Orthodontics

What is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a subspecialty of dentistry that focuses on the detection, avoidance, and correction of dental and facial abnormalities, especially those caused by crooked teeth and misaligned jaws. Orthodontic treatment seeks to improve the teeth's overall function, alignment, and position while also enhancing their aesthetics.

Orthodontic therapy can address a variety of orthodontic problems, including overbites, underbites, crossbites, crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, crooked teeth, and malocclusions (incorrect bite alignment). Numerous reasons, such as genetic susceptibility, atypical jaw development, early loss of baby teeth, behaviors like thumb sucking, or dental trauma, can cause these problems.

The most common orthodontic procedures include the following:

Braces: Rubber bands, wires, and brackets make up traditional braces. In order to gradually move the teeth into the correct locations, the wires are threaded through the brackets that have been bonded to the teeth. When used to treat a variety of orthodontic problems, braces are quite effective and can be adjusted by the orthodontist as needed.

Clear Aligners: Braces are often replaced with clear aligners like Invisalign. They are transparent, removable, personalized trays that gradually realign the teeth. Because they may be taken out for eating, brushing, and special occasions, clear aligners have greater flexibility and aesthetic appeal. However, they might not be appropriate in circumstances involving complicated orthodontics.

Regular visits to the orthodontist are usually necessary during orthodontic treatment to make adjustments and track progress. The length of therapy varies according to how severe the orthodontic problems are and the form of treatment that is used. It can last anywhere between a few months and a few years.

Orthodontic therapy has various oral health benefits in addition to its cosmetic ones. Because properly aligned teeth are simpler to clean, they are less likely to develop tooth decay, gum disease, and other dental problems. Additionally, a balanced bite and aligned jaw can enhance general dental health, relieve TMJ pain, and lessen excessive tooth wear.

Who needs the service?
Orthodontic treatment occurs when the patients fail to develop a good bite because the jaws do not line up properly.

Benefits

Children and teenagers are frequently advised to get orthodontic treatment because their developing jaws and teeth react well to treatment. But because of improvements in orthodontics, adults can also benefit from orthodontic treatment because there are now more covert ways to correct alignment problems.

A consultation with an orthodontist is essential to evaluate specific orthodontic requirements and choose the best course of action for creating a healthier, more aligned smile.
