Braces are not awkward, on the contrary, they are trendy
Are you worried that you will not have friends or you will feel embarrassed when you wear braces? This short inconvenient period can help you have a bright smile when it will matter. People who wear braces are courageous and trendy, because they are brave enough to show that health and a perfect and nice appearance are important for them.
Moreover, neatness can be sexy, if you feel confident about wearing braces.
Why is orthodontic treatment important?
You cannot comb your teeth
It might be hard to believe, but few teenagers have perfect teeth, so do not worry, you are not alone with your problem. When you take a better look at your friends, you will see that they do not have perfectly straight teeth. The explanation is simple: teeth do not grow evenly.
Your teeth may be misaligned or crowded, or your upper and lower jaw are not the same size. Dentists call it irregular bite.
Your dentist will recognize these problems and recommend orthodontic treatment to guarantee your future success.
More arguments in favour of braces
Although many people wear metal braces, you do not need to wear one. There are more alternatives than you would think. You can have aesthetic, tooth coloured braces to move your teeth to their proper position almost unnoticed. Or if you are courageous, and why not be courageous, you can have the colours of your favourite team on your teeth.
What else can we offer you? There are braces that are placed on the back of your teeth. They are called lingual braces and they are completely invisible.
Finally, due to the advance of modern technology and orthodontic appliances, we can achieve the desired changes more quickly.
How do braces work?
Braces are quite simple devices. They straighten your teeth by exerting pressure on certain points. Most teenagers can have simple braces to straighten misaligned teeth. They consist of a wire and rubber bands. The wire pulls your teeth to their proper position, the bands align them.
You may face some inconveniences, though. Your dentists at Fehér Dent Aesthetic Dental Clinic will tell you how long you should wear the braces (day and night for two years, or it might be enough to wear them at night and only for half a year).
Tips for people with braces
If it comes to food, the saying is definitely true for braces: it attracts food as honey attracts bees. Brush your braces after eating and be careful about the foods you eat. There are foods that stick to the braces. Your dentist can help you what types of food to avoid. For example, chewing gum. This is something you should not use when you have braces.
As any new thing, braces might feel strange in the beginning. If you feel pain, you can take a painkiller, but first ask your dentist and your parents.
What is left is to believe that all you will have after the treatment is your brand new attractive smile. Dentists at Fehér Dent Aesthetic Dental clinic can help you achieve this.
