Knowing that you need braces is something that you might just be putting off for a long time. The evidence is there even before you decide to get an orthodontic treatment done. There are many different reasons for getting braces and here are the most common. It is recommended that your children see an orthodontist at an early age. There may be preventive methods that can help correct some of these alignment problems, which can be done by dentists in South Delhi.

Why do people need braces?

• Crowding-when the teeth are too close together, although you may have crowding at an early age this may correct itself before your ready for braces
• Spacing-when the teeth have too much space between them, this too may correct itself before braces
• Overbite-this is a common reason for braces, the top teeth overlap the bottom teeth by an abnormal amount, this can be caused by a child sucking his or her thumb and it can be a characteristic passed down genetically. Although it is common that the top teeth are the problem, sometimes it can be that the bottom jaw is set back and an appliances before or instead of braces may be needed.
• Under bite-an under bite is just the opposite. The bottom teeth protrude out farther than the top teeth. This can also be caused by genetics, sucking on a thumb or pacifier, missing teeth or a trauma.
• Crooked Teeth-Also related to genetics but can be also related to the size of your mouth and teeth. If you have a small mouth and large teeth it can cause the teeth to grow in correct.

How Braces Work:

Teeth move through the use of force. The force applied by the arch wire pushes the tooth in a particular direction and a stress is created within the periodontal ligament. The modification of the periodontal blood supply determines a biological response which leads to bone remodeling, where bone is created on one side by osteoblast cells and resorbed on the other side by osteoclasts.

Two different kinds of bone resorption are possible. Direct resorption, starting from the lining cells of the alveolar bone, and indirect or retrograde resorption, where osteoclasts start their activity in the neighbor bone marrow. Indirect resorption takes place when the periodontal ligament has become subjected to an excessive amount and duration of compressive stress. In this case the quantity of bone resorbed is larger than the quantity of newly formed bone (negative balance). Bone resorption only occurs in the compressed periodontal ligament. Another important phenomenon associated with tooth movement is bone deposition. Bone deposition occurs in the distracted periodontal ligament. Without bone deposition, the tooth will loosen and voids will occur distal to the direction of tooth movement.

A tooth will usually move about a millimeter per month during orthodontic movement, but there is high individual variability. Orthodontic mechanics can vary in efficiency, which partly explains the wide range of response to orthodontic treatment.
