Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that emphasizes on to diagnose and treat bad bites. General orthodontic treatments consist of braces, clear aligners and retainers.
Braces slowly shift your teeth into their wanted and desired positions over the period of time adding a combination of brackets, bands and wires.
Clear or ceramic braces work the same way as metal braces work. But they contain ceramic brackets and frosted wires in order to match the shade of your teeth.
It is a popular option to braces. Invisalign is well accepted brand. Instead of using braces to straighten your teeth, Invisalign aligners use a continuous pattern of custom-made aligner trays.
If patient wear braces whether metal or ceramic or clear aligners, you will require a retainer once your orthodontic treatment completes.
Night guard is dental devices that cover your teeth. A dental guard protects your teeth, tongue, gums and cheeks from injury caused by teeth grinding or sports injuries.
