What could be the reasons for me needing orthodontic treatment?
If you have misaligned, overlapping, or crooked teeth, orthodontic treatment may be needed to improve their alignment and appearance. This treatment can also help with crowded jaws and correct tooth alignment. An overbite, where the upper front teeth excessively overlap the lower front teeth, can lead to jaw discomfort, speech problems, and potential tooth damage. Luckily, orthodontic treatment can fix this issue. Additionally, orthodontic treatment can address functional problems such as 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 lower 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 thorough 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 straightening teeth gradually 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 have come in, usually between the ages of 7-9. Starting braces early can help improve alignment, guide new teeth, and take advantage of the child's growth and development.
