Orthodontic Dentistry
Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry
that specializes in the diagnosis, prevention
and treatment of dental and facial irregularities.
These includes treatment of different conditions:
|
|
Orthodontists requires professional skill in the design,
application and control of corrective appliances, such
as braces and retainers, to bring teeth, lips and jaws
into proper alignment and to achieve facial balance.
The results of orthodontic treatment can be dramatic
— beautiful smiles, improved dental health and an enhanced
quality of life for many people of all ages. Outstanding
results are also dependent on maximizing the coordination
of care between you and our practice.
Types of Orthodontic Treatments

|
|
| The metal brackets on braces can now
be done clear or colored, depending
on the patient's preference. Clear
braces makes wearing braces less
noticeable. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Lingual
braces are attached to the inside
or lingual side of the teeth which makes
them completely non-visible. Lngual
orthodontics particularly well-suited
for adults whose professions keep them
in the public eyes. |

| Invisalign
uses a series of clear removable aligners
to straighten your teeth without metal
wires or brackets. This is an invisible
way to straighten your teeth without
braces |

Retainers |
| A retainer is a custom-made, removable
appliance that help teeth to maintain
their new position after braces have
been removed. Retainers can also be
used to treat minor orthodontic problems |

Signs for Early Orthodontic Examinations
- Early or late loss of baby teeth
- Difficulty in chewing or biting
- Mouth breathing
- Crowding, misplaced or blocked out
teeth
- Jaws that shift or make sounds
- Biting the cheek or roof of the
mouth
- Teeth that meet or bite abnormally
or not at all
- Jaws and teeth that are out
of proportion to the rest of the face
Benefits of Early Detection for Orthodontic Treatment
A check-up with an orthodontist no later than age 7
for children who enable the orthodontist to detect and
evaluate problems (if any), advise if treatment will
be necessary, and determine the best time for that patient
to be treated. Patients who have clear indications for
early orthodontic intervention, early treatment presents
an opportunity to:
- Guide the growth of the jaw
- Regulate the width of the upper
and lower dental arches
- Guide incoming permanent teeth
into desirable positions
- Lower risk of trauma (accidents)
to protruded upper incisors (front teeth)
- Correct harmful oral habits
- Reduce or eliminate abnormal swallowing
or speech problems
- Improve personal appearance and
self-esteem
- Potentially simplify and/or shorten
treatment time for later corrective orthodontics
- Reduce likelihood of impacted permanent
teeth
- Preserve or gain space for permanent
teeth that are coming in
Healthy teeth can be moved at almost any age. Many
orthodontic problems can be corrected for adults as
children. Orthodontic forces move the teeth in the same
way for both a 75-year-old adult and a 12-year-old child.
However for adults, complicating factors such as lack
of jaw growth, may create special treatment planning
needs.
