5. Is it possible to fix loose teeth with a removable clip?


A removable clip is used to hold the teeth in place after fixed braces treatment. However, if misaligned teeth are forcibly pushed in using a removable clip, the following issues may occur:


  • Gingivitis (ஈறு அழற்சி)

  • Non-vital teeth (Reduced blood flow)

  • Relapse – Teeth that have moved in may return to their original position

6. What is the ideal age for this treatment?


Age is not a barrier—this treatment can be done even in the 40s or 50s if the gums are healthy. However, for growing children, it is necessary to consult a dentist by the age of one.




7. How long does the treatment take?


At least one year. Rapid treatments may have side effects and may not provide complete results.



8. Is tooth extraction necessary for treatment?


  • If there is enough space to align the teeth, extraction is not necessary.

  • If there is not enough space, tooth extraction may be required.

  • After treatment, the teeth will align properly, and any gaps left by extractions will be completely closed.



9. What are ceramic braces?


Ceramic braces are clips that match the color of the teeth, making them less noticeable. They provide an aesthetic alternative for those who prefer discreet treatment.



10. Common Misconceptions about Orthodontic Treatment


❌ This treatment will weaken the teeth.

❌ This treatment will cause gum disease.

❌ Teeth must always be extracted for this treatment.

❌ The treatment should be completed within six months.

❌ Incisor teeth are linked to astrology/zodiac signs.
