What is Orthodontics?
Orthodontic treatment, mainly in layman’s terms, we call bracing of teeth [teeth braces]. This treatment is used to treat malalignment of teeth, crooked teeth, and spacing between teeth. To get partially impacted teeth in occlusion.
Types of Braces
- Metal Braces (Traditional Braces) : These are traditional old school metal braces, where forces are applied using wires, elastics.
- Ceramic Braces (Tooth-Coloured Braces) : These are tooth coloured, white ceramic braces, which are more aesthetic in appearance and more comfortable for the patient. Here, only the wire will be visible.
- Lingual Braces : For lingual braces, the approach of bonding brackets is done on the palatal side of the upper and lingual side of the lower teeth. Specialised wires are used to move the teeth. You have to be careful and selective with your food habits.
- Self-Ligating Braces : These are the advanced braces available in both metal and ceramic variants. If you are concerned about aesthetics, you can opt for ceramic self-ligating braces. The advantage of these braces over traditional are, early treatment and more refined and better corrections that last lifelong with little or no discomfort.
- Clear Aligners : This is the most advanced type of orthodontic correction method, wherein you don’t need to carry any braces or wires inside your mouth. A clear, transparent aligner plate guides your teeth and jaw for correction. It is less time-consuming, and results can be predicted before starting treatment.
How Orthodontics Work?
A clinical as well as radiographic correlation is carried out, looking at the patient's oral, physical, and medical condition. Once the evaluation is done and the brace type is decided, and bonding of brackets is done onto the patient's teeth.
Before carrying out the bonding procedure and calculus, if present, is removed, any dental caries, if present, need to be addressed.
Patient is recalled after every 20-30 days for regular follow-ups, where elastic or wire, as per the treatment plan, are changed and forces are applied for teeth movement.
This treatment is a lengthy procedure and requires patient cooperation and time.
Once the desired results are achieved, braces are debonded, and the patient is shifted to retainers. Which he/she has to wear for at least 6 months, else the chances of relapse are higher.

Orthodontics Myths vs. Facts
- Myth: Braces cause ulceration.

- Myth: Once braces are removed, teeth stay straight forever.
- Fact: Teeth have a natural tendency to shift over time; wearing retainers after treatment is a must to maintain the alignment and results.
- Myth: Braces are only for cosmetic reasons.
- Fact: While a beautiful smile is a benefit, orthodontics also corrects bite problems, overcrowding, and improves overall oral health, preventing early risk of dental caries.
