Braces

Description

The procedure for getting braces typically begins with a comprehensive orthodontic consultation. During this initial appointment, the orthodontist conducts a thorough examination of the patient's teeth, jaws, and mouth. This may include taking X-rays, photographs, and dental impressions to create detailed models of the patient's teeth. Based on this initial assessment, the orthodontist develops a customized treatment plan that outlines the type of braces required, estimated duration of treatment, and any other necessary dental appliances. This is also the stage where any necessary preparatory work, such as extractions or fillings, is identified and scheduled. The second phase involves the actual placement of the braces. This procedure usually takes about one to two hours and is performed in the orthodontist's office. First, the teeth are cleaned and dried thoroughly. Then, a special glue is applied to attach the brackets to each tooth. The orthodontist carefully positions each bracket and uses a curing light to harden the adhesive. Once all the brackets are in place, the orthodontist threads the archwire through the brackets and secures it with small elastic bands. Adjustments and tightening will be scheduled periodically over the next several months to years, during which the braces will gradually move the teeth into their desired positions. Proper oral hygiene and regular check-ups are essential throughout the treatment to ensure that the teeth and gums remain healthy.

Ailments treated by this procedure: Crowded Teeth, Protruding Front Teeth, Overbite, Underbite, and Crooked Teeth

Protruding Mouth and Jaw Surgery Protruding Mouth Surgery (ASO): This surgery involves extracting four teeth and using the extraction spaces to reposition the mouth, followed by about 10-12 months of postoperative dental correction. It's a quick-recovery procedure but may make the chin look longer and cannot address asymmetry. Two-Jaw Surgery (Orthognathic Surgery): This comprehensive surgery realigns the entire facial skeleton, treating long faces, large faces, and asymmetry while creating a V-line jaw with additional procedures like square jaw or chin surgery. Recovery is relatively fast, and postoperative correction is shorter or sometimes unnecessary. Face Contouring Surgery Square Jaw Reduction Surgery: This surgery involves reshaping the jawbone to create a slimmer, more aesthetically pleasing facial profile. It targets the lower jaw's width and angles for a more contoured look. Chin Surgery: Chin surgery enhances the chin’s size, shape, and projection to create a balanced facial silhouette. This procedure can involve implants or bone reshaping. Cheekbone Reduction: This procedure reduces the prominence of cheekbones, creating a softer and more balanced facial contour. It involves reshaping the zygomatic bones for a more harmonious look. Body Plastic Surgery Apple Hip-Up Surgery: This surgery enhances the shape and lift of the buttocks, creating a fuller, rounder look. It involves fat grafting or implants for volume enhancement. Breast Surgery: Breast surgeries range from augmentation to lifts and reductions, aimed at achieving the desired shape and size. These procedures enhance body proportion and boost confidence. Liposuction: Liposuction removes excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body, improving body contour. It’s ideal for areas resistant to diet and exercise. Eye Surgery Double Eyelid Surgery: This procedure creates a defined upper eyelid crease, enhancing the eye shape and appearance. It's popular for achieving a more youthful and alert look. Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning: This surgery addresses under-eye bags by repositioning or removing fat for a smoother appearance. It reduces the tired look and revitalizes the eyes. Nose Surgery Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery): Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose for better aesthetic harmony with the face, addressing size, shape, and structure. It can also correct functional issues like breathing problems. Lifting and Fillers Facial Lifting: Techniques like thread lifts or surgical lifts enhance skin tightness and reduce sagging, providing a more youthful appearance. These procedures target areas like the jawline, cheeks, and neck. Fat Grafting: This minimally invasive procedure uses your own fat to fill and volumize areas like the face or buttocks. It offers natural-looking results and long-lasting volume. Visit Star Plastic Surgery Clinic for expert consultations and personalized treatment plans tailored to your needs and aesthetic goals.
