Dental Braces, Leeds
Dr Reshma Parambil
Even though body acceptance has been promoted globally, unhealthy teeth still cause people to feel self-conscious about themselves. When teeth are healthy, people feel confident and can smile without fear of embarrassment. A beautiful smile not only boost your self-esteem, but also increase happiness levels in a person’s life.
Dental braces are the tools that are used to fix problems with your teeth, such as crowding, crookedness, and misalignment.
If your teeth are crooked or if your bite is misaligned (an underbite or overbite), you may need braces or retainers. When it comes to the most cost-effective braces, look no further than Zayra dental Leeds. Invisalign has established as a leading brand of removable aligners in UK. Our experts always help you choose the best aligners to suit your problem and budget rather than offering Invisalign for all. As always one size does not fit all! To fully understand this , let us look at the different type of braces available.
Types of braces:
Today’s braces aren’t the shiny metal mouthfuls of the past. There are a plethora of options available. Some of the types of braces are present below:
- Metal braces: Metal is the traditional material for braces. For this treatment to work, your dentist may use metal brackets that are attached to your teeth using orthodontic cement and will connect these metal braces with arch wires. Traditional braces can be customized with the addition of colored elastic ties with this treatment. Dental plaque is a common complication associated with metal braces that leads to inflammation and irritation in gums .
- Ceramic braces: Unlike traditional braces, tooth-colored ceramic brackets are also available in the market. They work in much the same way as metal braces but are more discreet and less noticeable. Ceramic braces offer a great alternative to metal braces if you are uneasy about wearing metal braces. Ceramic braces demand more care and maintenance.
- Lingual braces: These braces are least common among all the braces in the market because they require a different set of skills. Because lingual braces are attached to the back of your teeth this makes them difficult to see. These braces are an ideal candidate for someone who is uncomfortable with using braces altogether.
- Clear aligners: These are clear plastic trays that fit snugly over your teeth. Invisible aligners resemble mouth-guards but act as braces to straighten your teeth. These types of braces have gained popularity among patients who have mild to moderate dental issues like misaligned teeth, a large overbite, no problems with their jaw alignment, and open teeth.
Since these braces are custom-made trays, it holds a great advantage over other types of braces. You can remove these braces when you are eating or having a drink. With clear braces, you can straighten your teeth comfortably, beautifully, and precisely in half the time, it would take with traditional braces.
