These
are appliances used for orthodontic treatment. Appliances can be made of
ceramic, metal or even plastic. Braces are used to align and correct misaligned
teeth. This treatment is less forceful unlike in the past and also it is quite
invisible if one chooses the clear braces.
Phases of this orthodontic treatment
One
can choose to do it once but it is good to incorporate the two phase
orthodontic treatment. This is because with two phases, there is maximum
accomplishment of ideal health, functions and aesthetic result that will last a
lifetime. Tooth straightening is accompanied by both physical and facial
changes.
1.
Phase
one
This
basically forms the foundation of a beautiful smile. Here, development of the
jaw size is done so as to accommodate all teeth respectively. It is quite easy
to establish jaw problems especially at an early age if one visits an
orthodontist. For example, the upper or lower jaw my exhibit too much growing
or rather the opposite, which is growing too little to be able to hold all the
teeth effectively.
The
treatment will regulate the growth of the jaws in relation to each other and
the teeth. Thus with everything in place, there will be no need removal of
permanent teeth due to overcrowding or undergo through surgical procedures so
as to align them at a later age.
After
that, there is the resting period when permanent teeth are allowed to erupt
without any influences of devices or treatment of any form.
Finally
during this phase, the progress of the teeth is monitored to ensure that
everything is intact but it is not a guarantee. If not, the treatment enters
the second phase.
2.
Phase
two
Here,
each tooth is positioned precisely in its expected position while considering
the lips, cheeks, tongue and other teeth. At this time, all permanent teeth
have erupted and the last things required are braces. One can choose to use any
kind, be it braces 77070, braces Houston
TX, braces 77388, braces Spring
TX or any other that is preferred.
