Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that caters to the alignment of the crooked teeth. Previously this treatment was restricted to children and young adults. However, with the advances in the dental field, today it is possible to get teeth aligned at any age. Another major achievement is in the mode of treatment. Orthodontics started with the use of removable appliances. These were not only cumbersome and difficult to wear but at the same time results achieved depended to a large extent on the patient’s compliance.To overcome this disadvantage, fixed braces were introduced. Fixed braces gained high popularity because the results achieved did not depend on the patient’s compliance and even the most complex of the cases could be treated easily. There was an option to choose between metallic and ceramic tooth colored braces.
However, as the demand for braces for adults increased, these braces were not found to be 100% suitable as patients from older age groups were not comfortable with the idea of wearing braces at this age. This led to the introduction of clear aligners(No wires, no braces) which has completely revolutionized the practice of adult braces.These aligners can also be used to treat patients of younger age group. Another major advantage with the aligners is that there is no need for regular check ups or visits. One can by himself/herself change to a new aligner every 2 weeks without the need to visit a dentist.
So today anyone opting for alignment of crooked teeth has a number of option to choose from.The treatment is completely painless, predictable and easy.
