Orthodontic Braces are a dental treatment method that utilizes braces, consisting of brackets and wires, which are attached to the teeth to apply a pulling force in the opposite direction of the misaligned tooth. This force helps to gradually shift the position of the teeth, creating a curve that adjusts the function and appearance of the teeth. This method is commonly used to treat functional issues in the mouth and to create balance in the teeth.

The benefits of orthodontic braces

The benefits of orthodontic braces include:

• Improving appearance: Orthodontic braces can improve the shape of teeth and jaw, boosting confidence when speaking and smiling.
• Enhancing function: Orthodontic braces can improve the function of teeth and jaw, allowing patients to eat and speak more comfortably.
• Reducing the risk of health problems: Misaligned teeth and jaw can cause various health issues such as gum inflammation, tooth decay, tooth pain, headaches, sleep disorders, and digestive problems. Orthodontic braces can help reduce these risks.
• Easy oral hygiene: Proper alignment of teeth and jaw makes it easier to maintain oral hygiene, reducing the risk of tooth decay and gum inflammation.

Types of braces currently 

There are various types of braces currently in use, including:

• Metal braces: These are the most common type of braces, consisting of stainless steel wires attached to the teeth with brackets. The metal frames are strong and can effectively correct dental and jaw issues, but may cause discomfort and damage to the gums. Metal braces are generally less expensive than other types of braces.
• Ceramic braces: These can be used as an alternative to metal braces and are made of white or clear ceramic wire. They can be smoothed or polished to avoid damaging the gums. Ceramic braces are popular for their aesthetic appeal, as they blend in with the color of the teeth.
• Self-ligating braces: This is a method that uses metal wings or an automatic sliding system to secure the wire in the braces without the use of elastic ties. The wire can slide freely in the braces, allowing for faster treatment times. Although self-ligating braces are relatively expensive, they can reduce the duration of orthodontic treatment.

Cost of orthodontic braces

The cost of braces is a top concern when someone plans to undergo orthodontic treatment. Typically, the cost will depend on several factors such as:

• The severity and complexity of the dental issue
• The expertise and experience of the orthodontist
• The location, standards, and quality of the dental clinic

To obtain accurate and specific information about the cost of braces, it is recommended that you visit dental clinics in person for examination and consultation with specialized dentists. From there, you can choose the type of braces and receive a suitable quote.
