Orthodontic treatment can help to prevent cavities and gum disease by making it easier to clean your teeth,it can correct bite problems, which can make it easier to chew and speak,it can sometimes help to relieve pain caused by TMJ disorders.
Orthodontic treatment focuses on correcting misalignments and irregularities in the teeth and jaw. It involves the use of various appliances, such as braces or clear aligners, to gradually move the teeth into their proper positions. By applying gentle pressure over time, orthodontic treatment can straighten crooked teeth, close gaps, correct bite issues, and improve overall dental alignment.
The treatment duration varies depending on the severity of the case and the chosen method, but the result is a straighter, more aesthetically pleasing smile and improved oral function. Regular adjustments and monitoring by an orthodontist ensure the treatment progresses smoothly and effectively.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that your ch ild be evaluated by age 7. Treatment at this time for certain cases is advisable cause the jaws are just developing and growing and intervening at this time will cause benefits in future treatment. Early detection of some orthodontic problems is important in order to take early corrective action and avoid more difficult treatment later.
Braces may be on between 6 months to 30 months, or longer depending on the age of the patient, the severity of the problem, the patient’s cooperation, and the degree of movement possible.
It is usually difficult for you to determine if treatment is necessary because there are many problems that can occur even though the front teeth look straight. Also, there are some problems that look intimidating and complex which will resolve on their own. Our initial exam I can evaluate the case and we would be more than happy to see your child and make any recommendations necessary.
No, age is not a factor, only the health of your gums and bone which support your teeth. About 25% of our orthodontic patients are adults and that number is still growing!
Orthodontic treatment has improved dramatically. As a rule, braces make your teeth sore for a few days, but it is not painful. This annoyance can be relieved with an over-the-counter pain reliever. Today’s braces are smaller, more comfortable and use technology that reduces the discomfort. We use the latest in miniature braces and the highest quality of orthodontic materials in order to reduce discomfort and treatment time.
