Accelerated Orthodontics: An Overview
of Procedures
Through accelerated
orthodontics a patient will wear braces for a period
of only four to eight months in most instances. This
represents a shorter course of treatment than normally
is associated with teeth straightening through the use
of dental appliances.
The specific dental
appliance that is utilized when it comes to accelerated
orthodontics is what is known as Damon Brackets. Damon
Brackets are designed to allow the acceleration of orthodontic
treatments. This occurs because of the ability of the
wire running between the brace brackets to slide back
and forth.
In advance of the
actual installation of dental appliances into your mouth
for the accelerated orthodontics process you most likely
will have to undergo periodontal surgery. You may need
this type of surgery to make room within your mouth,
in your bite range, to allow for the installation of
the Damon Brackets or similar appliances that will be
utilized in the accelerated orthodontics process
Periodontal surgery
is no small affair. Indeed, you will need to engage
the services of an experienced and qualified periodontal
surgeon to provide you with this particular element
of the overall accelerated orthodontics program or regimen. |
