Smile Bright: Our Services to Dental Care

Treatment can improve the appearance of the teeth, but it can also lead to better chewing and speech function and help protect teeth from damage or decay, in some cases.

To achieve these goals, we use a range of medical dental devices, plates, and braces.

Protecting and Enhancing Your Dental Health

Devices

Orthodontic devices can be fixed or removable.

Fixed appliances

These are the most common devices used in orthodontics. They are used when precision is important. A person can eat normally with fixed appliances, but some foods and drinks need to be avoided, such as carbonated drinks, hard candy, gum, and other sticky foods. People who participate in contact sports need to tell us, as they may need special gum shields.
  • Examples of fixed orthodontic appliances include:

    Braces

    Braces include bands, wires, brackets. Bands anchor, brackets connect. Arch wires pass through brackets, fixed to bands. Tension from tightening moves teeth gradually. Monthly visits adjust braces. Treatment averages 6 months. Metal and crystal braces offered, metal being economical.

  • Examples of fixed orthodontic appliances include:

    Fixed Expansion Devices

    Overlapping or irregular teeth mean crowding, mild to severe. Crowding can make teeth protrude. Most clinics extract teeth, but we avoid it in 99% cases to prevent occlusion imbalance and gaps. We use fixed expansion devices with braces to correct crowding.

  • Examples of fixed orthodontic appliances include:

    Removable orthodontic appliances

    The appliance should only be taken out when cleaning, eating, or flossing. Sometimes, the orthodontist may advice the patient to remove them during certain activities, such as playing a wind instrument or cycling.

    Should you visit us?

    If you are not happy with your smile or bite, you should consider consulting us. When the jaws and teeth do not develop properly, malocclusion can result. The teeth will be crooked and misaligned, and the bottom and top sets of teeth may not line up.

    Malocclusion is not a disease and it does not affect physical health. It is a variation in the position of teeth.

    However, it may impact the shape of the face and the appearance of the teeth, resulting in embarrassment, a lack of self-confidence, and even depression.

    Reasons include injury to the teeth or facial bones and frequent thumb or finger sucking, among others.

    We can provide a night-time mouth guard to stop people clenching and grinding their teeth.

    Severe malocclusion may affect eating, speech, and keeping the teeth clean. Orthodontic treatment can help treat or improve the following:

    Protruding front teeth: Treatment can improve the appearance and protects the teeth from damage during sports injuries or falls.

    Crowding: In a narrow jaw, there may not be enough space for all the teeth. The orthodontist may remove one or more teeth to make room for the others.

    Impacted teeth: This can happen when adult tooth does not emerge from the gum or bone, or only emerges partially.

    Asymmetrical teeth: The upper and lower teeth do not match, especially when the mouth is closed but the teeth are showing.

    Deep bite, or overbite: When the teeth are clenched, the upper ones come down too far over the lower ones.

    Reverse bite: When the teeth are clenched, the upper teeth bite inside the lower ones.

    Open bite: When the teeth are clenched, there is an opening between the upper and lower teeth.

    Underbite: The upper teeth are too far back, or the lower teeth are too far forward. Crossbite: At least one of the upper teeth does not come down slightly in front of the lower teeth when the teeth are clenched. They are too near the cheek or the tongue.

    Spacing: There are gaps or spaces between the teeth, either because a tooth is missing, or the teeth do not fill-up the mouth. This is the opposite of crowding.

    Good oral hygiene is essential before any orthodontic work can begin. When devices are placed on the teeth, food particles are more likely to become stuck. You will need to brush much more carefully and more often to prevent tooth decay during treatment.

    Without good oral hygiene practices, there is a risk of tooth decay during treatment. We may also recommend avoiding fizzy drinks, sugary snacks, and other items that can lead to tooth decay. On your first visit we will assess the state of your teeth, and the assessment will involve:
    1. taking a full medical and dental health history
    2. carrying out a clinical examination
    3. taking x-rays of the teeth and jaw

    We will give you all possible options for treatment which may differ on time, cost etc. so you can select what is best for you.

    We will give you the smile you want in 4-9 months*at Colombo Dental Clinics! Treatment times may vary, on age, level of malocclusion, patient cooperation and visits etc.

    *under optimum conditions and ideal treatment
