Frequently Asked Questions
What are dental braces?
Dental braces are orthodontic devices used to correct misaligned teeth and jaws. They apply continuous pressure to gradually move teeth into the desired position, improving both function and appearance.
What types of braces are available?
Various types of braces are available, including:
- Metal Braces: Traditional stainless steel brackets and wires.
- Ceramic Braces: Tooth-colored brackets that are less noticeable.
- Lingual Braces: Placed on the inner side of teeth, hidden from view.
- Clear Aligners: Removable, transparent trays that straighten teeth without brackets.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
The duration varies based on individual cases, but most treatments range from 12 to 24 months. Factors influencing treatment time include the severity of misalignment and the type of braces used.
Are braces painful?
Patients may experience mild discomfort or soreness after braces are first applied or adjusted. This typically subsides within a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
How should I care for my braces?
Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial:
- Brushing: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to clean around brackets and wires after every meal.
- Flossing: Use floss threaders or special orthodontic floss to clean between teeth daily.
- Diet: Avoid sticky, hard, or chewy foods that can damage braces.
- Regular Check-ups: Attend all scheduled appointments for adjustments and monitoring.
