Orthodontics

Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that specialises in treating patients with improper positioning of teeth when the mouth is closed (malocclusion), which results in an improper bite.

An orthodontics specialist is called an Orthodontist who has undergone appropriate specialist training for several years. Orthodontics also includes cosmetic dentistry; when the patient's aim is to improve his/her appearance.

An orthodontist uses a range of appliances for:

Closing wide gaps between the teeth
Making sure the tips of the teeth are aligned
Straightening crooked teeth
To improve speech or eating (oral function)
To improve the long-term health of gums and teeth
To prevent long-term excessive wear or trauma (of the teeth)

Improve your Health

A nice smile is not only beautiful, it also promotes good health:

Straight and evenly spaced teeth are easier to keep clean, resulting in better oral health.
Properly aligned teeth chew more efficiently, which may help digestion.
Aligned teeth create a better bite, which may reduce stress, headaches, and strain on your supporting bone and tissue.
According to the American Association of Orthodontists, crooked and crowded teeth are hard to clean and maintain. This may contribute to conditions that cause not only tooth decay but may lead to gum disease and tooth loss.

When left untreated, many minor orthodontic problems may become worse, contributing to abnormal wear of tooth surfaces, inefficient chewing, excessive gum stress on gum tissue, and misalignment of the jaw joints. This can all lead to chronic headaches or pain in the face or neck. Treatment by a specialist to correct minor orthodontic issues are often less costly than the additional dental care required to treat more serious problems that can develop in later years. So, no matter what age you are it is never too early or too late to invest in braces and ultimately invest in yourself. Start enjoying the lifelong results today.
