Patients of all ages visit orthodontists. Nowadays, especially, more and more people are opting to straighten their teeth later in life. A license is needed for a professional to provide this service, and it will only be given to those who have finished and been accepted by an approved dental school. The process includes passing both written and practical examinations. We call these professionals orthodontists.

Smile Makeover: A Comprehensive Guide to the Types of Orthodontic Treatments
Correcting crooked or misaligned teeth through orthodontic therapy enhances both the function and appearance of the mouth. For patients of all ages, from children to adults, orthodontic treatment can be advantageous. A patient's needs and the severity of their tooth problem will determine which sort of orthodontic treatment they receive. There are various orthodontic procedures available. A few of the most typical forms of orthodontic care are listed below:
Tumblr media
Traditional Metal Braces
The most popular orthodontic procedure is metal braces. They are constructed of teeth-attached metal brackets and wires that are modified over time to gently move teeth into the desired position. Even the most serious dental issues can be successfully treated by them.
Ceramic Braces
While ceramic braces function similarly to metal braces, its ceramic brackets are either transparent or tooth-colored. They are therefore less obvious than metal braces. Patients who are worried about how metal braces would look might consider ceramic braces.
Lingual Braces
Traditional metal braces are comparable to lingual braces, however lingual braces are positioned on the back of the teeth rather than the front. This practically imperceptible quality can make them more challenging to clean and maintain.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a type of orthodontic treatment that uses clear plastic aligners to shift teeth into the desired position. The aligners are custom-made for each patient and are worn for a period of time before being replaced with the next set of aligners. Invisalign is a good option for patients who want a more discreet treatment option.
Self-Ligating Braces
Self-ligating braces are a type of orthodontic treatment that uses brackets and wires to gradually straighten misaligned teeth. However, unlike traditional braces, self-ligating braces use a unique clip mechanism to hold the wire in place, eliminating the need for elastic bands.
There are two types of self-ligating braces: passive and active. Passive self-ligating braces use a low friction system that allows the wire to move freely through the bracket. Active self-ligating braces, on the other hand, use a sliding mechanism that applies gentle pressure to the teeth.
Headgear
Headgear orthodontic treatment is a type of orthodontic treatment that is used to correct a range of dental issues. It is typically used in children and adolescents and involves the use of a special device that attaches to the braces and applies pressure to the teeth and jaw.
The headgear device consists of a wire framework that fits around the head and attaches to the braces using rubber bands or hooks. The pressure exerted by the headgear helps to correct the position of the teeth and jaw, and can be used to treat a variety of dental issues, including overbite, underbite, and crossbite.
Headgear is typically worn for a specified period each day, often during sleep or for a few hours after school. The length of time the headgear is worn each day depends on the individual patient's needs, and can vary from a few hours to up to 12 hours per day.
Palatal expanders
In order to open up the top jaw and provide more space for teeth, palatal expanders are a type of orthodontic device. When a kid or adolescent's upper jaw is too small to accommodate all of their teeth, it can cause crowding and other dental problems due to overcrowding.
Palatal expanders work by applying gentle pressure to the upper jaw, gradually widening it over a period of weeks or months. The appliance consists of a small metal framework that fits over the roof of the mouth, with screws that can be adjusted by the orthodontist to control the amount and direction of the pressure.
Depending on the requirements of each patient, palatal expanders are often worn for a number of months. Patients could feel some slight pressure or discomfort at this time as the appliance gradually opens the upper jaw.
Orthodontic surgery
Orthognathic surgery, commonly referred to as orthodontic surgery, is a type of dental surgery used to address severe tooth and jaw irregularities that cannot be treated with just ordinary orthodontic therapy. This procedure can significantly enhance the function and aesthetics of the teeth and jaw in addition to improving general dental health.
Orthognathic surgery, often known as orthodontic surgery, is a type of dental surgery used to address severe tooth and jaw abnormalities that cannot be treated by conventional orthodontic treatment alone. This procedure has the potential to significantly enhance the function and aesthetics of the teeth and jaw as well as the general state of oral health.
Retainers After braces or other orthodontic treatment, retainers are one form of orthodontic appliance that is used to keep teeth in their proper positions. Following treatment, they are normally worn for a while to keep teeth from sliding back to their previous locations.
Removable and fixed retainers are the two basic categories. Typically constructed of transparent plastic, removable retainers fit over the teeth like a mouthguard. They can be taken off for eating, brushing, and flossing, but to be effective, they must be worn continuously. The patient cannot remove fixed retainers since they are made of a thin wire that is bonded to the teeth's root surfaces. According to the requirements of each patient, retainers are normally worn for a period of time ranging from several months to a year. Patients might feel some slight tightness or discomfort during this time as the teeth adjust to their new locations.

still thinking about my last orthodontist appointment. so, i have pretty bad problems managing to brush my teeth every day. this includes rubber bands. while i’ve been doing better with brushing, i’ve progressed to not wearing my rubber bands at all. this is… a problem. i could try to do better with them on my own, but i they hurt and i hate wearing them and even when i remember i should be wearing them the whole prospect is so unpleasant that i just. dont.
now, what does a mentally ill teenager learning to advocate for themself do in this situation? could they possibly tell their orthodontist how much they struggle with this, and ask politely for a solution not involving rubber bands? why, of fucking course not! what a silly question, foolish teenager who clearly is just not trying hard enough! let’s walk back into their room and ask them if they want headgear!! ahahahahahah so funny, foolish teenager! you don’t want headgear, that would look weird! now, off you go, just do better next time!! /end angry sarcasm
fuck you guys. you couldn’t just explain nicely why rubber bands are really the only option. you couldn’t just try to meet me where i’m at. no, you had to laugh at me. fuck you. plus, people who do wear headgear are not the butt of your damn joke.
okay vent over. maybe im just sensitive idk. doesnt mean i have to like it though.
