What could be the reasons for me needing orthodontic treatment?
Orthodontic treatment may be needed if your teeth are misaligned, overlapping, or crooked to improve their alignment and appearance. If your teeth are crowded or there isn't enough space in your jaw, orthodontic treatment can help create the necessary space and align your teeth properly. An overbite, where the upper front teeth overlap the lower front teeth excessively, can lead to jaw discomfort, speech difficulties, and potential tooth damage, but orthodontic treatment can correct this misalignment. Additionally, orthodontic treatment can address functional issues like difficulty chewing or speech problems caused by an improper bite or misaligned teeth.
Orthodontic Aligners: Efficient, Safe, and Hygienic Teeth Straightening
Orthodontic aligners are a great alternative to braces for straightening teeth. These clear aligners have been successfully used by millions of patients. It's important to be aware of both the benefits and drawbacks. One advantage is the reduced risk of tooth damage due to their precise movements. They also save time by requiring fewer visits to the orthodontist, as multiple trays can be provided at once. Additionally, they promote better oral hygiene since they can be removed 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 straightening teeth by applying gentle pressure to encourage them to shift over time. Treatment typically lasts around 2 years, but can vary depending on the complexity of the case. We recommend children have an orthodontic consultation once their permanent incisors are in place, usually between the ages of 7-9. Placing braces at this age can improve alignment, guide erupting teeth, and take advantage of the child's growth and development.
