Orthodontics

Orthodontic treatment is beneficial for individuals of all ages who have issues with the alignment of their teeth or jaws. Orthodontic treatment can relieve a variety of dental issues whether they are functional, aesthetic, or for other multi-disciplinary dental treatments. Common dental issues which would require orthodontic treatment include

• Crowding of teeth,
• Spacing between teeth,
• Overbite (when upper teeth overlap the lower teeth a lot),
• Crossbite (when upper teeth are inside of lower teeth),
• Ectopically erupting teeth,
• Protusive teeth,
• Excessive or deficient chin,
• Mismatch of jaw bone and position,
• Disorders of the TM Joint,
• Habitual teeth grinding,
• Speech problems or
• Difficulty in cleaning the teeth properly etc.

1. Improved chewing and digestion: Correctly positioned teeth facilitate efficient food breakdown, reducing the risk of digestive issues like indigestion or constipation.
2. Enhanced speech clarity: Well-aligned teeth contribute to clearer articulation and enunciation, making communication easier.
3. Boosted self-confidence: A beautiful smile can significantly impact a person’s confidence and self-esteem, which often translates to various aspects of their life.
4. Reduced tooth wear: Misaligned bites can lead to uneven enamel wear due to abnormal forces on certain areas during chewing or grinding habits. Proper orthodontics helps distribute these forces more evenly.
