Orthodontic treatments
Orthodontic treatments, such as braces or clear aligners, correct misaligned teeth and bite irregularities. They straighten teeth, improve jaw alignment, and enhance both function and aesthetics. Traditional braces are among the more effective orthodontic treatments available today. The braces are composed of brackets that attach to the front of the teeth and wire that runs through them. The braces are permanently attached to your teeth, so they apply constant pressure on the teeth to help align, correct or close any gaps as quickly as possible. While pressure is applied to the teeth it is a gradual process that is typically painless. In most cases, any residual discomfort is far less than the pain of letting conditions such as underbites and overbites continue untreated. Braces not only improve the appearance of your smile and bite but also makes it easier to clean your teeth, prevent teeth grinding and abrasion, rectify jaw problems, and promote efficient chewing.
Some of the primary reasons for getting braces are:
- Straightening overcrowded or crooked teeth
- Rectifying excessive spacing between teeth
- Correcting a misaligned bite- Overbite or Underbite
- Improving speech impairment
- Reducing the risk of tooth decay and gum diseases
