Braces for Children: When and Which Method?

Braces: An Orthodontic Treatment for Straightening Teeth

Braces are an orthodontic treatment designed to align crooked teeth. They are attached to the front surface of the teeth and connected with special wires. The orthodontist tightens these wires at each visit to gradually shift the teeth into the correct position.

With your orthodontist’s guidance, you can choose between fixed or removable braces. Fixed braces are placed on the teeth and are removed only when treatment is complete, while removable braces can be taken out and put back in at your convenience, regardless of whether treatment has finished.

What Options Are Available for Braces?

1. Metal Braces: These are traditional metal brackets and wires. Modern designs are smaller and more discreet than older versions. They are the most cost-effective option available today.
2. Ceramic Braces: These brackets are the same size and shape as metal ones but are made to match the natural color of your teeth. This option is certainly more discreet and provides permanent results. However, ceramic braces can stain more easily, requiring greater care.
3. Lingual Braces: These are similar to metal braces but are placed on the inner side of the teeth, making them virtually invisible. They require more care since they are harder to clean compared to the other methods.

Is It Worth the Effort for a Perfect Smile?

Absolutely! The effort is worth it in every case. Once the treatment is complete and the braces are removed, your smile and dental alignment will be exemplary.
