Braces For Teeth Straightening- Why People Opt for Them?

Have you been hiding your smile because of your misaligned teeth or poor bite? Although you are not the only one, you should be seeing an orthodontist if your misalignment/ malocclusion is a source of pain or poor facial aesthetics. Braces are most likely to be recommended to you by an orthodontist. If thinking about whether having Braces treatment in Delhi would be right, you must read this blog post that discusses dental braces and the reasons behind people opting for them.

What are Braces?

Braces or dental/teeth braces are a popular orthodontic tool recommended for teeth straightening. It is designed to correct a host of orthodontic issues like crooked teeth, crowded teeth, gapped teeth, or malocclusion/bite problems- underbite, overbite, open bite, closed bite, or cross bite, thereby improving the smile appearance.  

When Might People Need Braces?

Here are the details of the major reasons why people go for dental braces:

• Teeth misalignment- Braces can fix the permanent teeth that erupt crooked or not in line to fill the mouth space.

**** 

• Crowded teeth- Braces can fix the teeth that overlap other teeth or grow crooked due to a lack of space in the mouth to accommodate all the teeth.

**** 

• Teeth gaps- Braces can help close the large gaps in a smile, which may cause unaided shifting of teeth next to the gaps.

• Malocclusion (bite problems)- Braces can fix any problem that causes the upper and lower teeth to not properly fit together, even when the mouth is kept shut. These include crossbite (upper teeth fitting inside lower teeth); underbite (lower front teeth extending beyond upper teeth); overbite (upper teeth overlapping lower teeth); open bite (front of both tooth sets is not touching); and overjet (upper front teeth protruding more than they should normally).

**** 

• Better oral health- Teeth straightening with braces motivates people to commit to practicing good oral hygiene. Such practice can further reduce the risk of dental cavities and periodontitis (gum disease).

**** 

• Enhanced smile appearance- Braces can improve smile aesthetics for those who are unhappy with their grin due to misaligned teeth or bite issues.

**** 

Besides these reasons, braces are even recommended in the following cases:

• Premature loss of baby teeth- Braces are required in such a case to guide the adult teeth into proper alignment.

**** 

• Habit of using pacifier or sucking thumb- Braces can fix the teeth misalignment in people who have or had thumb sucking and pacifier use habit.

• Jaw misalignment- Braces can work beyond the teeth. They can solve the problem of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which affects the jaw alignment.   ****

Different Types of Braces

There are different brace types available, each varying in the material they are made of or the specific concern they address. An orthodontist picks one amongst all after understanding the patient’s dental problem and its severity, and knowing the patient’s personal preferences.

The types are:

• Traditional metal braces (fixed braces having metal brackets and archwires, and elastic bands)
• Ceramic braces (fixed braces with tooth-colored brackets, wires, and ligatures)
• Self-ligating braces (fixed braces having a built-in system to hold arch wires)
• Lingual braces (braces fixed on the back of the teeth)
• Clear aligners/ Invisalign (removable, custom-made, aligner trays).

How Braces Help People?

In general, braces work by applying consistent, gentle pressure over the teeth to gradually shift them into proper positions. The exact way by which this occurs and the time it takes depend on the chosen type of brace.

Also the Braces Treatment Cost in Delhi can range from Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 1,40,000. This can vary based on case type.
