> Orthodontic Treatment - Braces
Orthodontic treatment or braces is
the
treatment of choice to correct the malpositioned or crooked teeth,
without altering the natural shape of the teeth. This is also the most
effective treatment for most bite (occlusion) related problems.
In our clinic the Orthodontic treatment is done by a specialist orthodontist. We use different orthodontic systems which are popularly used worldwide. All the systems being used are available in the form of durable metal braces or as highly esthetic tooth colored ceramic braces.
Metal Braces are the most common type. They are made of high grade stainless steel. Today's metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more attractive. Traditional metal braces are the first choice for most patients. These braces usually are the most durable and tend to move the teeth most efficiently, resulting in shorter treatment time.

| Ceramic braces are made of translucent (clear) material. They are most popular with adult patients, due to their cosmetic appeal. |  |
Clear braces
are much less visible than other types of brackets, especially when
coupled with white wires, but they also are less durable, which means
that treatment can take a little longer. The only drawback to ceramic
brackets are that they are more fragile and the elastic ties can
discolor between orthodontic visits.

* ROTH system- this is one of the most popular and practical systems being used all over the world, with very high degree of patient comfort.

It is important to know that if time is not a decisive factor,
orthodontic treatment is always preferred over other restorative or
esthetic procedures as it is more permanent and long lasting and
contributes to maintenance of the health of the orofacial structures.
Orthodontic treatment must be done by a specialist orthodontist, as improper treatment can have deleterious effects and long lasting consequences.

| The success of the orthodontic treatment also depends on the retention phase when the patient has to wear the retainers as advised by the orthodontist, as the teeth may return to their original positions if the retainers are not worn. |  |
