For more major cosmetic concerns, which may
include teeth that are too short, crooked or too

saved and repaired to look and feel like original.
14. DENTURES
Dentures are removable appliances that can replace missing
teeth and help restore your smile. If you’ve lost all of your natural
teeth, whether from gum disease, tooth decay or injury, replacing
missing teeth will benefit your appearance and your health. That’s
because dentures make it easier to eat and speak better than you
could without teeth—things that people often take for granted.
When you lose all of your teeth, facial muscles can sag, making
you look older. Dentures can help fill out the appearance of your
face and profile. They can be made to closely resemble your
natural teeth so that your appearance does not change much.
Dentures may even improve the look of your smile.

20. ORTHODONTICS(BRACES)
Orthodontic treatment is a way of
straightening or moving teeth, to improve
the appearance of the teeth and how
they work. It can also help to look after
the long-term health of the teeth,gums
and jaw joints, by spreading the biting
pressure over all the teeth.
21. TYPES OF BRACES
Invisalign Aligners are clear removable
braces which gradually straighten teeth
when worn all the time. They are virtually
unnoticeable and are good for less
severe cases.
22. Lingual Braces are fixed braces which
are attached to the back of the teeth
rather that the front. This means they are
truly invisible so you can continue to
smile with confidence throughout
treatment.
23. Fixed braces are attached to the teeth
and cannot be removed by the patient.
They can be metal or ceramic (tooth-
coloured).
24. Removable braces are used on their
own for simple problems in younger
patients (usually under age 11) or as
part of a plan involving fixed braces.
