MONTREZ À VOS DENTS QUI EST LE PATIENTRON!
Les types de broches dentaires
Il existe plusieurs types de broches dentaires. Une première consultation à notre clinique vous permet de savoir si votre dentition est problématique et aussi de vous éclairer quant au meilleur traitement orthodontique pour rectifier la situation. L’orthodontiste responsable de votre examen répondra à toutes vos questions et vous expliquera en quoi consiste le traitement ou l’appareil suggéré. S’il s’agit de broches dentaires, il sera en mesure de vous recommander le meilleur traitement pour répondre à vos besoins.
LES BROCHES ORTHODONTIQUES ET LEURS AVANTAGES
Broches métalliques auto-ligaturantes (SPEED)
Chez Archambault & Morton Orthodontistes, nous fournissons à nos patients les broches dentaires les mieux adaptées à leur situation. Nous utilisons des broches miniatures de métal de haute qualité SPEED. Elles ont des petites portes de métal qui retiennent le fil métallique en place, éliminant le besoin d’élastiques.
Broches transparentes (Clarity Advanced de 3M)
Nous sommes heureux d’offrir à nos patients des broches transparentes en céramique. Ces broches esthétiques sont ultra petites et résistent aux taches et aux changements de couleur pendant votre traitement. Les broches Clarity Advanced sont translucides et lisses. Elles s’harmonisent à la couleur naturelle de vos dents pour un traitement pratiquement invisible. Ces broches transparentes sont beaucoup moins apparentes que les broches conventionnelles.

Do dental braces cause pain?
Normally, ‘’braces’’ do not cause pain. However, after certain adjustment visits, the teeth may be sensitive and cause some discomfort for a few days. In this case, following the recommendations of your orthodontist, medications such as Advil or Tylenol may provide relief Most patients experience only minor discomfort after adjustment visits for a few days.
Do I need to see my dentist while I am wearing braces?
Yes, dental examinations by your dentist are important while you are wearing braces. Your dentist will determine the interval of your exams, prevention and cleaning appointments. Usually, an appointment with your dentist is required every 6 months.
Are there any foods that I can’t eat while I am wearing braces?
Yes, as soon as the treatment begins, we will explain and provide a list of foods to avoid, for example, chewing on ice, hard candy, raw uncut vegetables and sweet sticky foods (such as caramel). You can avoid extra appointments to repair damaged or broken braces by following these recommendations.
Can I still practice sports or play wind instruments when I am wearing braces?
Yes, if you practice a sport that involves contact, we strongly recommend wearing a mouthguard. For musical wind instruments, there will be a period of adjustment. With practice, you will be able to play your instrument normally.
