What are the Types of Braces?

-
Metal Braces: They assist in rectifying dental & orthodontic issues that are related to the alignment of teeth, issues in biting, and the development of the jaw.
-
Ceramic Braces: These braces are made to move the teeth into the correct position while blending in with the natural colour of the teeth.
-
Self-ligating braces: These braces have a built-in mechanism to hold the arch-wire in place while eliminating the requirement for other ties.
-
Lingual braces: They are customized & designed to be completely hidden from view.

Dental Braces in Georgia (FAQ’s):
How Long Do Braces Take?
Teeth straightening through the use of Dental Braces can be achieved in as little as 6 months but it can take considerably more time for severely crooked teeth. The average time period required for braces ranges from 1.5 years (18 months) to 2 years (24 months).
How Do You Brush With Braces?
You can brush your teeth using a normal toothbrush. The trick is to brush at a 45-degree angle, both above and below the brackets while also considering brushing near the gum line. This will ensure that no food particle remains stuck to your braces or teeth..
Do Braces Weaken Teeth?
No, Dental Braces can change the position of your teeth and you may feel slight discomfort due to the pulling of the brackets on your teeth. However, you will get used to this over time as the teeth become aligned with the brackets.
What Food Can't Be Eaten With Braces?
Although you can eat almost anything with Dental Braces, certain foods that can get stuck in your braces such as popcorn, nuts, chewing gum, and candies should be avoided while you have braces.
What Age Is Best For Braces?
Early ages between 10-14 years are best suited for getting Dental Braces as during this time the body is developing and it's easier to align teeth using braces as the bone is softer. The teeth have not yet settled in their post-puberty positions.
Why Does My Smile Look Weird After Braces?
It's normal to notice changes in your smile as the braces may give a protruding look. Using Invisalign can resolve this issue partially as they are thinner and can blend in more easily. In the long run, braces can greatly improve your smile once they are taken off.
Is Tooth Removal Necessary For Braces?
No, getting a tooth extracted for braces is rare and is usually only done in case of crowded teeth. Consult your dentist to evaluate your particular case as different treatment is needed for different cases.
