Conventional orthodontic methods rely on the use of brackets attached to the teeth and a wire system that passes through the brackets to guide your teeth into proper alignment. Whether your smile is overcrowded or has severe tooth misalignment, traditional braces have proven to be highly effective in correcting these issues.
In today’s world, you have the option to select between metal and ceramic braces in Pune. You can opt for traditional metal braces or more aesthetically pleasing ceramic braces. Although both types function similarly, ceramic braces are designed to blend in more seamlessly with your natural smile, making them a more subtle option. Ultimately, the choice of which type of braces to use is determined by personal preference.
Metal or Ceramic braces that are considered traditional or conventional usually have a bracket holding an arch wire in its center, secured by an elastic band or wire ligature. This wire then applies pressure to move the tooth in the desired direction.
In contrast, Damon Braces have a special design where the ceramic brackets feature a “trap door.” This design allows the arch wire to be slipped underneath a small attachment, which is then clipped into the “smart clip” braces. Once the arch wire is fastened into the trap door, it can move freely. Damon Braces have both the variations metal as well as ceramic/clear
The unique trap door design is advantageous as the arch wire is not tied to each tooth individually. This results in reduced tension and friction, making the treatment more comfortable for adult patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. The arch wire is in a floating position, which allows for greater flexibility and decreased pressure
If you are considering metal, ceramic or damon braces in Pune, the process will start with a comprehensive consultation with our orthodontists. During this consultation, our experts will evaluate the alignment of your teeth, your bite, TMJ, and your smile and face profile to determine whether any correction is necessary. If correction is required, we will discuss with you the best type of braces for your specific needs.
Following the evaluation, we will take a series of impressions of your teeth and create a personalized treatment plan that outlines all the details. Whether you opt for traditional metal braces or ceramic braces, the duration of your treatment will be about the same, depending on the extent of your tooth alignment needs.
Typically, most cases are completed in 16-18 months. However, wearing your appliances as directed by our orthodontists will ensure a more efficient treatment experience.
Once we have established a proper treatment plan, our orthodontists will provide you with an estimate of the duration of your treatment and the associated cost. We will also explain the payment schedule for the proposed treatment in detail. Every smile is unique, and it is essential to receive treatment from an experienced orthodontist for the best treatment options that cater to your individual needs.
