WHAT ARE BRACES? WHY SHOULD YOU GET BRACES?

Braces are a method that uses specialized orthodontic appliances to adjust and align teeth beautifully and correctly according to the bite.

Why should you get braces? To answer this question, let’s look at cases of crowded, misaligned teeth that share common issues:

Uneven teeth are difficult to clean and maintain plaque
Over time, bacteria and plaque can cause tooth decay and gum inflammation
Misaligned teeth and malocclusion create difficulties in pronunciation and chewing
Tooth surfaces are prone to excessive wear due to overactivity

Braces are the solution to address these issues before they become serious and to improve oral health.

Braces can correct conditions such as: protruding teeth, underbite, gaps, misaligned bite… resulting in a healthy, beautiful, and even smile.

WHICH CASES SHOULD CONSIDER BRACES?

Braces can address the following issues:

• • Protruding teeth
  • Underbite, buck teeth
  • Gaps between teeth, large spaces
  • Teeth growing irregularly, crowded, misaligned
  • Open bite, upper and lower jaws not fitting together
  • Deep bite, receding chin with no visible lower teeth when smiling

Each person will have different levels of severity depending on the degree of misalignment of the teeth, age, and jawbone. You need to visit a dental clinic for an orthodontist to examine your condition, through which you can learn about the method of braces, the duration of treatment, and the expected improvement after treatment.

COMMON BRACE METHODS

Depending on the condition of your teeth, financial situation, and your desires, the doctor will advise on the appropriate method:

Metal Braces:

This is a fixed orthodontic method that attaches a system of brackets and wires to the teeth, creating force to move the teeth. There are many types of brackets:

• • Metal brackets: The metal frame of the braces is sturdy, and the force applied through the brackets and elastic bands makes it easier to align the teeth to the desired position.
  • Ceramic (clear) brackets: They operate similarly to metal braces but are more aesthetically pleasing. Ceramic braces are suitable for those who want a beautiful smile while ensuring aesthetics and financial feasibility.
  • Self-ligating brackets: Also known as self-ligating braces, they are designed with metal/ceramic clips that open and close flexibly. The wires can also slide freely within the bracket slots, minimizing friction, and the wires rarely come loose, reducing the time needed for adjustments.
  • Lingual braces: They function like metal brackets but are placed on the back of your teeth, hiding the brackets inside, providing a high aesthetic effect.

Braces with clear aligners:

Clear aligners are made from medical-grade plastic. The plastic trays fit snugly over the teeth, applying pressure to move and align misaligned teeth. Clear braces are loved for:

• • High aesthetics: This type of tray is nearly invisible, so you won’t feel shy or worried about anyone noticing when wearing the aligners.
  • Simple hygiene, comfortable to wear: Clean the aligners with a regular toothbrush. This method does not require you to wear brackets, rubber bands, or rings, minimizing discomfort and irritation.
  • Easy to remove and insert the aligners: Highly convenient, you can take out the aligners when eating or during oral hygiene, and then easily put them back on. This is nearly impossible with other orthodontic methods.

Braces combined with surgery:

An optimal treatment for cases of overbite or underbite due to jaw structure, requiring jaw surgery to ensure proper occlusion, followed by braces for an even and beautiful result.

AGE RANGE FOR BRACES

There is no age limit for braces; even those over 30 can have them. The treatment can begin from the age of 10 up to 50. However, it is advisable to get braces as early as possible because:

• • In cases of severe bone misalignment, early correction will yield better results, reducing the likelihood of needing surgery or achieving less than 100% results.
  • Patients with improper bite will have difficulty chewing, compromising their health; some patients can only chew on one side, leading to facial asymmetry (unevenness between the two sides of the face).
  • The earlier the correction, the better the patient’s adaptability and the more effective the tooth movement.
  • Facial aesthetics are very important today, helping patients feel more confident, gain more opportunities, and achieve greater success.

However, the older one gets, the more challenging and time-consuming the treatment becomes, as older individuals have higher bone density, making it difficult for the bones to shift the teeth into the correct position.

Frequently Asked Questions about Braces

1. Do braces hurt?
– Orthodontics only affects the outside and does not invade the teeth, bones, or gums. Therefore, the actual feeling will be tightness and sensitivity due to the pulling force.

2. Which stage of braces is the most painful?
– According to specialists, this is not a concerning issue. Braces will only hurt at two times:

• When just wearing the appliance: the braces may rub against the lips and cheeks, possibly causing mouth sores. After 7 days, daily activities and eating will return to normal.
• When tightening the braces periodically: This is when the doctor checks the movement of the teeth. A slight discomfort lasts from 1 to 2 days.

Whether braces hurt depends on the technique applied and the skill of the doctor. At Nụ Cười Duyên Dental Clinic, experienced orthodontists will closely monitor the condition of the teeth to adjust the appliance to apply just enough force to move the teeth without discomfort.

3. What should be done to reduce pain when wearing braces?
– Cold compress: Placing an ice pack on the area experiencing pain will help soothe the discomfort.

– Rinse with salt water: Rinsing with warm salt water helps reduce pain and disinfect areas affected by dental appliances.

– Have a suitable diet:

• Eat soft, non-chewy foods
• Limit sticky foods such as chewing gum, sticky rice, etc.
• Avoid carbonated drinks and colored beverages to prevent damage and discoloration of teeth.

– Proper oral hygiene: Clean your teeth with dental floss, a water flosser, and an interdental brush after eating.

• Brush your teeth twice a day.
• Use mouthwash for fresh breath.
• Use orthodontic wax to support areas where the wire and brackets may irritate.
