Who wouldn’t like to have a beautiful and attractive smile? Sometimes, we look at people smile and crave for one that is as aesthetically pleasing and contagious as theirs. But, issues such as cavities, tooth discoloration, oral infections, malocclusion, etc. deny us that flawless smile.
Speaking of malocclusion, it is perhaps the most prominent issue people face with respect to the aesthetics of a smile. Straight teeth not only enhance one’s facial appearance but also play a major role in a person’s oral hygiene and health. This is why we, at iSmile Digital Design Center, give a lot of importance to the alignment of the teeth.
Orthodontics is a special branch of dentistry that solely deals with malocclusion, its diagnosis, and treatment. When you visit our practice for treatment, we would carefully analyze your oral condition, screen your teeth to check for any hidden infections, determine the cause of malocclusion in your case and formulate a customized treatment plan to help you overcome it. Treatment can be in the form of the following:
Dental braces: Dental braces are the most popular and widely recommended solution to treat a malocclusion. Braces consist of metal or ceramic brackets fixed to the teeth and connected to each other with the help of metal wires/bands. The pressure applied on the teeth can be varied by loosening or tightening the bands. They are known to treat some of the most complicated cases of malocclusion and are available in different forms, such as conventional metal braces, clear braces, lingual braces, etc.
Invisalign/Clear aligners: These types of aligners are made from transparent plastic and are preferred by patients who wouldn’t like their orthodontic treatment to be revealed. Since the aligners are made from clear plastic, they stay in disguise during the treatment period but keep working their magic at moving the teeth to their desired positions.
