Appareils Dentaires

Quels sont les differents types d'appareils dentaires ?

The most common used braces are the metallic ones. For patients seeking a more esthetics approach, they can choose among three other types of treatments. First, there is the ceramic braces, which look like the metallic ones in shape but are white in color. Second, are the “hidden” braces also known as the lingual braces. They are attached from the inside part of the teeth. And last but not least, there is the Aligners or the “No braces” treatment, which are trays that you can remove whenever you want.

Bagues linguales ou bagues invisibles !

Lingual orthodontic treatment is an alternative to traditional treatment, designed to satisfy patients who wish to have their teeth aligned but do not want the labial brackets that shows when they talk or smile. Lingual braces are custom made fixed braces bonded to the back of the teeth making them invisible to other people. Don’t confuse them with so-called “ceramic” braces, which are merely semi-transparent ceramic attached to the front of the teeth.

Comment les appareils dentaires sont-ils poses ?

Notre orthodontiste collera les brackets a vos dents de l'exterieur ou de l'interieur selon chaque cas. Ensuite, il placera un fil metallique qui exercera une pression sur les dents afin de les deplacer dans la position desiree. Vous devrez venir toutes les 3 a 6 semaines pour des ajustements et la duree moyenne d'un traitement orthodontique complet est d'environ deux ans.

Apres avoir termine votre traitement, vous devrez porter un appareil de contention pour vous assurer que vos dents ne bougeront plus.
