Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry in which straightening and alignment of teeth is done. For straightening and alignment of teeth patient has to wear a brace or a retainer around his teeth for a long period of time. Many of your Glasgow dentists offer orthodontic treatments with these braces or retainers. Wires and springs are used to make the braces, which are attached to tiny metallic plates or are attached to a plastic mould. When the patient wears braces then these braces apply gradual force to the teeth, in this way teeth are encouraged to take a different alignment. In children the best orthodontic results of alignment of teeth can be achieved because their teeth are in growing state. Orthodontic treatment is also given to adults but it takes longer time for alignment in them. Glasgow orthodontists assess the teeth that need alignment to create a brace; either they create a fixed brace or a removable brace. Fixed braces are permanently fixed and are removed only at the end of treatment. But removable braces can be removed while eating or for cleaning. But removable braces are to be worn during all the day and night.
