Fixed & Removable Orthodontic

Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities. Both fixed and removable orthodontic appliances are used to correct alignment issues and improve the function and appearance of your smile.

Fixed Orthodontics:
– Braces: Fixed appliances such as traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, and lingual braces are used to correct misaligned teeth and bite issues. They consist of brackets and wires attached to the teeth, gradually shifting them into the desired position over time.
– Advantages: Provides precise control over tooth movement and is highly effective for complex alignment issues. Braces are ideal for patients who need significant adjustments to their teeth and bite.
Removable Orthodontics:
– Aligners: Clear aligners, such as Invisalign, are custom-made, removable trays that gradually move teeth into the correct position. They are virtually invisible and can be removed for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene.
– Advantages: Offers a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces. Aligners are suitable for patients with mild to moderate alignment issues and those who prefer a less noticeable treatment option.

Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment

– Improved Aesthetics: Enhances the appearance of your smile by aligning crooked or uneven teeth.
– Better Function: Corrects bite issues, which can improve chewing, speaking, and overall oral function.
– Enhanced Oral Health: Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of dental problems such as cavities and gum disease.

Choosing Between Fixed and Removable Orthodontics:
– Complexity of Treatment: Fixed braces are often recommended for more complex cases, while removable aligners are suitable for less severe alignment issues.
– Patient Preference: Aligners offer a more discreet option and are preferred by those who value aesthetics and comfort.
