Hello everyone i'm Dr.mosab how are you hope you all doing good 

So today we have another common questions is that what is Orthodontic and why i need it for ?

, also some patient's says oh these metal brackets gonna look so ugly is there another solution , will i feel pain during treatment and How long it takes ???????

i'm gonna answer it all here

What is Orthodontic ?

Orthodontic is the branch of dentistry dealing with the prevention and correction of irregular teeth, as by means of braces. 

why  do i need orthodontic ?

it's not correct that every one need's orthodontic braces it just some people with mis-aligned teeth which also 

interfere with normal function of the mouth as cross-bite ,deep bite ,class 1 malocclusion (Crowding of teeth)

class 2 , class 3 , shifted mid-line of teeth in compare to mid-line of face (as tom cruse here )

 


if i left my teeth un-corrected or un-treated will this be bad on my future oral health ?

well this depends on degree of mal-occlusion weather there is early mesial shift or not 

if i decided to have an Orthodontic What are my options for treatment ?

1-metal braces which can be used with a combination of creamics braces for anterior teeth which is less visible 

2-Invisalign also called clear aligner which is good for many cases 

3-Lingual braces it's new way for correcting teeth and ( alot of cases shows high success ) many patient's like it 

as it is less shown and also faster in treatment  

 

How the discomfort can be reduced ?

recently a new type of bracket system called self-ligating bracket has reduced dis-comfort markedly alot than conventional elastic tie type and yea it's faster

How can i maintain a good oral hygiene with orthodontic brackets in place ?

 well , this is the most important part as patient need the inter-dental brush by which it can goes in between 

the wire and brackets to clean the area probably , as bracket act as a retentive area for plaque and bacteria if not well cleaned here how it looks like 

When i can remove my braces ?

this particular question depends on many things including what is degree of mal-occlusion is it severe moderate , what type bracket system the orthodontist used ,degree of cooperation with orthodontist 


do you follw up regular with you orthodontist ??!!

will some of teeth will be extracted ?

in most cases there is no need for extraction unless the crowding is severe 

So that was for now hope you like it please feel free to ask 

that's me Dr.mosab 

have a nice day
