Becoming a great dental technician

If you have misaligned or crooked teeth, then it is high time you see a dentist for the purpose of having dental braces fitted. Dental braces are devices used in orthodontics and they help align or straighten teeth. Once this is done, you are then able to bite and chew properly, thus improving your dental health. Having straight teeth may also improve your self-confidence. In this article, you will learn what you should expect from the procedure and the proper way of maintaining braces.

Baby teeth, also known as deciduous or primary teeth, typically fall out and are replaced by adult teeth by the time an individual reaches the age of 12 or 13; however, this may not necessarily be the case for everyone. Primary teeth may remain in situ as a result of overcrowding, an obstruction, ankylosis of the primary teeth and numerous other reasons. The retained primary teeth may prevent the adult teeth from erupting, and may stay lodged in the gum tissue.
