Resolve to Give Yourself A Better Smile with Braces This New Year



Littleton orthodontics


Crooked, misaligned teeth can cause a lot of suffering – not necessarily in the physical sense, causing pain or discomfort, but emotionally, by diminishing self-esteem. However, the advancement of orthodontic methods has made realignment available not only for teenagers, but for adults as well and the solutions that used to be out-of-reach expensive are available with financing options and payment plans, so you can include getting braces among your New Year resolutions this year.
The process of getting braces starts with a visit to a reputable Littleton orthodontics physician. The doctor examines the patient’s teeth, completes any kind of corrections and treatments necessary to restore the health of the teeth, such as fillings, then takes a mold of the patient’s teeth and has the braces made by a dental technician. There are various options when it comes to the material the braces are made form – some solutions, such as metal and ceramic braces are more visible, while others, such as ceramic braces and Invisalign are less conspicuous. Realignment solutions are also different in terms of the costs involved, with metal braces being the cheapest and Invisalign the most expensive option, but most Littleton orthodontists offer various payment configurations to make payment for the braces les of a financial burden.

Having a beautiful smile, with perfectly aligned, pearly white teeth is definitely a confidence booster, while having crooked and misaligned teeth is for many an issue that causes loss of confidence and self-esteem issues.

Fortunately, conventional braces that use metal brackets and wires on the visible side of the teeth are not the only solutions available today. Ceramic braces use brackets of the color of the teeth, lingual br...

Signs You May Need Both Top and Bottom Braces

While the orthodontic solutions that use only one set of braces, either on the top or on the bottom arch are the best option in some cases, most patients need to see an orthodontist Littleton specialist for braces for both arches. Here are a few signs that indicate you also need two braces: -         Crooked teeth on both arches – any misalignment present on both the top and the bottom arch requires braces worn simultaneously; -         Jaw pain and generalised mouth pain – these symptoms can usually be corrected with braces applied on both arches at the same time; -         Too much space between teeth on the top arch and on the bottom arch as well – excessive distance between the teeth on only one of the arches can be corrected with a realignment tool mounted only on the affected arch, but if the problem affects both arches, there is no other solution, but to install ...

We all want perfect or almost perfect teeth and a bright, beautiful and straight smile, but dental realignment is known to be not only lengthy, but costly as well. However, you don’t have to go bankrupt to get that charming smile – here are some ways to make the process affordable:  -         Choose the right type of braces – most orthodontists work with at least or four different types of solutions, each for a different price. Metal braces are the most conventional and most affordable, with visible metal wires and brackets attached to the front of the teeth; ceramic braces are the next in line in terms of pricing, with brackets of the color of the tooth and wires less conspicuous, while lingual aligners are installed on the back of the teeth and they are almost completely invisible, but more expensive than ceramic braces; -         Ask for a payment plan – many professional orthodontist Littleton...
