My teeth are maligned- Is there any solution?


                                                        


GO FOR BRACES!

Have you ever heard that your teeth are not in line! Get them straight, put some wires on it!!

I am sure we all have heard this one time or the other, but some of us took it seriously and some of us have backed off either in fear or money constraints.


So as dentist myself, let me tell you what and how this all thing works!!

The treatment involved in this process is called Orthodontic treatment and the specialist who is going to treat you is known as Orthodontist.

What is Orthodontics?

It is dental specialty that addresses the diagnosis, prevention , management and correction of mispositioned teeth and jaws, as well as misaligned bite patterns.

What is a Orthodontic treatment?




Orthodontic treatment is a way of straightening or moving teeth, to improve the appearance of the teeth and their functions.

It can also help to look after the long-term health of your teeth, gums and jaw joints, by maintaining and distributing the bite pressure.


Need/Indications for Orthodontic treatment:-

Retainers

  • Overbite
  • Overjet
  • Open bite
  • Crowding
  • Spacing
  • Midline diastema
  • Impacted teeth
  • Under bite
  • Cross bite
  • Aesthetics
  • Phonetics

Objectives of the treatment

  • Achieving a harmonious smile
  •  Preventing food from becoming trapped in crowded teeth 
  • Correcting bothersome pronunciation or breathing defects 
  • Improving aesthetics 
  •  Correcting all the bite defect
Clear aligners


Options available:-

• BRACES- Braces gradually shift your teeth into their desired positions over time using a combination of brackets, bands and wires. There are different types of braces depending on your needs, including traditional metal braces and clear (ceramic) braces.
 • CLEAR ALIGNERS- Clear orthodontic aligners are a popular alternative to braces. 
• RETAINERS- A retainer is a custom oral appliance that keeps your teeth from drifting out of their proper positions 
• PALATE EXPANDERS- A palate (palatal) expander helps to widen a child’s upper jaw.

Palatal expanders


Advantages of the treatment:-

The cosmetic benefits of orthodontics are clear. But these treatments offer functional and health-related advantages as well: 
• When your teeth are in proper alignment, they’re much easier to clean. 
• Straightening your teeth can improve chewing and speech function. 
• Orthodontic treatment can ease pain related to TMJ disorder. 
• An aligned bite can reduce your risk for cavities, gum disease and other oral health issues. 
• Orthodontics can help you achieve and maintain a beautiful, healthy smile.

Here's the thought!!

                                   USEFUL BUT IGNORED REASONS Hi! whenever I scroll down the social media platforms , I usually find various "effective" hair products that can benefit you in several ways like:- hair fall control, dandruff control, early graying of hair etc. But for what reason that I do not understand is how to decide if these products will be beneficial to oneself or not? It can only be decided if we are fully aware about the cause that is leading to such conditions.  Let me give you an example! I hope everyone will be able to relate with that because I am going to consider the recent Corona pandemic that we all went through globally.

Now consider the major problem of hair fall among men and women. I hear people talki...
