Dental
braces are the devices used to align or straighten the teeth and set the
teeth to the corrected position. They are usually made up of bands, wires, and
brackets. Braces help fix irregular teeth positioning, improvement in chewing,
jaw correction, and smile aesthetics. Kanata Dental is the best option to get
guidance on treatment options and modalities patients specifically.
Dental
braces are a method of correcting or straightening your teeth, to improve how
they work and how they look. Braces may also help you look after the long-term
health and hygiene of your teeth and gums and make eating more comfortable, by
proportionately spreading the biting pressure across all your teeth.
Braces
work by putting pressure on the teeth, to slowly move them inwards in the right
direction. As the pressure begins taking the effect, the bone structure in the
jaw changes to allow the teeth and its roots to move.
Who
can have orthodontic treatment and wear braces?
Orthodontic treatment could be started as young as 8 years old. There is no upper
limit in the terms of age for Braces.
Generally,
the best time to have braces is during childhood. However, adults may have
orthodontic treatment too. Age is of less importance than having healthy teeth
and gums. In the case of children, they may have to wait for enough teeth to
come before starting treatment.
Your
mouth must be fit and healthy before you have orthodontic treatment. Some
patients can’t have orthodontic treatment – for example, if they have advanced
gum disease. Only an orthodontist can determine whether you can have
orthodontics.
