Best Orthodontic Treatment in India



                                 

Orthodontics is a specialist branch of dentistry that is concerned with the development and management of irregularities and abnormalities in the teeth and jaws. If you have crooked teeth and/or a misaligned bite, there are a variety of treatments that can help straighten your teeth, including braces and retainers. If the patient decides to proceed with treatment, an appointment with orthodontists is needed to collect records.  The record includes the following

Ø Impressions from which plaster models of the teeth are constructed.
Ø  X-rays of the teeth and jaws.
Ø  Photographs of the teeth and face.

Records allow the orthodontist to analyze each case accurately. They are also used to record the existing malocclusion for future reference. In some cases, a removable retainer will be all that's necessary. In other rare cases especially when there is an extreme overbite or underbite, surgery may be necessary. In most cases, however, braces will be needed.

Generally, there are three types of braces that are

1) Brackets: Made of stainless steel or tooth-colored ceramic or plastic, brackets are bonded to the front of each tooth. Ceramic orplastic brackets are often selected for cosmetic reasons. Plastic brackets may become stained and discolored by the end of treatment. Another disadvantage of ceramic or plastic brackets is that they cause more friction between the wire and brackets, which can increase treatment time.

2) Traditional bands: These are the generally outdated "full metal-mouth" look, which consists of the use of metal brackets soldered to metal bands that wrap around each tooth.

3) Lingual-type brackets: These are brackets that attach to the back of teeth, hiding the bracket from view.


Advantages of braces:

  • Straighten teeth
  • Correct an irregular bite
  • Close unsightly gaps
  • Bring teeth and lips into proper alignment
  • Better appearance of teeth, smile and face 
  • Improved self-esteem, confidence, well-being and feeling of acceptance 
  • A more even bite 
  • Reduce risk of injury to protruding front teeth 
  • Improve dental growth in a positive manner
  • Correct harmful habits 
  • Better jaw alignment, proportion and function 
  • In young children, orthodontic treatment also may guide proper jaw growth and permanent tooth eruption.



Disadvantages of braces:
  • Discomfort and pain
  • Food can get stuck in the brackets.
  • Keeping good oral hygiene can be more difficult especially flossing.
  • You cannot eat certain foods such as hard candy, tough meats, etc.
  • Your teeth may become stained in certain cases from the bracket
  • Your lips may get cut up.
  • Your physical appearance will be different.
  • You will have to go to your orthodontist usually once a month for adjustments which can lead to a couple day of minor discomfort. There is pain associated with the adjustments.

Most of these braces disadvantages are not enough for people to warrant not getting their teeth straightened.  Dental braces are a great form of self improvement and help build confidence.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction India


Wisdom teeth are one of four rearmost molars on each side of the upper and lower jaw in humans. Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt, typically in early adulthood. Wisdom tooth extraction is a surgical procedure to remove one or more wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth are the four permanent adult teeth located at the back corners of your mouth on the top and bottom. These teeth are considered as the hardest ones. Wisdom tooth extraction is usually performed when a tooth doesn't have room to and the impacted tooth results in pain, infection or other dental problems. Wisdom tooth extraction may be done by a dentist in the dentist's office.  You may have the surgery in the hospital, especially if you are having all your wisdom teeth pulled at one time or if you are at high risk for complications. If you have any infections, surgery will usually be delayed until the infection has cleared up. The dentist may have you take antibiotics to help heal the infection.

The main symptoms that lead to wisdom teeth extraction are:
1. Infection in the mouth
2. Facial swelling
3. Pain
4. Swelling of the gum line in the back of the mouth

Early removal of wisdom tooth can prevent problems. You can avoid the pain and possible damaging effects of an impacted wisdom tooth by having it removed early, before its roots are fully developed. The dentist can monitor the development of your wisdom teeth with x-rays and remove them if it has any problems.
After the surgery of wisdom tooth removal we follow some instructions that is post operation care that are Do Not Smoke for 12 Hours, Do Not Disturb the Wound, Do Not Suck Through a Straw, Control of Bleeding, Control of Swelling, Medication for Pain Control, Diet and Nutrition.

Affordable Dental Implants in India



A dental implant is a "root" device, usually made of titanium, used in dentistry to support restorations that resemble a tooth or group of teeth to replace missing teeth. It can be used to support a number of dental prostheses, including crowns, implant-supported bridges or dentures. They can also be used as anchorage for orthodontic tooth movement. The use of dental implants permits unidirectional tooth movement without reciprocal action. 

Dental implants are made of a variety of materials, such as titanium, aluminium oxide and surgical stainless steel. The devices are firmly attached to the jaw bone through surgery and implant posts provide a comfortable, stable support on which artificial teeth can be secured. 


There are two types of implants:

1) An endosteal implant is placed directly into the bone, like natural tooth roots and can be used for many purposes. A single pin can be inserted through an existing tooth to strengthen and stabilize it. Other styles can provide an anchor for one or more artificial teeth. 
2) A subperiosteal  implant consist of a metal frame that is fitted onto the jawbone just below the gum tissue. As the gums heal, the frame becomes fixed to the jawbone. Posts, which are attached to the frame, protrude through the gums. As with Endothelial implants, artificial teeth are then mounted to the posts.

