Braces Removal 10th appointment

Patient: David Lee, 20 years old

Problem: David had a severe case of rotated teeth and a rotated bite, which caused his teeth to be misaligned and caused difficulty in biting and chewing.

Treatment: David was prescribed traditional metal braces for his upper and lower teeth. The treatment lasted for 14 months.

Procedure: Metal brackets and wires were attached to David’s teeth. The orthodontist made regular adjustments to the wire tension to gradually move David’s teeth into the desired position. He also received additional appliances such as a bite plate to help correct the rotated bite.

Challenges: David experienced some discomfort in the first few days after the braces were put on and after adjustments. He also had difficulty speaking and eating at first, as he had to adjust to the braces in his mouth.

Solution: David was given over-the-counter pain relievers to help with the initial discomfort. He also received speech therapy to help him adjust to speaking with the braces in his mouth.

Outcome: After 14 months of treatment, David’s rotated teeth and bite were corrected, and his teeth were aligned. He now has a proper bite and can chew and bite properly, also his smile is more symmetric.

Conclusion: Traditional metal braces are an effective treatment option for correcting rotated teeth and bite, as well as other types of malocclusions. With proper care, regular adjustments and some patience, patients can achieve a straighter, healthier smile that can boost their confidence and improve their overall oral health.
