Metal Braces:

Dentists use metal braces to straighten and repair crooked teeth and crowding. The most frequent dental equipment used to address dental issues is traditional metal braces. Metal braces are the most affordable form of orthodontic correction device, making them a better alternative for most patients than transparent braces. They are also more successful than other forms of braces in realigning teeth and correcting bite abnormalities, particularly gaps, faster than other types of braces.

Disease Overview:

Tooth Alignment

Teeth straightening is the procedure of utilising external force and pressure to align and move teeth into the proper position according to a person's bite over time. Simply said, if you have crooked, misaligned, or misplaced teeth, they may be straightened up.

When your teeth are misaligned, it is called malocclusion. If left untreated, this might lead to oral health issues. It's also known by the following terms:

teeth that are crowded, open bite crossbite overbite underbite. If your teeth are misaligned, they may struggle to perform essential jobs like chewing. To safeguard your general dental and digestive health, learn more about this illness and how it may be treated.

Disease Signs and Symptoms:

Malocclusion symptoms can range from mild to severe, depending on how the illness is classified. Typical malocclusion symptoms include:

inappropriate tooth alignment facial changes, such as the development of a lisp frequent biting of your inner cheeks or tongue discomfort when chewing or biting speech changes, such as the formation of a lisp breathing through your mouth instead of your nose

Disease Diagnosis:

Teeth malocclusion is usually detected during normal dental checkups. To establish if your teeth are correctly aligned, your dentist will inspect them and maybe take dental X-rays.

If your dentist notices a malocclusion, they will classify it according to the kind and severity of the problem. Malocclusion is divided into three categories:

When your upper molars overlap with your lower molars in a favourable position, but your other teeth are crowded or spaced too widely apart, you have a Class 1 malocclusion.

The bite is normal, and the misalignment of your teeth is not severe in this form of malocclusion. The most prevalent kind of malocclusion is Class 1 malocclusion.

2nd class

When you have a significant overbite, you have a Class 2 malocclusion. Your upper teeth and jaw overlap extensively with your lower teeth and jaw in this form of malocclusion.

Retrognathism occurs when a class 2 malocclusion occurs when the lower jaw is smaller than normal (or retrognathia).

Class 3

When you have a significant underbite, you have a Class 3 malocclusion. Your lower teeth overlap your upper teeth in this form of malocclusion.

Prognathism is a condition in which your lower jaw protrudes forward, which is generally caused by a big lower jaw.
