About Orthodontics

DentalOrthodontics

Orthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities, commonly known as malocclusions or misalignments. Orthodontic treatment aims to improve the appearance, functionality, and overall health of a person’s teeth, jaw, and facial structures.

More About Orthodontics

Orthodontic issues can arise due to various reasons, such as genetic factors, thumb-sucking habits during childhood, premature loss of baby teeth, accidents, or dental disease. Common orthodontic problems include:

Overcrowded or crooked teeth.
Overbites (upper front teeth protrude over the lower front teeth).
Underbites (lower front teeth protrude beyond the upper front teeth).
Crossbites (upper and lower teeth don’t meet correctly).
Open bites (when upper and lower teeth don’t meet when the mouth is closed).
Gaps between teeth.
Orthodontic treatment typically involves the use of dental braces or aligners to gradually move teeth into their desired positions. Dental braces are often made of metal or ceramic brackets attached to the teeth, connected with wires that apply gentle pressure to move the teeth. Clear aligners, such as Invisalign, are also popular options that use a series of custom-made, removable trays to achieve tooth movement.

Orthodontic treatment is not limited to just children and teenagers; adults can also benefit from orthodontic procedures to improve their dental alignment and overall oral health. The duration of orthodontic treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case and the chosen treatment method.

Orthodontic care is provided by orthodontists, who are dental specialists with advanced training in orthodontics after completing dental school. They evaluate patients’ dental conditions and create personalized treatment plans to achieve optimal results.

Regular check-ups with the orthodontist during treatment are essential to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments. After the active phase of treatment is complete, patients usually wear retainers to maintain the newly achieved alignment and prevent the teeth from shifting back to their original positions.
