What is braces treatment?
Braces or Orthodontic treatment is considered for malaligned teeth, gaps between teeth, procline teeth & various other reasons. With improper teeth alignment, it becomes difficult to smile, eat, take a bite, and whatnot. A set of wires is placed over or under the misaligned teeth which over a period of time fixes the alignment and gives an aesthetic and overall filled look to the teeth.
How an malaligned tooth is a problem?
Malaligned teeth are difficult to clean and tend to accumulate more plaque & tartar which in return result in tooth decay. They are not very aesthetic & give an unpleasant smile There can be speech issues incase of serially malaligned tooth
Things to consider for braces treatment:
The orthodontic treatment is basically a long-term treatment. It takes time for the braces to have their effect on the teeth and it is usually a process of a year or two.
Certain simple cases get treated within a year while complex cases take at least 3 years to dwell with your teeth. However, the treatment is worth the time for an overall aesthetic look of your teeth which would yield a fruitful result.
Hence, if you think that you can invest a certain period and compromise over certain things, getting braces done should be your priority.
But if you think that you couldn’t pull it off right now, take a halt, and make this an option.
