Dentists and orthodontists are very similar as they are in the profession of helping with dental health care. Both orthodontists and general dentists complete four years of dental school, after their bachelor’s degrees, and both are doctors of dentistry. This is why when a general dentist has a patient with dental malocclusion (“mal” = bad, “occlusion” = bite), they will refer them to a specialist which is the orthodontist. Best orthodontists are trained specialists who work to diagnosis and prevent malocclusions which are a condition of improper bites and can include crossbite, overbite and under bite.

Once the braces have been placed and wires have been tightened for first time, patients will be told to come back regularly for something called a braces adjustment appointment.

At the braces adjustment appointment, a handful of tasks will be handled. First, the colored ties that the patient selected will be removed. After this, the wires will be taken out. Patients will then be instructed to brush and floss to clean surfaces of the teeth that typically are concealed by the wires. The Richmond Katy orthodontist will review the teeth with the wires off to get a better look at the progress up until this point. Finally, the new wires will be placed and tightened and the patient can select new colors for their bands if they desire.

When patients have their wires and brackets placed, they should understand that the process of placing the braces has not been finished yet because the orthodontic separators and rubber bands still need to be placed. The reason why these devices are not placed at the first visit is that they need time to work. The first part of this visit is the placement of the separators. Separators are small pieces of elastic shaped like bands that are going be stretched out with a special instrument. They will be flossed between teeth where space is needed, such as the back molars. Anyone with questions about separators and rubber bands should contact the best orthodontics near Richmond Tx today to schedule an appointment and have their concerns addressed.
