Appliances Used

Braces have wires, bands and brackets. Bands are fixed around the teeth and brackets are connected on the front. Wires pass through brackets and fix the bands. The wire tension is increased by tightening. Whenever the patient meets the dentist this wire is tightened. This improves the position of the teeth.

Space Maintainers is placed in between two teeth. When one baby tooth is lost this space maintainer will keep the distance of the neighboring teeth, until the permanent tooth appears. Some of them are fixed and other removable.

The Orthodontic appliance is used for problems like thumb sucking or crooked teeth. It may be uncomfortable while eating and cleaning. It is removable and can be used only when it is necessary.

Treatment Step By Step Orthodontics Mill Park follows certain steps to treat the patient. The first stage of treatment is to gain space for placing the appliance. After it is placed the intensity of the appliance is adjusted according to the comfort of the patient. This adjustment has to be corrected at regular intervals to put the teeth to the correct position. In the third stage, the braces are removed and the teeth are monitored to see if there are correct bite and smile.

Once the braces are placed on the teeth they have to be maintained also. The dentist prescribes the type of brush to be used. Brushing has to be done at least three times daily. The place around the brackets has to be brushed to remove the food debris and plaque. Flossing is also required to remove the dirt in between the teeth. After the braces are removed a retainer has to be worn to keep the teeth in the same position for a few weeks.

Maintain The Diet

It is very essential to take a tooth friendly diet. Acidic foods can damage enamel. If such acidic foods are sipped or retained in the mouth for a long time there would be more damages to the teeth. More sugary and starchy foods can become the reason for tooth decay. Too much soda is also not good, as it is acidic. Saliva cleanses the teeth after every eating. Drinking a lot of water helps to have healthy teeth.

An X-ray is taken to know the condition of the tooth and gums. After all the examination the dentist will decide about the exact treatment to be given. Some problems cannot be dealt with the dentist.
