At Dental Strings, we believe that a straight smile is the gateway to long-term oral health. While we offer modern clear aligners, Traditional Orthodontics (Braces) remain the gold standard for correcting complex bite issues, severe overcrowding, and jaw misalignment. Our orthodontic team in Borivali West uses the latest techniques to ensure your treatment is efficient, comfortable, and effective.
Orthodontic treatment is not just about aesthetics. Correcting the alignment of your teeth and jaw provides significant health benefits:
Improved Hygiene: Straight teeth are easier to brush and floss, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease.
Better Function: Correcting your bite (occlusion) improves chewing efficiency and speech.
Jaw Relief: Aligns the jaw joints to prevent strain, clicking, or TMJ pain.
1. Traditional Metal Braces These are the most common and widely used type of braces.
Design: Made of high-grade stainless steel, utilizing metal brackets and archwires to move teeth.
Best For: Treating severe overcrowding and complex bite problems.
Modern Twist: Today’s metal braces are smaller, flatter, and more comfortable than those of the past. Kids and teens often enjoy customizing them with colored bands.
2. Ceramic (Clear) Braces Designed for patients who want the effectiveness of braces without the “metal mouth” look.
Design: The brackets are made of a translucent ceramic material that blends with the natural color of your teeth.
Aesthetics: They are far less visible than metal braces, making them a popular choice for adults and older teenagers.
Stain Resistant: High-quality ceramic brackets resist staining, keeping your smile looking clean throughout treatment.
3. Self-Ligating Braces An advanced system that eliminates the need for the elastic rubber bands used in traditional braces.
Technology: These brackets have a specialized “door” mechanism that holds the wire in place.
Benefits: This creates less friction, allowing teeth to move more freely and often resulting in shorter treatment times and fewer clinic visits.
Consultation: We perform a comprehensive exam using digital X-rays to assess your bite and jaw structure.
Bonding: The braces are carefully bonded to your teeth in a single, painless appointment.
Adjustments: You will visit us periodically (usually every 4-6 weeks) for adjustments to guide your teeth into their new positions.
Retention: Once the braces are removed, we provide custom retainers to ensure your beautiful new smile stays in place forever.
The goal of our clinic is to provide friendly, caring dentistry and the highest level of general, cosmetic, and specialist dental treatments.
