These are permanent as the brackets that hold the wire are glued to the front of the teeth. These brackets can be made from different materials. Metal brackets (stainless steel, titanium, gold) are esthetically less desirable. Or they can be tooth-colored, made from plastic or porcelain. In some cases, brackets may be put on the back of the teeth (lingual appliances). These braces will apply a constant, controlled force to the teeth that moves the teeth into the desired direction over time. This continuous force will rebuild the bones, too: bone will be destroyed at the site of pressure and built at the site of pulling. In the case of the permanent braces, posterior rings are placed on the last four teeth and brackets are placed on each tooth. These brackets hold a wire. The wire will apply force to the teeth. Advantages: Constant and controlled but gentle force is applied to the teeth; continuous treatment. Disadvantages: As it is glued to the teeth, only an orthodontist can remove it, so it is much harder to keep the appliance or teeth clean; more expensive than the removable braces.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: Oral and maxillofacial surgery is the specialty of dentistry which includes the diagnosis, surgical and adjunctive treatment of diseases, injuries and defects involving both the functional and esthetic aspects of the hard and soft tissues of the oral and maxillofacial region.

Veneers are very thin pieces of durable, tooth shaped porcelain that are custom made (for shape and color) by a professional dental laboratory. They are bonded onto the front of teeth to create a beautiful and attractive smile. Veneers can completely reshape your teeth and smile. They can often be alternatives to crowns and the ideal solution in treating many dental conditions. As with most dental restorations, veneers are not permanent and may someday need replacement. They are very durable and will last many years, giving you a beautiful long lasting smile. Reasons for porcelain veneers: cosmetically, to create a uniform, white, beautiful smile, crooked teeth, misshapen teeth, rely discolored or stained teeth, teeth that are too small or large, unwanted or uneven spaces, worn or chipped teeth. The teeth are prepared by lightly buffing and shaping the surface to allow for the thickness of the veneer. A mold or impression of the teeth is taken and a shade (color) will then be chosen by you and the dentist. On the second visit the teeth will be cleansed with special liquids to achieve a durable bond. Bonding cement is then placed between the tooth and veneer and a special light beam is used to harden and set the bond.
