What is Orthodontic Treatment?
Orthodontic treatment is a way of straightening or moving teeth to improve the appearance of teeth and how they work. It can also help maintain the long-term health of your teeth, gums and jaw joints by spreading the bite pressure to all your teeth.
Why Should I Have Orthodontic Treatment?
Many people have crowded or crooked teeth. Orthodontic treatment will straighten or put the teeth in a better position. This improves the appearance of the teeth and the way the teeth stick together, while also making them easier to clean.
Some people's upper front teeth are protruding and unappealing. These 'dislocated' teeth are more likely to be damaged, but orthodontic treatment can bring them back into alignment. Or the way the upper and lower jaws come together can cause the teeth to look unsightly and to bite incorrectly. Orthodontic treatment can correct both of these problems.
When teeth don't meet properly, this can strain the jaw muscles, causing jaw and joint problems and sometimes headaches. Orthodontic treatment can help you bite more evenly and reduce tension.
At What Age Should I Have Orthodontic Treatment?
The best time is usually in childhood, but adults can also get orthodontic treatment – and more and more people are doing it. Age is less important than having the right number of teeth. In children, it may be necessary to wait for sufficient teeth to erupt before starting treatment.
Who Does Orthodontics?
Your dentist can perform orthodontic treatment. Or they can send you to a specialist with extra qualifications. The specialist may be in a practice or hospital department and is called an orthodontist.
What Does It Contain?
The most important thing is to get a full examination. This usually includes looking at your teeth, taking dental X-rays, and making plaster models of your teeth.
Your dental team or orthodontist will then discuss what treatment is possible. Once you are sure you want to continue, you can begin treatment as soon as you have enough permanent teeth.
