How Do Braces Work?

Do you look in the mirror and wish your teeth were more aligned?

You might feel insecure and self-conscious if you have crooked or gapped teeth. Your speech and chewing ability can also be affected if your teeth are misaligned.

Traditional braces are one of the best ways to fix mild, moderate, and severe problems with your teeth. They offer a predictable and reliable outcome. Metal braces have been used for years to move teeth into the desired position. Traditional braces consist of two parts: metal brackets and arch wires. The arch wire connects every bracket on your teeth and applies constant pressure to them. The teeth are then pushed into place from this additional pressure. You may also have a ligature elastic or rubber band that keeps the arch wire over the brackets.

What Are The Different Types Of Braces?

There are three main types of dental braces:

1. Traditional Braces:
   Traditional metal braces, also called conventional braces, are attached to the teeth with stainless steel brackets laced with metal wires and tightened every four weeks by your doctor. Conventional braces are the cheapest, and you can personalise them with colourful custom rubber bands.
2. Ceramic Braces:
   For patients who wish to achieve the fast results of metal braces without being as noticeable as metal braces, ceramic braces are a perfect option. Ceramic brackets blend in with your teeth because they are clear or tooth-coloured.
3. Lingual Braces:
   Lingual braces are similar to metallic braces, except that they are placed on the back side of the tooth rather than the front, so they can’t be seen from the outside. As a result, this type of brace typically takes longer to adjust and is more difficult to clean.

Does My Insurance Cover The Cost Of Braces?

Majority of the insurance companies don’t cover braces. It is best to check with your health insurance provider to be sure of your policy’s level of coverage. At SKYHILL dental care, we want your care to be affordable, which is why we have a flexible payment plan which will be convinent for you.

What Are The Alternatives To Braces?

For straightening or adjusting the position of teeth, you have a wide variety of treatment options besides orthodontic braces:

1. Invisalign:
   Known as invisible braces,  invisalign is an excellent alternative to metal braces. They are removable aligners that can be worn in place of wire braces for people who do not wish to have noticeable braces in their mouths.

2. Porcelain veneers:

   Dental veneers can be an alternative to braces. They can improve the appearance of one or more teeth with problems such as crooked, cracked or misaligned teeth.

Teeth Straightening Surgery:
A teeth straightening surgery can be a minor procedure to correct the position of your teeth, or it may involve surgically realigning your jaw to improve speech and your ability to chew.

How Often Do I Need My Braces To Be Adjusted?

Adjustment visits at the dental clinic will depend on your needs and where you are in your treatment. Generally, your periodic checkups with us will take place about every six weeks. You will be monitored regularly by your dentist to determine how your treatment is progressing.

Our goal is always to make sure any adjustments are suitable for you, regardless of whether you should come in more frequently than usual or less regularly, based on the specifics of your teeth and mouth.

Are Braces Painful?

Dental braces may be a little uncomfortable when you first start using them, but the discomfort fades after a few days. Additionally, you may experience discomfort anytime they are adjusted or when you begin using rubber bands.

If you are experiencing severe pain from braces, or in the case of loose brackets that are likely to cause injury to your mouth, call your dentist or orthodontist.

How Long Do I Need To Wear Braces?

Braces are a great way to change the appearance of your smile. The length of time you will need for treatment depends on the severity of your misaligned, crooked, or gapped teeth. We’ll be able to give you a proper timeline when you come in for your consultation. In cases with minor crowding or misshapen teeth, your treatment time will likely be 8-14 months.

How Often Do I Need To Visit The Dentist After Getting Braces?

The arch wire of the braces needs to be tightened periodically so that your teeth will continue to shift into the correct position. Your periodic checkups at the dental clinic will take place about every six weeks.
