used.

‍

4. Open Bite

An open bite is when the upper and lower teeth do not meet, causing difficulty biting and speaking.

How Braces Help: Braces close the gap between the teeth, improving functionality and appearance.

‍

5. Crowding

Crowding happens when there’s not enough space for all the teeth to fit properly, leading to overlapping and misalignment.

How Braces Help: Braces shift the teeth into better positions, and sometimes extractions are needed to make space.

‍

6. Gaps Between Teeth (Diastema)

Gaps occur between teeth, often due to missing teeth or abnormalities in tooth development.

How Braces Help: Braces can close the gaps, leading to a more balanced smile.

‍

7. Excessive Spacing

When the teeth are spaced too far apart, it can affect the smile and cause difficulty chewing.

How Braces Help: Braces shift the teeth into better alignment, closing excess space for a more functional bite.

‍

8. Dental Protrusion (Buck Teeth)

When the upper teeth extend too far forward, it can affect both appearance and functionality.

How Braces Help: Braces reposition the teeth, and sometimes appliances like rubber bands or headgear are used.

‍

9. Jaw Alignment Issues (Skeletal Problems)

Misalignment of the upper and lower jaws can cause difficulty with biting and chewing, as well as jaw pain.

How Braces Help: Braces can realign the teeth, while more severe cases may require jaw surgery.

‍

10. Early Intervention

Addressing alignment issues early, especially in children, can prevent more serious problems later on.

How Braces Help: Early use of braces helps guide the growth of teeth and the jaw, reducing the need for more complex treatments later.

‍

Stages of Teeth Alignment with Metal Braces:

1. Initial Consultation: We evaluate your teeth, discuss your goals, and create a customised plan.

2. Application: Metal brackets are bonded to your teeth, and wires are added.

3. Alignment and Bite Correction: Teeth gradually move into place with adjustments over time.

4. Final Touches and Retention: Once aligned, retainers help maintain your new smile.
