Orthodontics
Orthodontics offers a variety of treatments designed to correct misaligned teeth and jaws, improving both the function and appearance of your smile. Whether you need braces, retainers, or other orthodontic solutions, this treatment can give you the confident, healthy smile you’ve always wanted.
What is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities. It primarily involves the use of braces or clear aligners to move teeth into better positions, ensuring improved bite function and aesthetic results.
Who is a Good Candidate for Orthodontic Treatment?
Orthodontic treatment is suitable for both children and adults who have issues like overcrowded or misaligned teeth, bite issues (overbite, underbite), and gaps between teeth. Your dentist or orthodontist will evaluate your dental health to determine if orthodontic treatment is the right choice for you.
Benefits of Orthodontics:
- Improved Appearance: Straighter teeth enhance your smile and boost your self-confidence.
- Better Oral Health: Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
- Corrected Bite Issues: Orthodontic treatments can address bite problems, improving your chewing and speaking ability.
- Long-lasting Results: Proper alignment of teeth can provide permanent, positive changes to your smile.
How Does The Process Work?
- Consultation: Your dentist or orthodontist will perform a comprehensive evaluation of your teeth and jaw, including X-rays and impressions.
- Treatment Plan: Based on your needs, the orthodontist will create a customized treatment plan, which may include braces or other devices.
- Braces or Aligners: Braces are usually applied, or you may be fitted with clear aligners, depending on your treatment plan.
- Regular Adjustments: You’ll return periodically for adjustments to ensure your teeth are moving as planned.
- Completion: Once treatment is complete, you will wear a retainer to maintain your new smile.
