Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontic treatment is a type of dental care that focuses on straightening and realigning the teeth and jaws to improve the appearance of the smile and the overall function of the mouth. This treatment is designed to correct bite and alignment issues that can cause pain, discomfort and many other oral health problems. In this article, we will discuss the basics of orthodontic treatment and the various options available.

Braces: Braces are the most common form of orthodontic treatment. They consist of metal or ceramic brackets attached to the teeth, a wire and elastic bands that apply pressure to encourage the teeth to move into the proper position. Braces can be used to treat a wide variety of orthodontic issues including overbite, underbite, crossbite and misaligned teeth.

Clear Plaques: Clear aligners are a newer type of orthodontic treatment that consists of a series of clear plastic trays that sit over the teeth. Aligners apply gentle pressure to gradually move the teeth into the desired position. Clear aligners are a popular alternative to traditional braces, as they are virtually invisible and can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing.

Retainers: Retainers are used after orthodontic treatment is completed to help maintain the new position of the teeth. Retainers are typically worn for several hours each day and can be removed or fixed to the teeth.

Surgery: In severe cases, orthodontic surgery may be recommended to correct bite and alignment problems. This type of surgery may involve realigning the jawbones and repositioning the teeth to achieve a more functional and aesthetically pleasing result.

As a result, orthodontic treatment is a highly effective way to improve the appearance and function of teeth and jaws.
