Throughout the whole process i felt so supported and knew they were only a call away if i had any questions.
Dental braces (also known as braces, orthodontic cases, or cases) are devices used in orthodontics that align and straighten teeth and help position them with regard to a person's bite, while also aiming to improve dental health. They are often used to correct underbites , as well as malocclusions , overbites , open bites, gaps, deep bites , cross bites , crooked teeth, and various other flaws of the teeth and jaw. Braces can be either cosmetic or structural. Dental braces are often used in conjunction with other orthodontic appliances to help widen the palate or jaws and to otherwise assist in shaping the teeth and jaws.
White/clear/ceramic braces for people looking at discrete alternatives for metal braces, clear white ceramic braces are an option. Ceramic braces have tooth coloured brackets and a thin metal or plastic coated wire, which does not give the ‘metalhead’ mouth we often see with metallic braces. Lingual braces instead of placing brackets on the front of teeth, lingual braces place brackets on the insides of the teeth and hence are well hidden from observers. The brackets and wires used are the same as those used in metal braces. Lingual braces, however, require more effort to keep clean and may feel uncomfortable in the beginning.
If you think the desire for straight teeth is a trapping of modern society, think again! extreme makeovers may be new, but “braces” date as far back as ancient man! early history even ancient people wanted straight teeth! according to the aao (american association of orthodontists), archaeologists have discovered mummified ancients with crude metal bands wrapped around individual teeth. To close gaps, it has been surmised that catgut did the work now done by today’s orthodontic wire! later, in 400-500 bc, hippocrates and aristotle both ruminated about ways to straighten teeth and fix various dental conditions. Straight teeth have been on our minds a very long time!.
