The first steps of tooth braces in
El Cajon
|
Dr. Kuruvadi
knows you probably have plenty of questions about getting
tooth braces in El Cajon. Here are a few that prospective patients often ask.
|
 |
"Dr. Kuruvadi,
what usually happens during an initial orthodontic exam?" |
| |
In order to determine your
specific needs, we will completely evaluate
your mouth. This will likely include:
 |
Impressions of your teeth,
from which models are made (these are useful for the
orthodontist, and will remind you exactly how your
teeth looked before correction). |
|
|
Photographs of your teeth,
face, and smile
|
|
|
X-rays of your head and
teeth |
|
|
Your medical health
history and dental health history
|
Your orthodontist will then
carefully evaluate your specific needs and provide you with
a treatment plan for correction. Following the recommended
plan is important for proper correction.
|
|
|
"What are spacers, Dr. Kuruvadi?" |
| |
Teeth normally fit tightly
against one another. Spacers are inserted before placement
of your braces to provide some space between teeth for
attaching the bands. There are two types of spacers, small
springs or plastic modules. In just a few days they gently
move desired teeth slightly apart.
Spacers often cause some
soreness, but this goes away in a few days. Rinse your mouth
with warm salt water to relieve the irritation. Your normal
chewing also helps to get your mouth feeling better.
|
|
|
"What do I do if a spacer
comes out?" |
| |
Call your doctor immediately
for a replacement. That little spacer is making just enough
room for a comfortable fit for your braces and plays an
important role.
