Braces Treatment
Our Justsmile family dental clinic has the best and expert orthodontics. For the treatment, an appointment needs to be maintained for record collection. Impressions are then taken for which plaster models of teeth have to be constructed. Photographs of teeth and face are captured, followed by their X-rays. Before starting the braces treatment, any decayed teeth are filled and cleaned. Retainers or removable plates are put behind the teeth while braces are put in front of teeth. This helps to straighten teeth and adjust them into place. With our new technological tools and equipment, you will not feel any pain during or after the treatment.
