What is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry dedicated to improving the alignment of teeth and jaws. It involves the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of various orthodontic issues, including:

• Malocclusions: These refer to misalignments of the teeth and jaws, such as overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites.
• Crowding: When there's insufficient space for teeth to align correctly, crowding occurs, leading to overlapping or twisted teeth.
• Spacing: Conversely, excessive gaps between teeth can also result in misalignment.

Treatments Involved:

Orthodontic treatments aim to correct these issues and create a harmonious bite and a beautiful smile. Some common treatments include:

• Braces: Traditional metal braces use wires and brackets to shift teeth into their desired positions over a period of time.
• Invisalign: Clear aligners are custom-made, removable trays that gradually move teeth. They are discreet and comfortable.
• Lingual Braces: These braces are attached to the back of teeth, making them virtually invisible from the front.
• Orthognathic Surgery: In severe cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to correct jaw misalignments.
• Retainers: After active treatment, retainers help maintain the new alignment and prevent relapse.

What are the Benefits of Orthodontics?

Having correctly aligned teeth makes cleaning them easier and reduces the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health problems. By undergoing orthodontic treatment, you can transform your smile and boost your self-confidence and self-esteem. Moreover, correcting misaligned bites can improve your chewing, speech, and overall oral function. It's always better to address orthodontic issues earlier as it can prevent more complex problems later in life. Orthodontic treatment plans are customized to suit each individual's needs.
