What could be the reasons for me needing orthodontic treatment?

If your teeth are not aligned properly, overlapping, or crooked, orthodontic treatment may be needed to enhance their alignment and appearance. This treatment can also help in creating space in a crowded jaw and aligning teeth correctly. An overbite, where the upper front teeth overlap the lower front teeth excessively, can lead to jaw discomfort, speech difficulties, and potential tooth damage. However, orthodontic treatment can fix this issue. Additionally, orthodontic treatment can tackle functional problems like difficulty chewing or speech issues caused by an improper bite or misaligned teeth.

Orthodontic Aligners: Efficient, Safe, and Hygienic Teeth Straightening

Orthodontic aligners are a great alternative to traditional braces for straightening teeth. These clear aligners have been proven effective for millions of patients. It's important to weigh the pros and cons. One advantage is the decreased risk of tooth damage due to their precise movements. They also save time by needing fewer orthodontist visits, as multiple trays can be given at once. Additionally, they promote better oral hygiene since they can be easily taken out for proper brushing and flossing. These aligners can also double as whitening trays and a night guard, providing extra protection for your teeth during and after treatment.

Traditional braces

Traditional braces are a great option for gradually straightening teeth over a period of about 2 years. The length of treatment can vary depending on each individual case. It is recommended for children to have an orthodontic evaluation once their permanent incisors come in, usually between the ages of 7-9. Getting braces early can help improve alignment, guide emerging teeth, and take advantage of the child's growth and development.
