Ortho Dontia

The crooked teeth are corrected by either fixed appliance or removable appliance depending on case. Various types of fixed and removable appliances are available. The option is given according to case. Generally the treatment is carried out at around 12 years of age but it can be carried out at any age even an adult can go for it or a child below 12 years can also go for preventive or interceptive orthodontics to prevent future crooked teeth.

Least Invisible Appliances

Since the introduction of the Tooth Positioner (TP Orthodontics) in 1944, removable appliances analogous to clear aligners have been employed for mild to moderate orthodontic tooth movements. Clear aligner therapy has been a part of orthodontic practice for decades, but has, particularly since the introduction of Invisalign appliances (Align Technology) in 1998, become an increasingly common addition to the orthodontic armamentarium. An internet search reveals at least 27 different clear aligner products currently on offer for orthodontic treatment. The present paper will highlight the increasing popularity of clear aligner appliances, as well as the clinical scope and the limitations of aligner therapy in general. Further, the paper will outline the differences between the various types of clear aligner products currently available.
