What is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. The most common orthodontic treatments include braces, clear aligners, and retainers. These appliances help align the teeth, improve bite function, and enhance overall oral health.

How Orthodontic Treatment Works

1. Initial Consultation: The first step towards orthodontic treatment is a consultation at Nalamm Dental Clinic. During this visit, our orthodontist will examine your teeth, take X-rays, and discuss your concerns and treatment goals.

2. Customized Treatment Plan: Based on the initial assessment, our orthodontist will create a personalized treatment plan. This plan may include braces, clear aligners, or other appliances to gradually move your teeth into the desired position.

3. Fitting the Braces or Aligners: For traditional braces, brackets are bonded to the teeth and connected with a wire that applies gentle pressure to shift the teeth. Clear aligners, on the other hand, are removable and need to be worn for 20-22 hours a day for optimal results.

4. Regular Adjustments: Throughout the treatment, you’ll visit Nalamm Dental Clinic for regular check-ups and adjustments. This ensures that the braces or aligners are working effectively and allows for any necessary modifications to the treatment plan.

5. Retention Phase: After the active treatment phase, a retainer is used to maintain the new position of your teeth. This phase is crucial to prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions.

Why Orthodontic Treatment is Important

1. Improved Oral Health: Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.

2. Enhanced Aesthetics: A straight smile not only looks better but also boosts self-esteem and confidence.

3. Better Functionality: Correcting bite issues improves chewing, speaking, and overall comfort.

4. Prevents Future Dental Issues: Addressing misalignment early can prevent more severe problems, such as tooth wear, TMJ disorders, and difficulty in maintaining oral hygiene.
