When Should You Consider Orthodontic Treatment?
Orthodontic intervention may be recommended when you experience issues such as:
- Gaps or spacing between teeth
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Overbite (upper front teeth excessively overlap lower teeth)
- Underbite (lower front teeth protrude past upper teeth)
What Causes Misaligned Teeth?
Teeth can become misaligned due to a variety of reasons, including:
- Hereditary traits
- Poor oral habits such as thumb sucking or nail biting
- Early loss of baby or adult teeth
- Poor nutrition during development
- Improper dental care during growth
Benefits of Orthodontic Care
Correcting misalignment offers more than just cosmetic improvement. Some of the key benefits include:
- Easier brushing and flossing, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease
- Improved bite function, making chewing and speaking easier
- Reduced strain on the jaw, helping to prevent TMJ disorders
- Enhanced confidence with a straight, balanced smile
How Orthodontic Treatments Work
Orthodontic appliances gently and gradually apply pressure to reposition teeth into their ideal locations. Depending on the complexity of your case, your treatment might involve traditional braces, clear aligners, retainers, or a combination. Treatment duration varies, typically lasting from several months to a few years.
