ORTHODONTICS WITH BRACERS

At The Smile Gallery, located near The Hague, you can also get a fixed brace. This involves attaching small appliances, often called “brackets”, to the front of the teeth. These are then connected by wires and elastic ligatures.

These brackets serve as anchors for the wires, which gradually apply gentle pressure to the teeth and move them to the desired position. During treatment, regular adjustments are made to monitor and guide the position of the teeth.

It is important to realize that the duration of treatment can vary per person. During this period, the dentists instructions for orthodontics should be followed, and the patient should maintain good oral hygiene and attend regular check-ups.

Wearing a brace may take some getting used to in the beginning, but at the end of the process a wonderful result awaits.

Frequently asked questions about orthodontics in The Hague

Orthodontic treatment is a dental specialty that focuses on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws to improve oral health and aesthetics. It involves using braces, aligners, or other appliances to straighten teeth and create a balanced bite.

Aligners are removable transparent plastic trays that help straighten teeth. They work by using a series of custom-made, clear plastic trays that are worn over the teeth. Each tray is slightly different and gradually moves the teeth into the desired alignment.

Braces are orthodontic devices consisting of brackets, wires, and bands that are attached to the teeth to gradually move them into proper alignment. They work by applying continuous pressure on teeth, causing them to move slowly over time. The wires and brackets are adjusted periodically by the dentist for orthodontics to guide teeth into their desired positions.
