ABOUT ORTHODONTICS
For many individuals, the primary motivation behind seeking orthodontic care is to attain a healthy and aesthetically pleasing smile. If you feel self-conscious about your smile, undergoing orthodontic treatment to address your concerns can significantly enhance both your appearance and self-confidence. By correcting dental issues with the help of braces, you can achieve a beautiful smile that will positively impact how you look and feel.
HOW ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT WORKS
Orthodontic appliances come in various materials such as metal, ceramic, or plastic. They can be either removable or fixed brackets bonded to the teeth. These appliances work by applying a consistent and gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, gradually shifting the teeth to their desired position. Through this process, braces help achieve proper dental alignment and improve the overall alignment of the smile.
DURATION OF TREATMENT
The duration of orthodontic treatment can vary and typically ranges from one to three years. The specific timeframe depends on factors such as age, treatment method, and the complexity of your case. Your active participation and adherence to the treatment plan play a crucial role in the overall efficiency and success of your orthodontic journey. The more involved and diligent you are in following instructions and maintaining good oral hygiene, the more streamlined the treatment process will be. For children, receiving interceptive or early treatment can also contribute to a shorter overall treatment time.
