It also assists in looking after the long-term health of your teeth, gums and jaw joints by spreading the biting pressure over all your teeth.
Orthodontic treatment can help treat/improve the following:
- Protruding front teeth: Treatment can work on the appearance and protects the teeth from damage during sports injuries or falls.
- Crowding: In a narrow jaw, there may not be sufficient space for all the teeth. The orthodontist might eliminate 1 or more teeth to make room for the others.
- Impacted teeth: This can take place when adult tooth doesn't rise out of the gum or bone, or just emerges partially.
- Asymmetrical teeth: The upper and lower teeth don't match, particularly when the mouth is closed but the teeth are appearing.
- Deep bite, or overbite: When the teeth are clenched, the upper ones descend too far over the lower ones.
- Reversible bite: When the teeth are clenched, the upper teeth bite inside the lower ones.
- Open bite: When the teeth are clenched, there is an opening between the upper and lower teeth.
- Under bite: The upper teeth are too far back, or the lower teeth are too far forward.
- Cross bite: Atleast one of the upper teeth doesn't come down slightly before the lower teeth when the teeth are clenched. They are too near to the cheek or the tongue.
- Spacing: There are gaps or spaces between the teeth, either because a tooth is missing, or the teeth don't fill the mouth. This is opposite of crowding.
Orthodontic treatment normally includes the utilization of appliances, such as braces or clear aligners, to gently and step by step move the teeth into their ideal positions.
Here are some common orthodontic treatment choices:
- Braces: Traditional braces comprise of metal brackets bonded to the teeth and associated by archwires. The orthodontist adjusts the wires periodically to direct the teeth into the correct positions.
- Clear Aligners: Clear aligners, like Invisalign, are a popular option to traditional braces. They are virtually invisible and can be eliminated for eating, brushing, and flossing. Clear aligners utilize a series of custom-made trays to move the teeth gradually.
- Retainers: After the active phase of orthodontic treatment, patients are often needed to wear retainers. Retainers assist in maintaining the new positions of the teeth and keep them from shifting back to their original positions.
