what are
ORTHODONTICS?
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of misaligned teeth and jaws, often using braces or aligners to correct dental irregularities and improve oral health.
Types of ORTHODONTICS
Traditional metal braces
These are the most common type of braces and are made of metal brackets and wires. They are effective for treating a wide range of dental issues, including misaligned teeth, bite problems, and gaps.
Clear aligners
This is a popular alternative to braces that uses a series of clear plastic trays to gradually shift the teeth into place. They are nearly invisible and can be removed for eating and brushing, but may not be suitable for all dental issues.
Retainers
After orthodontic treatment, retainers are often used to help maintain the position of the teeth. They can be removable or fixed in place behind the teeth.
Ceramic braces
These are similar to metal braces, but the brackets are made of tooth-colored or clear materials that blend in with the teeth. They are a more discreet option but can be more expensive.
Lingual braces
These are similar to traditional braces but are placed on the back of the teeth instead of the front, making them less visible. They can be more difficult to clean and may cause discomfort to the tongue.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
You should consider orthodontic treatment if you have crooked or crowded teeth, gaps between your teeth, overbite, underbite, crossbite, or any other dental or facial irregularities that affect your appearance or oral function. The ideal age for orthodontic treatment is between 7 and 14 years old, but adults can also benefit from orthodontic treatment.
The duration of orthodontic treatment depends on the severity of your dental and facial irregularities and the type of treatment you choose. On average, orthodontic treatment takes about 18 to 24 months, but some cases may require longer treatment time. Your orthodontist will provide you with a personalized treatment plan that includes the estimated duration of treatment.
Orthodontic treatment can cause some discomfort, especially during the first few days after the braces or aligners are adjusted. However, the discomfort is usually mild and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
Answer: It may take a few days to adjust to speaking with braces, but most people adapt quickly and do not have any problems with speech.
