Essential Tips for Healthy Teeth
Research by top global universities shows that over 50% of children aged 6 to 16 born in the last twenty years require orthodontic care for teeth alignment. The primary goals of orthodontic treatment are to enhance the appearance of the oral cavity, normalize chewing function, and maintain the achieved results. Today, various options such as plates, caps, and braces can improve smiles and address orthodontic issues. Types of braces include:
Metal Braces - These are the most common and affordable braces, both in Georgia and worldwide. They are fixed to the outer surface of the teeth, providing strength and reliability.
Ceramic Braces - These blend with the color of the teeth, making them less noticeable. Their main advantage is aesthetic appeal. Sapphire braces are made from artificially grown sapphires. It is completely safe for the human body, practically does not cause allergies, and most importantly, visually it is the least noticeable when smiling because the sapphire material is tough. In this blog, the "Blits Dental - Kakhaber Kharebava Dental Clinic" team offers tips for preparing for braces to make the process as comfortable as possible for you and your child.
If your child's teeth are crowded, or misaligned, or if their mouth symmetry is off, they need an experienced orthodontist. Options like lingual, self-ligating, or Damon braces can help. Since braces treatment can be lengthy and somewhat uncomfortable, many parents opt to start during the summer when children are on school break. This period is less stressful for kids, helping them adapt to the minor challenges of wearing braces.
Before scheduling a braces appointment, ensure your child's teeth and overall oral health are in good condition. Visit the dentist to address cavities and consider professional teeth cleaning. Healthy teeth during braces treatment reduce discomfort and prevent issues from untreated cavities. Cleaning also ensures a strong bond for the braces by removing plaque and tartar.
The time required to install braces varies depending on the specifics of your child's mouth and the complexity of the work. Typically, the procedure takes between 40 to 60 minutes.
Once braces are fitted, it’s important to adjust your daily oral care routine:
Brushing: Teeth must be brushed after every meal for at least 10 minutes. Use a single-fiber brush to clean around brackets and between teeth.
Diet-Avoid biting or chewing hard foods to prevent brace damage.
Chewing Gum: Do not give your child chewing gum.
