Braces

A Fixed Orthodontic Solution for Correcting Bite and Aligning Teeth

At Dental Art dental clinic, we offer teeth straightening with braces. Braces are an orthodontic device used to create a proper bite alignment. During treatment, the orthodontist adjusts the pressure exerted by the braces’ metallic wires on the teeth by tightening or loosening them, ensuring the bite correction is as effective as possible. Braces are not removable and remain in the patient’s oral cavity throughout the entire treatment period. Depending on the patient’s preferences, various types of braces can be used in orthodontic treatment.

Why Choose Dental Art?

At Dental Art, our orthodontists offer comprehensive solutions for bite correction using both braces and aligners. In some cases, achieving a functional and aesthetically pleasing bite may require collaboration with prosthodontists and implantologists. Our clinic provides access to all the specialists you need, ensuring a streamlined and effective treatment process.

What Happens During the Procedure?

Initial Consultation: You will receive a comprehensive orthodontic consultation, including a panoramic X-ray to assess your jaw and dental structure. The specialist will also evaluate your overall oral health and recommend addressing any existing dental issues before starting treatment.

Treatment Plan: The orthodontist will discuss the best type of braces for correcting your bite and agree on a treatment plan. In some cases, tooth extraction may be necessary to create space for proper alignment.

Preparation and Application:

Your teeth will be thoroughly cleaned and polished.
A bonding material is applied to securely attach the braces to your teeth.
Archwires are then connected to the brackets, and adjustments will be made throughout the treatment to gradually shift your teeth into alignment.

Recommendations and Aftercare

Regular visits to the orthodontist (approximately every six weeks) are essential for monitoring progress and adjusting the braces.

After completing the treatment, the orthodontist will remove the braces, revealing your new smile. A retainer will be provided to maintain the results long-term.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of braces are available?

At Dental Art, we offer:

Metal braces: Durable but visible.
Ceramic braces: Aesthetic with a tooth-like color but less durable.
Plastic braces: Similar in appearance to ceramic braces but more prone to staining.
Gold braces: Durable with an elegant gold coating.
Sapphire braces: Transparent and nearly invisible, offering the highest aesthetic appeal.

How are braces installed?

During the consultation, the treatment process will be explained, and dental impressions will be taken to create a detailed model for planning. After the customized braces are ready, the process begins with cleaning and polishing your teeth. A bonding material is applied, and the brackets are secured to your teeth. The archwire is attached and adjusted periodically to realign your teeth gradually.

Are braces painful?

Wearing braces is not typically painful but can cause some discomfort, especially during the initial days or after adjustments. This is due to the pressure exerted on your teeth as they move into position. Mild sensitivity can be managed with soft foods and over-the-counter pain relief. Special orthodontic wax can also enhance comfort by reducing irritation.

How long does treatment with braces take?

Orthodontic treatment usually lasts between one to three years, depending on the complexity of the case and the patient’s individual needs.

How do I care for braces?

Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial during orthodontic treatment. Brush your teeth twice a day with an orthodontic toothbrush to remove plaque around the braces. Using an irrigator and visiting a dental hygienist regularly is also recommended.

Does my insurance cover orthodontic treatment costs?

Depending on your insurance policy, orthodontic treatment costs may be partially or fully covered. Present your policy to our administrative team during your visit, and they will provide all the necessary information.

Per-Visit Payments: Pay per session as outlined in your treatment plan.
Insurance Policy: Depending on your insurance terms, costs may be partially or fully covered.
