Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing and treating “bad bites” (malocclusion). Common orthodontic treatments include braces, clear aligners, and retainers.
Dental braces are appliances that are used to align or straighten the teeth and guide the teeth to the corrected position. They are made up of wires, brackets, and bands. Braces aid in correcting irregular tooth positioning, jaw correction, improvement in chewing, and smile aesthetics. Your dentist is the best person to guide you on treatment options and modalities depending on your dentition.
The major reason for getting braces is to improve the facial appearance. what people do not know is that there are any other implications that require orthodontic treatment, like an open bite, jaw structure, and a crossbite etc.
This is a stage where adult teeth or permanent teeth replace primary teeth, which aid in appearance, speech, and digestion. During this phase, people can face many issues that can be corrected by braces. These issues include:
Crowding / Haphazardly placed teeth can lead to poor oral hygiene and can also be the reason for dental caries (cavities)
Improper bite that affects chewing efficiency
Crooked teeth ,which can be a major reason for periodontal problems such as Bleeding Gums, Halitosis (Bad Breath) and Tooth Mobility (Premature loss of teeth)
If the teeth are irregular, then it can cause calculus deposits, leading to the yellow teeth.
Forwardly placed / Proclined Teeth which leads to a more convex profile and posteriorly displaced chin.
Open Bite
The spacing between teeth which can cause speech problems
This is a stage when one has a combination of both primary and permanent teeth in the mouth is called Mixed Dentition. Wearing braces at this stage cures the following problems.
Jaw growth disorders at this stage can be corrected in a non-invasive manner, which may later require surgical correction.

These are the traditional and most common types of braces. The metal braces used today are much more comfortable and smaller in size. These require elastics, which come in a variety of colors to tie the wire to the braces. The wires use your body heat to move your teeth more quickly and less painfully. There is no age limit attached to these, as patients of all ages can choose to straighten their teeth using metal braces.
These are metal brackets with a shutter or lock system and do not require the use of elastic to tie the wire. In comparison to traditional metal braces, metal self-ligating braces are more comfortable and smaller in size. These are helpful in achieving arch expansion and minimizing the need for extraction.
Ceramic braces are the ones with clear brackets. They use tooth color and blends more naturally with your teeth. The shape and size are the same as those of metal braces. These are less visible on the teeth, and as a result, are preferred by older teenagers and adults who might have aesthetic concerns. Sometimes, even the wires used are of tooth colored which makes them less noticeable. Being less prominent, they require more care and protection compared to metal braces, as they are larger and more brittle. They require extra protection; hence they are used more in upper teeth than lower ones.
Lingual Braces are heavy metal braces which that are placed behind the teeth. These metallic braces can even be made of silver or gold. The individual bracket is customized using CAD-CAM / 3D Design. The treatment is highly aesthetic and less visible. This, however, can cause mild speech difficulties during the course of the treatment.
Clear Aligners are medical, grade plastic trays that do not require any braces or wire. They are totally invisible; hence, the aesthetic concerns are duly met, and which makes them very appealing to adults who need orthodontic treatment. Though placed inside they do not have any food restrictions associated with them . People believe that being placed on the inside mens , they might face speech difficulties, which is a myth. On the other hand, transparent braces are highly comfortable and hygienic. Clear aligners also hide existing gaps.
| Traditional Braces | Clear Aligners | |
|---|---|---|
| Visibility | Highly Noticeable | Invisible – One cannot spot them easily |
| Removability | Non – Removable | Removable – People have freedom to remove aligners while eating, brushing & flossing |
| Oral Hygiene | Difficult to maintain routine healthy Oral Care | Since removable, it is easy to maintain routine healthy Oral Care |
| Comfort | Can cause abrasion in mouth | Fits smoothly on the teeth |
| Duration | Takes longer than aligners(varies from case to case) | Takes relatively less time than traditional braces(varies from case to case) |
