Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontic treatment is about aligning your teeth. It’s about improving the harmony of your mouth and jaws. Once you can bite together correctly,
you cane a more comfortably and care for your teeth and gums more easily.Age is no barrier to treatment. Patients frequently talk of the life-changing impact of treatment including increased self-esteem and enhanced oral health. Orthodontics, the branch of dentistry concerned with the growth of the teeth, jaws and face, is in high demand.
The benefits of Orthodontic Treatment include:
-
Removal of dental crowding or closing spaces. -
Alignment of the upper and lower dental arches. -
Correction of the bite of the teeth so that the front teeth meet on closing and the back teeth match together. -
Reducing the likelihood of damage to permanent teeth. -
Enhancing facial aesthetics. -
Accommodating impacted, unerupted or displaced teeth. -
Preparation for advanced dental treatment, such as crowns, bridges or dental implants. -
Reversing the drifting of the teeth in older patients who have suffered from advanced gum disease.
These are some of the most common reasons patients seek treatment:
- Protruding Upper Front Teeth – one of the most common dental problems.
- Crowding – an arrow jaw means that there is not enough room for your teeth, resulting in crowding. Conversely, some patients have significant gaps between their teeth.
- Asymmetry – particularly when the centrelines of the upper and lower front teeth do not match, perhaps because the teeth have drifted or the position of the jaw has shifted.
- A Deep Bite – when your upper teeth cover the lower teeth too much.
- A Reverse Bite – when your upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth.
- An Open Bite – when your front teeth remain a part when your back teeth meet; the tongue is often still visible between
the upper and lower front teeth.
- Impacted Teeth – in some patients, secondary teeth come through in the wrong position or do not erupt at all. Orthodontic treatment can help bring these teeth in the
correct position.
