Orthodontics

It can be extremely uncomfortable to have teeth that are not straight. Eating and speaking can be difficult, and you may feel self-conscious about your appearance. Orthodontics can help correct these issues and improve your quality of life, at any stage of your life.

Patients who have undergone orthodontic treatment have reported fewer complaints about tooth decay and gum disease. The best method of orthodontic treatment depends on the individual’s needs, age, and treatment goals, as well as how they want to proceed.

Orthodontics is the study and treatment of malocclusion of teeth or the improper alignment of teeth. Orthodontic dentistry is a branch of dentistry which focuses on diagnosing, managing, and correcting dental irregularities such as misaligned teeth or crowded teeth.

The purpose of orthodontic treatment is to:

Promote healthy teeth and gums
Improve the function of the teeth and jaws
Prevent problems that can occur with tooth crowding, like gum disease
Improve the aesthetics of a person’s smile

The aim of orthodontic treatment is to correct the alignment of teeth and jaws, so that the bite is improved and the teeth are healthy. At SP Smile, orthodontic treatments include Invisalign and Six Month Smiles.

Are orthodontics treatments right for you?

To answer this question, your dentist examines your dental records, performs a clinical assessment, takes X-rays of your mouth and head, and creates accurate impressions of your teeth. A treatment plan is formulated based on the results of this evaluation.

Orthodontics for Adults

There are several reasons why orthodontics is important for adults. Aesthetically and functionally, it’s important to have straight teeth as you age. Straight teeth avoid many problems such as tooth decay, gum disease, and a cracked roof of the mouth which can lead to pain in your ears or jawline among other things. Additionally, orthodontic treatment can improve the appearance of your face by reshaping the jaw, neck, and lips. Maxillofacial surgery can also be used in conjunction with orthodontic treatment in more extreme cases.

Factors to Consider

Orthodontic treatment has many benefits including improving appearance, but there are also risks involved. The patient should be aware that orthodontic treatment may not last forever, depending on their age when they start treatment and the severity of their problem. It is important for the patient to know what they can expect during this process before they decide whether or not they want it done.
