What is Orthodontics? What are braces?


Orthodontics is a specialty in which one must first attend dental school followed by years of specialized training in field of Orthodontics. Conventional braces are appliances that are generally placed on the front surface of the teeth. They are fabricated of either metal, ceramic or gold. We also offer the newest trend of Orthodontics known as Invisalign. These appliances are different than conventional braces in that they are removable and invisible. Conventional braces are applied to the teeth using a dental bonding adhesive. A thin metal wire is then placed into each bracket secured by molar bands attached to the top and bottom of the rear molar teeth. The skill of the orthodontist is to position each bracket and secure the wire in order to achieve the desired Orthodontic result.


How do I know I need braces?


Usually your General Dentist will mention the need for Orthodontics during a scheduled routine visit. Whether or not your General Dentist suggests the need, you may be able to look in the mirror and tell. If your teeth overlap, one on top of or behind another, if they are crowded and there seems to be too many teeth pushing together, or if there are spaces or gaps between your teeth, you are probably a good candidate for braces. If your teeth stick out or seem too far back, if you can't seem to clean well between your teeth or if you experience a "clicking or popping" sound when you chew, Orthodontics may be for you.
