How does treatment work and what does it cost? - Dental braces

 


Dental braces are a type of orthodontic treatment that is used to correct crowded, crooked, protruding, out-of-alignment or irregularly spaced teeth. Braces help to build a more appealing and healthier smile for both kids and adults by pushing the teeth into the perfect position.

It is important that you understand what is involved with care and what it costs before you can decide if the bite correction is right for you. But let's break the whole thing down.

When are the braces needed?

When teeth are crooked and crowded, it becomes very hard to keep them clean. If it is not possible to finish brushing and flossing properly, tooth decay, gum disease and possible tooth loss can occur.

As well as causing abnormal wear to the enamel of your teeth, an improper bite will interfere with your ability to chew and talk properly. If your teeth are protruding and/or your upper and lower teeth do not easily come together, there could also be jaw issues.

Therefore, braces do more than keep your smile looking good by keeping your teeth in the right shape and allowing for proper oral hygiene. They even help you preserve the protection of your teeth, gums, and oral cavity. There is now evidence to suggest that periodontal infections can penetrate the bloodstream and cause heart conditions resulting from poor oral hygiene.

The Right Age of Braces

A individual normally inherits tooth spacing, malocclusion, crowding, misalignment, or similar problems from their parents. However these symptoms can also be caused by behaviors such as thumb sucking, tongue rubbing, lip wedging, mouth breathing due to allergies or large tonsils and adenoids, premature loss of teeth or trauma, and usually begin to occur between the ages of six and 12 years the time when permanent teeth begin to erupt.

Orthodontic care with dental braces should therefore begin between the ages of 8 and 14 in order to obtain optimum results. It is usually considered desirable to have an orthodontic examination no later than the age of seven, since this is when there is a good balance of baby and adult teeth in the mouth.

Often at this period in a child's life, dentists are best able to spot developing teeth and jaw development. This helps them to predict issues that can occur and to schedule the care of braces accordingly.

Braces for Adults

Kids are not the only ones who can take advantage of dental braces. In order to address alignment, spacing, crowding and malocclusion problems, adults may also undergo orthodontic care. The moving teeth procedure is essentially the same at any age, but for adults, the treatment can take longer. This is due to the fact that adult facial bones are no longer developing, and it may be difficult to use braces alone for such corrections. Tooth extraction or maxillofacial surgery may be required, depending on the particular form and nature of your alignment or malocclusion problem.

How much is it costing?

A number of variables, including the type of treatment, the length of treatment, the orthodontist, venue, your dental insurance, and any other restorative work that may need to be done prior to or after treatment, may decide your particular cost profile. Because of the severity of the orthodontic problem, as well as the regional variations in charges, costs vary.
