MYTHS AND FACTS ABOUT TEETH BRACES

                                      

MYTH 1: TEETH BRACES ARE ONLY FOR KIDS AND TEENS AND NOT FOR ADULTS

This is one of the biggest misconceptions that people have about orthodontic treatment. Patients of every age are eligible for it. With the increasing awareness, new generations, adults and late teens are opting for orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic treatment solves the smile defects and helps us reduce the incidence of dental caries and gum diseases. They say that it’s never too late to get your smile corrected. 

                                           

                                               

MYTH 2: IT MAY TAKE YEARS TO STRAIGHTEN THE SMILE 

Each person is born with different anatomy and jaw relations. For example, every person has different teeth sizes. This difference marks the difficulty levels. The more severe the case, the longer it takes for its corrections. Usually, orthodontic treatment takes 18 months to 24 months. Mild cases take a shorter duration, and severely misaligned cases take longer to treat. 

MYTH 3: TEETH BRACES ARE UNATTRACTIVE AND BULKY

Over the last decade, orthodontic braces treatment has seen significant changes and advancements. Several innovations have been introduced in this course of time for smile correction. The old traditional braces have undergone a complete makeover. Unlike the old conventional braces, the new orthodontic braces are smaller, and even the wires are thinner. 

In addition, they are available in various different materials and colors, making them more attractive and convenient for patients. These metal chunks can even be replaced by a tooth-coloured ceramic material, making the orthodontic treatment more pinning. Nowadays, the braces can even be placed beside your teeth. Hence, they aren’t visible easily in a patient’s mouth.

MYTH 4: FAMILY DENTISTS CAN STRAIGHTEN OUT THE MISALIGNED TEETH

Every special health care treatment requires a specialist. It applies to the case of orthodontic procedures too. An orthodontist is a specialized dentist trained for the smile and severely misaligned tooth corrections. They are professional individuals who have treated thousands of patients through a better understanding of teeth and jaw alignment. 

MYTH 5: REGULAR VISITS ARE NOT MANDATORY IN AN ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT 

Orthodontic treatments are long-term procedures that usually go on for months. This needs professional assistance now and then. These regular dental visits, twice a month, help the orthodontist track the patient’s progress. It ensures quick and long-lasting results for the patients.
