Indications for Dental Implants
- Multiple missing teeth : Missing teeth causes decreased efficiency of chewing food which causes the patient to swallow large lumps of food which in turn impairs digestion of food and bad stomach.
- Gum disease : Gum disease causes bad breath, swollen gums, bleeding gums, receding gums and bone loss. The teeth become loose and shaky in the bone decreasing the chewing capability
- Improper bite : Improper bite is caused by excessive grinding of teeth, broken teeth, crooked teeth.

Orthodontic Braces Types
Orthodontic braces come in quite a few types and choosing your best fit is essential.
Traditional Metal Braces
These are probably the most common orthodontic braces one can see around. Very noticeable but sturdy, these braces have been used and tested successful. With the advent of modern bracket braces and heat activated arch wires, these have become smaller and are less visible than before, but work even better. These are the least expensive types of braces one can get.
Ceramic Braces
Same structure, feel and usage as the traditional braces, but these are tooth colored, making them unnoticeable at a glance. Ceramic braces also provide the added advantage of less resisting jaw mobility.
Lingual Braces
Similar to Metal and Ceramic braces, the difference is that these are placed on the inside of the teeth rather than the outside making them completely invisible. They are quite expensive and are often difficult to clean.
Invisalign
These are custom made for every patient and are like clean transparent covering for the teeth. You can wear them with ease and there are no food-restrictions while using these.

Procedure
- While getting the braces for the first time, one is always curious of what is to come in the way. Putting on braces is not at all scary as it may seem and often requires as little as 1-2 hours. The whole process begins with the cleaning of the teeth (mouth washing and teeth rinses), then it is dried. After a few minutes of drying, a super special glue is put on the teeth, which will remind you of cans of old adhesives but there is no need to worry because these are perfectly safe. Brackets are then placed and arch wires are put on them. The final step is securing the entire formation and you are good to go. Simple! On an average it will only take around 2 hours.
Age Groups
- Braces can best work when your teeth are still in a condition to grow and change according to the way the dentist wants it to, but in most cases effects can be seen at any age, though it takes time. The ideal age for getting the braces would still be around 11-16. At these ages, it becomes imperative for parents to talk to their children and making them realize the importance, because of any mishandling of the braces while attached can harm the entire teeth structure, making it more or less permanent, unless you shell out a fortune to get it right.
Removable partial dentures
Removable partial dentures use plastic teeth to replace missing teeth. These plastic teeth are fixed on an acrylic plate and clasps are placed in the plate to take support from adjacent teeth.
- Basic Procedure : In this technique impressions are taken and then bite record is done on second sitting, then a try in is done to check the prosthesis before final insertion
- Time Required : 3-5 days
Full mouth reconstruction involves various techniques to reconstruct the mouth which may involve aligning of teeth with invasiline, metal braces. Smile correction with veneers, crowns, bonding. Reconstruction of mutilated teeth with tooth colored fillings, inlays, onlays and crowns.

Endosteal Implants
Process comprising of surgically placing the implants directly into your jawbone.As soon as the gum tissues have healed upto a significant level further step of surgery that connects the post to the implant is done. Lastly an artificial tooth(teeth) is attached to the post individually or grouped on a bridge.
