What Are the Different Types of Braces and How Can Ayurveda Support Orthodontic Treatment and Dental Health? - #16191

I’ve been considering getting braces to improve my smile, and I’ve been looking into the different types available, such as traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, and Invisalign. While I understand that braces are an effective way to straighten teeth, I’m curious to know more about how they work and whether Ayurveda offers natural remedies or practices that support dental health and orthodontic treatment. From what I understand, braces work by applying constant pressure to the teeth, gradually moving them into the correct position over time. But what I do not fully understand is whether there are ways to support the dental and oral tissues during orthodontic treatment to make the process more comfortable and effective. Are there Ayurvedic treatments that can help with pain relief or speed up the adjustment period? I have read that Ayurveda focuses on maintaining oral health by balancing the elements within the body and ensuring proper digestion, as oral health is often seen as a reflection of internal balance. Are there Ayurvedic herbs like Neem, Turmeric, or Clove that can help in maintaining gum health, reducing inflammation, and preventing cavities while undergoing orthodontic treatment? Another thing I am wondering about is whether Ayurveda recommends specific dietary changes during orthodontic treatment, such as avoiding sticky foods or incorporating calcium-rich foods to support tooth enamel and bone health. Does Ayurveda have specific remedies for promoting strong, healthy teeth and gums during the treatment process? If anyone has used Ayurvedic remedies alongside braces or has experience with Ayurveda supporting dental health during orthodontic treatment, I would love to hear your experiences.
