Orthodontic treatment is the process of straightening of crooked and crowded teeth with the help of braces and wires.<\/p>\n
At Aggarwal Dental Clinic ,services of an Orthodontist Dr. Anil Sharma (M.D.S.)<\/strong> are available All types of patients from different age groups are routinely treated at our clinic. Age is not a barrier to Orthodontic treatment. The treatment can be done even in a 40 yr old patient. The only requirement is healthy bone and periodontium ( Tissue around teeth )<\/p>\n Caring for your teeth and gums during orthodontic treatment<\/em><\/p>\n Crooked or crowded teeth may cause uneven wear of tooth surfaces or jaw problems that may lead to complications later in life. They can also be difficult to clean properly, which makes them prone to tooth decay and gum diseases.<\/p>\n So, while you’re wearing braces, remember that the success of your treatment is affected by how well you care for your teeth and gums. Good oral care at home involves effectively removing plaque from your teeth, gums and braces every day. Not only will it keep your treatment time on course, but it will also contribute to the continued health of your teeth and gums.<\/p>\n <\/a>Who needs orthodontic treatment?<\/strong><\/p>\n Not everyone’s teeth are perfectly straight. In fact, many people have crooked or overcrowded teeth. If your dentist thinks your teeth need straightening, he or she may refer you to an orthodontist, a dentist who specializes in this type of treatment.<\/p>\n During treatment, fixed braces or a removable appliance may be worn to gradually move teeth to their correct position in the mouth.<\/p>\n <\/a>At what age can orthodontic treatment start?<\/strong><\/p>\n While it is most common during childhood and adolescence (from around age eight and up), an increasing number of adults today are also opting for orthodontic treatment.<\/p>\n <\/a>How long does the treatment take?<\/strong><\/p>\n It varies, but it may take from 18 to 30 months to complete. For adults, treatment may take a little longer because the facial bones have stopped growing. But whatever your age, keeping your teeth and gums healthy during orthodontic treatment will help keep treatment time on track.<\/p>\n <\/a>How do I keep my teeth and gums healthy?<\/strong><\/p>\n The key to healthy teeth and gums is proper plaque removal every day. Plaque is the sticky coloriess film of bacteria that is constantly forming on your teeth and, left to build up, is one of the main causes to tooth decay and gum disease. Follow these simple guidelines and you’ll be off to a great start;<\/p>\n <\/a>How do I clean all areas of my mouth while wearing braces?<\/strong><\/p>\n At first, doing a good job removing plaque from your teeth and along the dumline may seem difficult with braces. But keep at it: with a bit of practice, it will get easier! following these tips can also help:<\/p>\n Cleaning a removable appliance<\/em><\/p>\n After you take the appliance out of your mouth, brush and clean between your teeth in the normal way. Then, using your toothbrush and toothpaste, clean your appliance, rinsing thoroughly with water afterwards.<\/p>\n Also, make sure that you gently brush the gum areas that are covered by your appliance. This includes the roof of your mouth if you wear the appliance on your top teeth.<\/p>\n <\/a>How often should I clean my braces?<\/strong><\/p>\n It is vital that you clean your braces every time your brush your teeth. Braces can act as a “plaque trap,” increasing the amount of plaque in your mouth, which in turn can lead to an increased risk of cavities and gum disease.<\/p>\n <\/a>How do I floss with fixed braces?<\/strong><\/p>\n Flossing removes the plaque between your teeth and under your gumline areas beyond the reach of your toothbrush. In fact, if you don’t floss, you’re leaving up to 40% of your tooth sufaces untouched and uncleaned.<\/p>\n
