Teeth form an important part of your appearance. Gleaming and straight teeth provide you with more self-confidence and a nice smile. Our orthodontist focus on the correction of teeth that are too far forward or crooked. They can also make corrections when there\u2019s not enough room in the jaw, or if the teeth and molars don\u2019t fit well together, braces can be a good solution for such problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why braces?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A lot of people opt for braces as they would like to have a nice smile with even and straight teeth. However, for health reasons, it can also be important to use braces. A jaw with straight teeth ensures that you can bite well, chew, speak and smile. Some teeth positions can lead to damage of the gums, asymmetry in the face and deformed jaws. It can also be necessary for your health and in some cases important to wear braces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Placing of braces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There are different kinds of aberrations which require specific braces. Each type of braces is placed differently. Below is an overview of the different kinds of braces:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Invisible braces (Invisalign)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Metal braces<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Twin-block braces<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Plate braces (it\u2019s against the palate)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
headgear braces<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The most common form of braces are metal ones. Placed on the front of teeth and molars these are the type that most people associate with braces. Metal braces are a combination of brackets, archwires and ligature elastics. The brackets are attached to the teeth using a special glue. A thin metal wire called archwire is used to connect each bracket and ensure that each tooth or molar is guided correctly in place. Ligature elastics hold the archwire to the brackets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Check ups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
After the placing of your braces, you will need to attend a check-up roughly once a month with a dentist for orthodontics in Amsterdam. The purpose of the check-ups is to replace worn-out elastics, check on your teeth\u2019s progress, and to adjust the wires attached to the brackets to make sure that your teeth are being pulled in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Retention Phase<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Once the dentist for Orthodontics decides that the treatment is complete, your braces will be removed. After that, the retention phase begins. It\u2019s possible that your teeth might still move after the braces treatment. To ensure that the results achieved remain, we place a retention brace. This prevents your teeth from returning to the position they were in prior to the treatment. Retention braces come in numerous sorts and sizes. There are both fixed and removable retention braces. The dentist for orthodontics will decide which retention braces are necessary for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
