Clear Aligner​

Aligners represent a revolutionary approach to orthodontic treatment, offering a virtually invisible and removable alternative to traditional braces. Custom-made from clear, BPA-free plastic, aligners are designed to fit snugly over the teeth, gently applying pressure to move them into the desired positions.

Benefits of Aligners

Discreet: Aligners are nearly invisible when worn, making them a preferred choice for individuals seeking a more aesthetic treatment option.

Removable: Aligners can be easily removed for eating, brushing, and special occasions, allowing for greater convenience and flexibility.

Comfortable: Made from smooth plastic, aligners are more comfortable to wear compared to traditional braces, with no sharp edges or wires to irritate.

How Aligners Works?

Consultation & Planning

The orthodontist conducts a comprehensive examination, including X-rays, impressions, and digital scans of the teeth. Using this data, a customized treatment plan is created.

Digital Modeling

Advanced software is utilized to create a 3D digital model of the patient’s teeth. This model allows the orthodontist to plan the precise movements required to achieve the desired outcome.

Series of Aligners

Based on the treatment plan, a series of aligners is fabricated. Each set is worn for about 1-2 weeks, gradually shifting the teeth into the prescribed positions. Patients typically receive multiple sets of aligners to progress through the treatment stages

Regular Check-ups

Throughout the treatment process, patients visit their orthodontist periodically to monitor progress and receive new sets of aligners.

Orthodontic treatment, regardless of the chosen modality, requires commitment and patience. Compliance with the orthodontist’s instructions and proper oral hygiene practices are essential for achieving the desired results efficiently and maintaining long-term oral health. Whether opting for traditional braces or aligners, the ultimate goal remains the same: to achieve a healthy, beautiful smile that lasts a lifetime.

Self-Ligating Braces​

These are high-quality orthodontic products that make appointments shorter, appointment intervals further apart, and reduce friction so teeth move into their correct position faster. Traditional braces use tiny metal wires or elastic bands, known as ligatures, to secure the archwire to teeth. Elastic ligatures can become stained, stretched, or broken requiring additional visits to the orthodontist for replacement. This can be tedious and uncomfortable, as well as time-consuming. The elastic ligatures can also be difficult to clean because they retain food particles. Both metal and elastic ligatures cause friction on the archwire, which makes teeth move slower, thereby increasing treatment time. Self-ligating braces, available in both metal and ceramic materials, eliminate the need for elastic bands to hold the archwire in place. Instead, they use special clips or doors on the brackets to secure the wire. This design reduces plaque accumulation and allows for more efficient tooth movement, potentially shortening treatment time.

There are two types of self-ligating braces – Metal and Clear. The Clear Self-Ligating braces are the perfect aesthetic choice if you want your braces to blend in with your smile. Both styles eliminate ligatures all together. Instead, they use nickel-titanium clips to hold the archwire in place and offer comfort, convenience, and cleanliness. This significantly minimizes friction and allows teeth to move faster, which can reduce the amount of time it takes to complete your treatment. Also, these self-ligating braces are less likely to retain food particles making them easier to clean. In addition, these braces use lighter and gentler forces to align your teeth faster and with less discomfort. Lastly, archwire changes are quick and simple because the archwires simply clip in and out and there is no need to place or remove ligatures. This will reduce the number of appointments and the amount of time spent at each visit.

Lingual Hidden Braces​

These braces are fixed to the teeth on the inner side, making them invisible. Although they achieve the highest level of esthetic demands by being completely hidden, they can be a tad bit inconvenient to the patient as they are near the moving tongue and can cause discomfort while speaking, chewing and swallowing. Hence, these are the least practiced in today’s day and time.

Ceramic Braces​

Similar in design to metal braces, ceramic braces use brackets made of tooth-coloured materials, making them less noticeable compared to their metal counterparts. This option is popular among individuals who desire a more discreet treatment option without compromising effectiveness.

Metal Braces​

Metal braces are the most traditional and well-known orthodontic treatment option. They consist of metal brackets attached to the teeth and connected by archwires. These components work together to gradually shift teeth into their proper positions over time. The orthodontist adjusts the tension of the archwire periodically to effectively guide the teeth’ movement.

TAD System

In traditional orthodontics, molars (back teeth) are used as anchor points to move front teeth. Unfortunately, this may cause the molars to move as well, which is undesirable. TADs (also called Miniscrews can be placed in the mouth to provide an independent anchor point to move teeth. The TAD System allows for a fixed anchorage point that can be used to move a single or multiple teeth. TADs are quick and easy to place, most often with topical anesthetic only. They can be used to correct bites instead of rubber bands, headgears or even jaw surgery in some cases. TADs can make treatment faster, better or allow treatment that was previously only possible with surgery. They are truly remarkable and innovative.

Laser Treatment

The Zap laser is a soft tissue diode laser system that was developed to recontour soft tissues without the cost and invasiveness of traditional periodontal surgery. Zap Laser procedures are performed using a high strength topical anesthetic to recontour gum tissue on orthodontic patients with gummy smiles (gingivectomy), level uneven gingival margins (gingivoplasty), or remove heavy muscular attachments (frenectomy). It also excels at treating cold sores by greatly reducing the amount of discomfort and time required to heal.

In addition, the Zap Laser has been FDA approved for temporary relief of stiffness and minor muscle and joint pain around the jaw. It also offers fast and easy teeth whitening in only 20 minutes! We use this technology because it is quick, painless, and doesn’t require a referral to another specialist.

Fatigue Resistance Device​​

Dr. Deshmukh makes use of advanced technology. 3M’s Forsus® Fatigue Resistant Device is one such innovative mechanical advance.In the past, a headgear was needed to treat certain Class II cases, but now Forsus® provides the same benefits without the use of an orthodontic headgear. The spring provides a constant light force correcting your bite 24 hours a day, rather than wearing a headgear while sleeping, thereby making treatment faster. The Forsus® is positioned in the back of the mouth leaving it virtually invisible. It is installed quickly and easily at one appointment and remains in place between 3 and 6 months.

Adhesive Coated Braces System​

APC™ Adhesive Coated Appliance System is still the only orthodontic bonding system that precoated each bracket with adhesive. Clinical studies have shown that using the APC system can result in a statistically significant reduction in bonding time and provide fewer bonding steps resulting in a more efficient bonding environment.

At Deshmukh Orthodontics, Dr. Shailesh Deshmukh sometimes uses the technique of indirect bonding to place braces. Unlike the traditional method of placing brackets on your teeth one at a time, the indirect methods allows the placement of all 14 brackets on your teeth simultaneously. This offers you several benefits.

First, the procedure is more accurate and precise. Instead of stretching your cheeks and awkwardly trying to place brackets on your teeth, your brackets are first placed on a model of your teeth in the lab. A tray is formed over all the brackets and teeth, and then this tray is used to bond (glue) all brackets at once. This also saves you time since it takes much less time to place all the braces simultaneously. Finally, because the indirect bonding technique incorporates APC™ Adhesive Coated Appliances and Sondhi™ Rapid-Set Indirect Bonding Adhesive from world adhesive leader 3M, the bonding strength is outstanding, resulting in fewer loose brackets during treatment.
