Fixed Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontics is the correcting of tooth alignment and bite problems.
It deals with the straightening of teeth and with fixing over or
under bites.
perfect smile should consist of straight teeth, be gap and overlap-free,
and the top teeth should align with the bottom
On average, orthodontic treatment tends to take about two to two
and a half years. After a few initial assessment appointments, the
orthodontist will glue metal or clear brackets to your teeth, held
together by a wire. If you have an over or underbite, he or she
may also assign headgear or a facebow to push or pull your jaw into
place. Expect to see your orthodontist at least once a month, to
have your braces checked and the wire holding your brackets together
tightened. When the braces are removed, you will have to wear a
retainer for a specified period of time to keep your new smile in
place.
