Orthodontics – Braces

Orthodontics - Nha Khoa Home

What is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics, commonly known as braces, is a specialized field of dentistry focusing on correcting misalignments of the teeth and jaw. This includes issues like overcrowding, overbite, underbite, crossbite, tilted teeth, or teeth growing in the wrong direction.
Through orthodontic techniques, dentists use braces or other appliances to apply controlled forces, gradually shifting the teeth into the desired position. This process involves slight loosening of the teeth and remodeling of the surrounding bone as new bone forms to stabilize the teeth in their new positions.

Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment

According to Dr. Nguyen Anh Ngoc, Master’s degree holder and clinical director at Nha Khoa Home, orthodontics offers numerous advantages:

  • Enhanced Aesthetics: Corrects a wide range of issues like gapped teeth, overbite, underbite, or crowded teeth, resulting in an ideal and confident smile.
  • Improved Chewing Function: Misaligned teeth or jaws can make chewing difficult and lead to issues like joint pain or uneven wear on teeth. Braces help prevent these complications.
  • Reduced Jaw Strain: Overjet (teeth projecting too far forward) or deep bites can harm the jaw structure, making chewing difficult and potentially damaging the bone and teeth.
  • Safe and Effective: Orthodontic treatment is one of the safest dental procedures. When performed by a qualified professional, it does not harm the teeth or jaw structure and ensures a comfortable experience.
  • Healthier Teeth and Gums: Well-aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing plaque buildup and preventing common issues like cavities, gum disease, and tooth decay.

Common Cases Requiring Early Orthodontic Treatment

  • Overcrowded or misaligned teeth
  • Crooked or tilted teeth
  • Bite issues (overbite, underbite, crossbite)
  • Gaps between teeth or missing teeth

Modern Orthodontic Techniques

1. Fixed Braces

Fixed braces involve attaching brackets and wires to the teeth to gradually move them into place. They are a permanent fixture throughout the treatment duration and removed once the desired alignment is achieved.

Metal Braces:

The most traditional and cost-effective option, suitable for most cases. Metal brackets are fixed to the teeth and connected by wires and elastic bands to apply continuous pressure.

Ceramic Braces

Made from clear or tooth-colored materials, ceramic braces are less noticeable and more aesthetic. However, they are more delicate and may not suit highly active individuals.

Self-Ligating Braces

These modern braces use sliding clips instead of elastic bands to hold the wire, reducing friction and treatment time while requiring fewer adjustments.

Removable Aligners – Invisalign

Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic method that uses custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gradually straighten teeth.

Benefits of Invisalign:
Virtually invisible, offering high aesthetic value. Easily removable for eating and cleaning. Comfortable and less likely to irritate gums and cheeks. Suitable for mild to moderate misalignment issues.

Invisalign Treatment Process: Dental assessment and treatment planning. Dental impressions are sent to the Invisalign lab in the U.S. for manufacturing custom aligners.

Patients receive a series of aligners, typically 20–45 sets, depending on the complexity of their case.
