Why BRACES? Teeth that are misaligned, or skewed, can cause significant problems in the mouth. Bacteria and plaque gather where teeth overlap and create hotspots for cavities, discolourations and decay. Misaligned teeth also affect your bite, which could lead to discomfort when speaking, eating or chewing. This could also lead to jaw tension and pain.

All Smiles Dental Practice is a dental clinic based in Nairobi, Kenya that specializes in the alignment of the teeth, orthodontic procedures with the use of special devices like braces or retainers.

Why Braces?
Braces are used to move teeth, retrain muscle and alter the growth of the jaws. They are the most popular fixed devices or appliances made up of bands, wires and brackets that work by placing a gentle force on the teeth and jaws.

You are a candidate for orthodontic treatment (BRACES), if you have any of the following:
• Crowding — when there are too many teeth to accommodate
• Misplaced midline— when the centers of your upper and lower teeth do not line up
• Overbite — where the upper front teeth stick out over the lower teeth
• Under bite — where the lower teeth are too far forward
• Open bite — space between the biting surfaces of the front and/or side teeth
• Spacing — gaps, or spaces, between the teeth

We apply Braces to continually put pressure on your teeth, slowly encouraging them to move into the correct position. It's the arch wire that puts the most pressure on your teeth, while many of the other parts work to keep them in place.

Braces encourage your actual teeth to move, and they put pressure on the Periodontal Membrane at the same time. One side of this membrane stretches out so that the teeth can move. The bars and bands then push it from the other side - creating space for the teeth to shift safely.
