BRACES AND QUERIES

May I play sports while wearing braces?
Yes. But wear a protective mouth guard.

Will braces interfere with playing musical instruments?
With practice and a period of adjustment, braces typically do not interfere with the playing of wind or brass instruments.

My teeth have been crooked for many years - why should I have orthodontic treatment now?
It’s never too late! Healthy teeth can be moved at any age. Orthodontic treatment can restore good function. And teeth that work better usually look better, too. A healthy, beautiful smile can improve self-esteem, no matter the age.

I am pregnant and want to begin orthodontic treatment. Is this OK?
Pregnancy brings on bodily changes that may affect the mouth. Soft tissues such as gums become much more susceptible to infection. Discuss this question with your medical practitioner/physician and orthodontist before you start orthodontic treatment.

Do teeth with braces need special care?
Yes. Patients with braces must be careful to avoid hard, sticky, chewy and crunchy foods, or hard objects, such as pens, pencils or fingernails. Keeping the teeth and braces clean requires more precision and time, and must be done every day if the teeth and gums are to be healthy during and after orthodontic treatment. Clean, healthy teeth move more quickly

I see ads for perfect teeth in only one or two visits to the dentist. Will that give me straight teeth?
Quick-fix veneers temporarily cover crooked teeth. Teeth straightened by an orthodontist are good for life.

I don’t want braces that show. What are my options?
In some cases, brackets may be bonded behind the teeth (lingual braces). Some of today’s wires are made of "space age" materials that exert a steady, gentle pressure on the teeth, so that the tooth-moving process may be faster and more comfortable for patients. A type of clear orthodontic wire is currently in an experimental stage. Another option may be the use of a series of plastic tray aligners instead of traditional braces to correct some problems.

Simple Measures can Prevent Tooth Decay

Our teeth are the best assets that often help massively in making a first impression. A bright smile goes a long way in healing divisions and in making new friends. With this in mind, it is important to take care of teeth so as to prevent decay. Some simple measures can go a long way in keeping teeth healthy.

[1] Use fluoride toothpaste to brush your teeth at least twice a day.

[2] Shun smoking and tobacco.

[3] Do not drink fizzy drinks regularly; they can erode your teeth.

[4] Floss your teeth once daily.

[5] Rinse your mouth after each meal.

6] Visit your dentists once in six months even if you do not have any problem. Dietary adjustments will also help keep teeth problem-free.

Avoiding sweets that stick to the teeth and taking them along with a complete meal will help keep teeth healthy. Eating tough foods increases saliva secretion and will also help keep teeth clean.
