INVISALIGN 

Is the ultimate way to align your teeth with No wires -No- Brackets .

Braces (Orthodontics)

Braces are applied to teeth for various reasons, including poorly aligned jaws, crooked, crowded and missing teeth, or a bad bite (also called malocclusion).
Various things can cause teeth to become crooked or jaws misaligned, including thumb-sucking or a traumatic injury. Some conditions are inherited.

Children between the ages of 10 and 14 are typical candidates for braces because their facial structures are still developing. Adult braces usually entail additional procedures because their faces have already fully developed. Orthodontics is a field of dentistry that deals with corrections involving jaw and teeth alignment. An orthodontist is a specialist who diagnoses and applies braces.

Braces employ the use of wires and are usually one of three types:

 

  • Old-fashioned, conventional braces, which employ the use of metal strips, or bands.
  • Metal or plastic brackets that are cemented or bonded to teeth.
  • Brackets that attach to the back teeth (also called "lingual" braces).

Space maintainer

In children the primary molar teeth hold needed space for permanent teeth to erupt in the later age. If the molar tooth is lost due to decay, than an orthodontic device with a fixed wire is usually put between teeth to hold the space for the permanent tooth, which will come in later.
