Details of orthodontic treatments at Life Care Dental Clinic Panchkula
We are committed to delivering the highest quality orthodontic care to our patients at Life Care in Panchkula and the surrounding regions. Our experienced team of orthodontists and dental professionals provides numerous treatments aimed at enhancing dental health and creating beautiful, confident smiles. Some of these treatments include:
1. Traditional Braces
A popular, durable, and cost-effective orthodontic treatment for straightening teeth, traditional braces are made from stainless steel. These metal brackets are affixed to each tooth and connected by a thin arch wire. Over time, the orthodontist periodically tightens the wire to gradually shift the teeth into their proper alignment.
2. Ceramic Braces
These work much like metal braces but are less noticeable, offering the same level of effectiveness in aligning teeth. The brackets are made from a translucent ceramic material that blends with the natural color of your teeth, making them more discreet. But they are more delicate and may require extra care.
3. Clear Aligners
These nearly invisible are custom-made, removable tray like, that are made of transparent plastic which helps in shifting your teeth gradually into place. Clear aligners do not require brackets or wires and can be conveniently removed for eating, brushing, and flossing.
4. Lingual Braces
Offering same effectiveness as the traditional braces these are custom-made to fit along the inner surfaces of the teeth. Though they require more maintenance and care, they’re different as these are completely hidden from view when you smile.
5. Palatal expander
Used to create space for proper teeth alignment for individuals who have crowded teeth or narrow jaw, this is used in treatments which require more space to be created for better teeth alignment procedures.
6. Retainers
Retainers are crucial for keeping teeth in their new position after orthodontic or braces treatment. There are two types: fixed and removable. Fixed retainers are bonded to the back of the teeth, while removable retainers can be worn primarily at night.

FAQs
1. At what age should I consider orthodontic treatment?
Orthodontic treatment can be done at any age. However, early intervention during childhood or adolescence (usually between the ages of 7 and 14) is ideal for guiding jaw growth and correcting alignment issues. Adults can also benefit greatly from orthodontic treatment to improve the appearance and function of their teeth.
2. Are braces painful?
Braces may cause mild discomfort or soreness, especially after the initial fitting or adjustments. This discomfort typically lasts a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. The discomfort is usually a sign that the braces are working to move your teeth.
3. How often do I need to visit the orthodontist during treatment?
Most patients need to visit their orthodontist every 4 to 8 weeks for adjustments and progress checks. However, the frequency of visits can vary based on the type of treatment and individual needs.
4. Are there foods I should avoid during orthodontic treatment?
Yes, certain foods can damage your braces or interfere with your treatment. Avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods like popcorn, hard candy, gum, and nuts. Additionally, biting into foods like apples or corn on the cob should be avoided; instead, cut them into small pieces before eating.
5. How do I know if I need orthodontic treatment?
You may need orthodontic treatment if you have crooked, crowded, or spaced teeth, jaw misalignment, or bite problems. Your dentist or orthodontist can evaluate your teeth and bite to determine whether orthodontic treatment is necessary.