Dental treatment at Thangam's Dental Clinic, India is inexpensive as compared to USA,UK, Canada, Australia etc. It is situated in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, which is considered as the Medical Tourism capital of India.

Dental Implants India



                                          

Dental Implantology is a set of surgical techniques aiming at the functional rehabilitation of a patient affected by total or partial edentulism, by using dental implants, i.e. metal elements surgically inserted in the mandibular or maxillary bone, or above them but under the gum. These elements are fitted with connectors to fasten them to fixed or removable prostheses, to enable chewing functionality. Such implants can have different shapes; they can be inserted in different positions, with different techniques, and then connected to prostheses at different times.

Currently, implants are almost all made of titanium. Dental implants are man-made tiny titanium posts. They are inserted in the jawbone where teeth are missing. These metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes and are surgically placed into the jawbone.
Dental implant surgery is generally carried out under local anesthesia. This means that your mouth will be numb but you will stay awake.

Benefits of dental implant:

1. Unlike dental bridge, implants do not require the grinding of adjacent teeth for support.
2. Implant restores the ability to chew properly, thus allowing a healthy and complete diet.
3. Enables you to speak properly.
4. Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth.
5. Many patients report that implants, despite the initial costs are more comfortable in long term than other conventional techniques and are considered the best option for replacement of teeth.

In India the dental implant cost in India starts around $500 which is very cheap compared to other countries like US and UK where implants cost is around $1200.

Root Canal Treatment India



A root canal is a capillary, which runs from the base of the root of the tooth to the middle of the crown (the visible part of the tooth). The root canal carries the pulp (a network of blood and nerve cells), which brings the tooth to life.
                                The nerve of the tooth gets damaged due to many reasons. One of the main causes is cavity in the tooth that grows deeper and touches the nerve. Since the cavity is filled with bacteria, the root canal gets inflamed and causes pain. Other reasons that may damage the teeth are accidental cracks or infection from gums reaching to the base of roots. In such cases, root canal treatments can easily stabilize the position.
The best way to avoid root canals is to take good daily care of your teeth to prevent the growth and spread of bacteria. Brushing and flossing are important.
The main symptoms of root canal are:
1.Severe toothache
2.Presence of tenderness in your gums near a tooth
3.Pain and swelling in your gums near a tooth
4.A tooth that is partially or completely darkened following a trauma.
           
Treatment:
                In this treatment, the affected tooth is wrapped in thin rubber (Called a 'rubber dam') to prevent contamination of the root canals. The decayed portions of the tooth and any affected filling are removed. The pulp or pulp remnants are extracted. The dentist uses a special drill and small instruments to thoroughly clean and shape the root canals and to remove bacteria, pus and debris. The root canals may need to be shaped or hollowed out to ensure a smooth interior surface. The interior of the tooth is flushed with disinfectants and then dried. If the root canal is not infection free, it may be medicated and the tooth sealed with a temporary filling material.
                The root canal cost in India starts around $100 which is very cheap compared to other countries like US and UK where the price starts from $500.So you can save up to 70% percent of your money.
In India there are many well known dental clinics for root canal treatment. India has also got many world famous dentists for dentistry.

Dental Fillings Treatment India


Dental Fillings or Dental Restoration are a common and widely used treatment in modern dentistry. Dental fillings are typically made of dental amalgam, a metallic compound containing mercury that has been used for fillings for many decades. Fillings made of this amalgam are of a metallic hue and can give a grey tinge to the tooth.
i.e., Dental fillings are among the most common dental procedures and include fillings, inlays and onlays, veneers, implants, crowns, bridges, and dentures. They are used to restore damaged, decayed or missing teeth. They can also relieve associated dental pain. They can frequently save teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted.
Tooth Preparation for Dental Fillings
Dental restorations can be divided into two broad types:
*) Direct restorations: This technique involves placing a soft or malleable filling into the prepared tooth and building up the tooth before the material sets hard.
 *) Indirect restorations: This technique of fabricating the restoration outside of the mouth using the dental impressions of the prepared tooth.
All dental restorations can be further classified by their location and size. A root canal filling is a restorative technique used to fill the space where the dental pulp normally resides.
                The process of preparation usually involves cutting the tooth with special dental burrs, to make space for the planned restorative materials, and to remove any dental decay or portions of the tooth that are structurally unsound. If permanent restoration can not be carried out immediately after tooth preparation, temporary restoration may be performed.
The prepared tooth, ready for placement of restorative materials, is generally called a tooth preparation. Materials used may be gold, amalgam, dental composites, resin-reinforced glass ionomers, porcelain or any number of other materials.
In India the cost for Dental Fillings starts around $250 which is very cheap compared to other countries like US and UK where the price starts around $850.
