Duccio di Buoninsegna (Italian: [ËduttÊo di ËbwÉninËseÉ²É²a]; c. 1255â1260 â c. 1318â1319) was an Italian painter active in Siena, Tuscany, in the late 13th and early 14th centuries. He was hired throughout his life to complete many important works in government and religious buildings around Italy. Duccio is credited with creating the painting styles of Trecento and the Sienese school, and also contributed significantly to the Sienese Gothic style.
In some situations, to maintain the bite, the orthodontist will not want the back teeth to come forward. The headgear serves to hold them back (maintain anchorage). Orthodontists will want those patients to wear the headgear as much as they can. Realistically for most adults this might only be 8-10 hours per day, but the more the better; even 24 hours would be acceptable. Soreness of teeth when chewing, or when the teeth touch, is typical.
One of our patients is a local police officer who wa nted braces for a long time but his family couldnât afford them when he was a child. For the past five to 10 years, heâs thought about getting braces but didnât want noticeable braces like metal ones and worried heâd look like a kid with them. When he came in, we showed him the aesthetic/ceramic braces and he was pleased with the look of the braces on the pictures and the model teeth in the office. He decided to go with them and heâs a few months into treatment.
