Orthodontic treatment refers to any methods of correcting tooth alignment for practical and aesthetic objectives.
Orthodontic treatment involves applying force to one or more teeth in order to establish alignment and harmonic tooth balance. The teeth will shift in your jawbone as a result of bone cell activity, which allows the bone to grow and dissolve in a controlled manner.
Who Can Receive Orthodontic Treatment?
The position of your teeth and jaw influences occlusion. Occlusion refers to the relationship between your upper and lower teeth. Tooth malocclusion occurs when your upper teeth do not align properly with your lower teeth. Missing, misplaced, overlapping, or projecting teeth are the cause of this ailment. This also makes it harder for you to chew some foods. It may also induce muscle tension and soreness. Your projecting, asymmetrical teeth can also be damaged or shattered more easily. Similarly, brushing crooked or overlapping teeth is more challenging. This raises your risk of gum disease and cavities. Orthodontic treatment allows you to modify the position of your teeth at any age. When you visit our clinic for a checkup, we can determine whether orthodontic treatment is right for you.
What benefits do orthodontic treatments provide?
Orthodontic treatment not only straightens your teeth but also ensures that they remain functional and attractive for the rest of your life. Orthodontic treatment will affect your oral and dental health in the following ways:
• Improve gum health by brushing your teeth more effectively. Healthy gums protect you from the danger of developing periodontal disease in the future.
• Poorly positioned teeth can cause inappropriate physiological stress. This condition can cause abnormal tooth wear, gingival edoema, bleeding, redness, and pain in the temporomandibular joint. However, this treatment can help you avoid such ailments and enhance your overall quality of life.
• Improves fluency in speaking. Your untreated teeth may also cause speech issues. Orthodontic treatment will improve your diction by aligning your jaw and teeth.
