Trapped food in dental braces
MODEL RELEASED. Trapped food in dental braces, which are fixed to the teeth of a teenage girl. Fixed braces consist of metal brackets cemented to each tooth, with an adjustable wire threaded through each bracket. Braces are worn either to reposition the teeth in an overcrowded jaw or to correct poor alignment between upper and lower jaws (malocclusions). A fixed brace gives more control over teeth movement than removable braces, but food is more easily trapped when wearing this type of brace

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the everyday struggle faced by teenagers with dental braces. The image showcases a teenage girl smiling, her metal braces clearly visible. These fixed braces consist of metal brackets cemented to each tooth, ensuring precise control over teeth movement for orthodontic purposes. However, as this picture reveals, one common drawback of wearing fixed braces is the trapping of food particles. In this particular shot, a piece of spinach is caught in between the wires and brackets. This serves as a reminder that maintaining proper oral hygiene becomes even more crucial when wearing such appliances. The photograph emphasizes the technological advancements in dentistry and how they aid in achieving optimal alignment and cosmetic enhancements for individuals like this adolescent girl. It also sheds light on the embarrassment that can arise from having trapped food visible in one's mouth. With its model released subject and focus on dental health, this image serves as an educational tool rather than promoting any specific company or commercial use. Science Photo Library has once again captured a moment that highlights both the challenges and benefits associated with orthodontics while reminding us all about the importance of dental hygiene.
