Braces are a collective term used for orthodontic treatment comprising of three components which are brackets and wire and elastics. Brackets are small, square shaped clips that are attached to the superficial surface of tooth, and wire is inserted between these brackets and elastic hold wire to the brackets which apply the pressure to align the teeth. There are different types of bites when it comes to dentition aspect which should be harmonious with the appearance of a person. In ideal bite, the upper front teeth are slightly in outward position which overlaps the lower front teeth in both horizontal and vertical position when they meet is termed as Occlusion.

What are braces?

When this isn’t present in a person, it’s considered to be a Malocclusion, and there are several divisions explaining different types of Malocclusion. CLASS I is generally for ideal occlusion. CLASS II is where front teeth are in far outward position with the lower teeth with far back position and gives a protruded look. CLASS III upper teeth are in too back position and lower teeth are in forward position giving edge to edge look.

There are other types of bite other then these, namely CROSSBITE where one or more lower teeth overlap the upper teeth in front or in back, DEEP BITE where upper front teeth overlap the lower front teeth far too much and lower teeth touch the palate, OPEN BITE where sometimes back teeth meet and front teeth are apart or front teeth meet and back teeth are apart from lower teeth.

There are many reasons for the Malocclusion including genetic disorder, result of an accident, sometimes bad habits such as thumb sucking, mouth breathing, tongue thrusting etc.

Always be well informed about the treatment, its limitations and precautions. Braces are small brackets attached to the front surface of the teeth with a bond and it is accompanied by a stainless steel wire with elastic attached to it to apply pressure on teeth to give results. When the treatment is done, an appliance made of acrylic is given to wear for a certain amount of time to sustain the result for long period of time.
