FAQs :
What is orthodontics? Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. Orthodontic treatments aim to improve the appearance, function, and health of the teeth and bite.
What are braces for adults? Braces for adults are orthodontic appliances used to straighten crooked or misaligned teeth in adult patients. They consist of metal or ceramic brackets attached to the teeth, connected by wires and bands that apply gentle pressure to move the teeth into the desired positions.
What is Invisalign? Invisalign is a popular alternative to traditional braces that uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth. These custom-made aligners are virtually invisible and can be easily removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, offering a discreet and convenient orthodontic solution.
What are clear aligners? Clear aligners, such as Invisalign, are custom-made plastic trays that gradually move teeth into alignment. They are designed to be worn for a specified period, typically 20-22 hours per day, and are replaced with a new set of aligners every few weeks to progress through the treatment plan.
How does teeth straightening improve oral health? Straightening misaligned teeth and jaws can improve oral health by making it easier to clean the teeth and gums, reducing the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and other dental issues. Properly aligned teeth also contribute to better chewing and speaking abilities, enhancing overall oral function.
