At Lifecare, we are dedicated to providing the highest standard of orthodontic care to our patients in Chandigarh and surrounding areas. Our team of skilled orthodontists and dental staff offer a comprehensive range of treatments designed to create beautiful smiles and improve dental health.
1. Traditional Metal Braces:
Traditional braces are durable, cost-effective, and one of the most common and widely used orthodontic treatments to straighten teeth. The traditional braces are made up of stainless steel or metal brackets that are attached to each tooth and connected by a thin archwire. The wire is periodically used to tighten by the orthodontist in order to gradually move the teeth into their correct positions over time.
2. Ceramic Braces:
Ceramic braces function similarly to metal braces but they are less noticeable while providing the same effectiveness in teeth alignment. In ceramic braces, the brackets are made from a translucent ceramic material that blends with the natural color of the teeth. However, they are more fragile and may require more care.
3. Clear Aligners:
Clear aligners are custom-made, removable, clear plastic trays that gently move your teeth into position without the need for brackets or wires. Aligners are virtually invisible and can be easily taken out for eating, brushing, and flossing.
4. Lingual Braces:
Lingual braces are also custom-made that fit inside the surfaces of the teeth, making them invisible from the outside when you smile. They are as effective as traditional braces but require more care.
5. Palatal Expanders:
Palatal expanders are used for those individuals who have a narrow jaw or crowded teeth. This expander is used to widen the palate or roof of the mouth to create space for teeth alignment.
6. Retainers:
Retainers are essential for maintaining the new position of teeth and are usually used after the completion of orthodontics or braces treatment. There are two types of retainers i.e. fixed and removable retainers. Fixed retainers are glued to the backside of teeth whereas removable ones can be worn at night.
