Information On Braces

Dental Braces for Teeth

For Those who doesn't really know what is braces and what are the purposes, Here's are some information to gets you to understand:

Dental braces are devices that are used for correcting irregularities of the teeth. Find out more about them here.

 

Dental braces, also referred to as orthodontic braces, are an appliance that are used to correct dental irregularities such as straightening crooked teeth, aligning both the jaws, relieving pressure on the temporomandibular joints, and also improving the aesthetics of the face and smile.

When are Dental Braces Fitted?
Braces for the teeth can be fitted at any age, although ideally the procedure is carried out in children, and is less common in adults. The reason being that the jawbones as well as the bone surrounding the teeth are much more malleable in children, and therefore respond better to the molding process of the braces. Whereas as far as adults are concerned, surgery is usually required to alter the jawbones. Hence it is advisable that orthodontic procedures be done as early as possible, soon after teeth alignment problems are detected in a child.

Although there is no particular age when braces for the teeth can be fitted, but it is advisable to wait until there are enough adult teeth. As far as children are concerned, apart from creating well-aligned and straight teeth, the aim of fitting braces and orthodontic treatment is also used for improving the facial structure, the effects of which will be retained for the rest of their lives. However, in adults, orthodontic treatments are far more complicated. Those adults who do choose to opt for the treatment need to be aware that it entails wearing a retainer at night if they want to maintain the effects of the treatment for the rest of their lives. A retainer is a dental appliance that holds the teeth in position subsequent to an orthodontic treatment.

 

What is the Procedure for Fitting Braces?
Dental braces are fitted by an orthodontist or a dentist. First a complete dental examination is carried out, then X-rays taken, after which plaster molds of the teeth are made. Sometimes teeth may have to be extracted, if there is crowding of teeth, before the braces can be fitted. Although, these days it is the trend not to extract permanent teeth as far as possible. When the crowding is minor, removable or fixed appliances are used to expand the jaws. The braces are made according to the plaster molds, with each bracket being fitted on each tooth. These brackets are kept aligned with the help of small wires, which are hooked between each of the brackets.

Various Types of Braces for the Teeth

 

There are a number of dental braces that are used according to various age groups. For example, there are braces that are meant just for infants, which are used for treating congenital abnormalities like cleft palates. There are other types that are used on milk teeth, or when there are both milk as well as permanent teeth. Then there are the braces that are meant to be used for fully permanent teeth. A few orthopedic devices are used to realign the growth of the jawbone.

Some of the various types of braces available are:

Stainless steel or silver braces, which are the most common, then there are braces with stainless steel brackets as well as archwires that have various colored ties around the brackets. There are also braces that have brackets and archwires made of real gold, which are worn by people who are allergic to stainless steel, although they are also worn to make a statement about using braces as a type of jewelry on teeth. Then there are braces that have white or transparent brackets, sometimes with even the archwires being transparent, making the braces almost undetectable. Some people opt for lingual braces which are fixed behind the teeth, thus are not visible.

 

After reading hope you get the understands of braces.

Do comment here if you still have questions in your mind; i'll try to answer as much as i can!(:

 

Cheers,

GET YOUR BRACES ON

On 18/5/2012 , i had my appointment at the dental they said that i have to get my gum treatment first before processing to braces. The gum treatment cost around $120 and for the braces which is $4k Which total i have to pay $4120. OK! Don't say waaaa you so rich ah! I'm not kay! i have to pay by myself de HOR! That's why i'm so envy nowadays the kids can get braces on when they are in primary schools/ those which doesn't have to pay themselves. You guys counted bless already hor!

Ok get back to the topic. As i mentioned on th 18/5/2012 is my first visit to dental, As for first visit i had to pay only $320. And my savings which was left $300 after paying $320. OK! my salary was like $850 per month which i still had to deduct for CPF,SDL & CDAC(-.-") after deducted left $705.50, which i had to save like mad. Everyday i had to bring my own food to work so i could save, if not how am i going to get my braces done? I know i sounded desperate to get my braces on as you know i've been wanting to get it done when i was in secondary 2! and my mum said to me you want braces you have to save and pay yourself.

This is the gum treatment that i got from google.

Ok get back to the topic.(: The top photo is the process of gum treatment.
The process of gum treatment is endurable i would rate the pain 3/10. So get your gum treated! and you can smile confidently. After treatment of my gums feels so much refreshing and CLEANED!(:
 Next for my braces i had to get my moulding done. Firstly they use a metal thinging i've no idea what does it named, and they will put something pinkish like your gum colour but looks like gummy but kinda of gluey when it land on your jaw the dental will press it on your jaw then leave it there for about a few secs/5mins. and it will harden and form a shape of how your teeth and gum look like. This is to help them to view where your teeth should be extracted. Moulding is complusory but for X-Ray not really depends on your teeth condition.

As for mine i do not need any X-Ray. After moulding and treatment done, that's the end of friday's appointment. The dentist ask me if i'm able to come on saturday which was 19/5/2012 for braces/ either extraction( depends my choice) So i say braces first, as i haven prepare of getting my tooth extract. I KNOW i sounded like a scaredy cat. I'm not kay?! who else doesn't afraid of pain? you tell me.



HAHAHHA... ok so i told them i'll be ending work on sat at 1pm. Then will only be vacancy after 1pm. Then they was like hmmm.. what about sun? I have classes till 1pm. Then they hmm... your schedules is really packed (which they always closed at 1pm for weekend). :/  I say YES!! hahah..( so i need special arrangement).

Braces

Previously i've booked an appointment for braces at polyclinic, as it's cheaper. As what people says if you can waiT. As it takes a long time before it reaches your turn. But i didn't believe much on that so i make an appointment. And my appointment is in October, is like i book it on feburary one of the days and it's like a long way before it reaches my turn i was like ----......---"|| (u got to be kidding me?!)


Haven even get my consultation done! What if after consultation and i have to wait for a few months again?!.................. So recently i called a private clinic at tampines area near to the bus interchange and ask for more details(which my friend recommended me) it cost 4k, well but at least private is faster in a way. It's quite payable as for the first visit you only have to pay $200 if you get started, then second month in which you have to pay half of the 4k but, if you have financial difficulties you may pay $500 at each times. SO it's reasonable.


Therefore my appointment will be tomorrow after straight from my work!! HAHAHAH, so excited.
Can't wait for my braces to be put on, But i'll have to bear with the process first. Like polishing, X-Ray, extraction ( The part where i'm worried of!) probably will be drinking my own blood for few days or either losing of blood!LOl.. hahaha..


Will update about my process of braces tmr!(:
