How are you all? Today I am very happy to participate in the "Dental Expert: Orthodontics" contest on Healthy Steam again. I would like to participate in the contest prepared by @helengutier2 mam, which is mentioned below for my participation.
🦷What is orthodontics and when is it necessary to use it? |
|---|
Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that diagnoses, prevents and corrects dental and jaw malocclusions (such as high and low, crooked and gapped teeth). If the teeth are crowded on top of each other or do not have enough space, orthodontic treatment basically involves putting on removable plates or fixed braces to align the teeth with a tolerable level of pressure so that you can give everyone your best beautiful smile.
🦷Have you had braces, tell me how your experience was and if you haven't had them, do you think you need them? |
|---|
No, I have not had braces before, but I know someone who has. What kind of problems can that person have if they have crooked teeth? There must be dental problems. When he brushes his crooked teeth, no matter how much he brushes them, the tooth inside cannot be cleaned. If he doesn't brush them, they turn black and stained. That was annoying to him.And I don't assume I want them due to the fact I have no troubles with my tooth, but I will use them each time I observe that I have a problem with my teeth.
🦷Tell me what the components of orthodontic appliances are. |
|---|
Orthodontic appliances are made of various substances, that may range relying on the form of treatment and the need.
🔹Metal brackets:Made of stainless-steel or titanium, they may be connected to the teeth
🔹Archwires:Keel-titanium or stainless steel wires are connected between the brackets to help exchange the placement of the teeth.
🔹Ligatures: Elastic bands or steel ties hold the brackets and archwires together
🔹Orthodontic bands: Stainless steel earrings which can be now and again positioned on the returned tooth to offer extra help.
🔹Space maintainers:Made of stainless-steel or acrylic, they are used to maintain the space between enamel in children.
🔹Headgear:Made of a metallic frame and straps, they change the placement of the teeth via making use of outside pressure.
🦷Tell me what are the steps of orthodontics? |

Orthodontic treatment is finished in several levels, which may vary depending at the affected person's dental trouble, the form of treatment, and the particular goals. The fashionable levels of orthodontic remedy are mentioned below.
- Initial consultation and assessment: Examination of the patient's tooth, jaws, and bite pattern, analysis of the teeth shape using panoramic X-rays, cephalometric X-rays, or 3-D scans.
- Treatment plan: After an examination by way of the orthodontist, he'll decide on the great direction of movement.
- Making images and impressions: Molds and pictures of the teeth are taken for treatment planning. The orthodontist analyzes the patient's hassle and determines the specific treatment method.
- Teeth cleaning and guidance: Before making use of braces, the enamel are wiped clean and, if essential, fillings or extractions are finished. In a few patients, rubber is used to create area between the teeth before making use of braces.
- Braces or aligners are used, nutritional habits and oral care are cautioned. A new plan is taken after checking the development of the remedy.
- Regular checkups: Dental checkups need to be finished to make certain the fitness of the enamel and gums. The patient is made aware of brushing, flossing and eating conduct.
Although that is a long-term manner, it's far possible to make certain the beauty and capability of the tooth with right treatment
