What are Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that aims to diagnose, prevent, and treat dental irregularities (bad bites). It involves correcting misaligned teeth and jaws to improve their function and aesthetics.

This treatment can significantly reduce the risk of dental issues such as gum disease, erosion, cavities, and cracked teeth.

Braces, clear aligners, and retainers are some of the most common orthodontic treatments.

Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment

You've heard this statement more times than you can count, but let's say it one more time: oral health is a crucial part of your overall well-being, and that's why addressing orthodontic issues should be your top priority.

Sorry to tell you that ignoring them can lead to severe problems like tooth decay and gum disease.

Orthodontics won't only help you treat these dental problems but also:

• Create a healthy smile and facial structure
• Correct your bite to make chewing and speaking easier.
• Ensure your teeth and jaw are correctly functioning.
• Prevent tooth decay by making it easier to keep your teeth clean.
• Help you achieve an aesthetically pleasing smile.

Who Offers Orthodontic Treatment?

A dentist specializing in orthodontics is known as an orthodontist. And for those who may not be familiar, an orthodontist is a dentist who completes an additional two to three years of specialized training after graduation. Their primary focus is on improving and correcting bites. In most cases, they don't perform other dental treatments like bridges, root canals, or crowns.

Types of Orthodontic Treatments Offered

Orthodontists provide different types of orthodontic treatments based on each patient's needs and dental problems. Here are some of the most common ones:

• Traditional Metal Braces: These braces involve using metal brackets and wires to straighten teeth.
• Ceramic Braces: These braces are very similar to metal braces but with clear brackets, making them look more aesthetic.
• Lingual Braces: Lingual braces are placed on the back of the teeth.
• Retainers: Retainers are used after orthodontic treatment to maintain the teeth' new position.
• Clear Aligners (like Invisalign): These braces are removable and gradually shift teeth without brackets or wires.
• Palatal Expanders: Palatal expanders are common in children; they widen the upper jaw to correct misalignment or crowding.
