Malocclusion, commonly known as a “bad bite,” refers to the misalignment of teeth and jaws. It can cause various issues, including difficulty chewing, speaking, and maintaining oral hygiene. Braces are a common and effective orthodontic treatment option for correcting malocclusion.
Traditional metal braces are the most widely used type of braces. They consist of stainless steel brackets that are bonded to each tooth and connected by archwires. The orthodontist adjusts the archwires over over time to gradually move the teeth into their correct positions.
A smile design consultation is an initial meeting with a cosmetic dentist to discuss your aesthetic goals and create a personalized treatment plan for achieving a beautiful and confident smile. During this consultation, the dentist will assess your oral health, teeth alignment, facial features, and overall smile aesthetics.
If you are considering cosmetic dental treatment to enhance your smile, a smile design consultation is an essential first step. By working closely with an experienced cosmetic dentist, you can create a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your aesthetic goals and helps you achieve a smile that reflects your best self.
Temporary restorations, also known as provisional restorations, are used to temporarily protect and restore a tooth that has been damaged, treated, or prepared for a permanent restoration. They are typically made of less durable materials than permanent restorations and are designed to last for a limited period, usually a few weeks or months.
Temporary restorations play a crucial role in protecting and restoring teeth while permanent restorations are being prepared. With proper care, they can effectively maintain oral health and aesthetics for a limited time.
