Orthodontics

OVERVIEW-Orthodontics

Dental treatment that corrects teeth alignment . Treatment is usually done by fixed or removal braces. The ideal age for starting orthodontic treatment is 8-14 years while growth is still happening. Teeth can be moved by Fixed or Removable appliance. In some cases, extraction of teeth can be done where crowding is present.

DESCRIPTION

For adult patient, Retainers are necessary after ortho treatment or dental braces. Correct alignment of upper teeth over the lower is called occlusion or bite. Malocclusion is often hereditary and occasionally owes to prolonged habits like thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, cheek biting, mouth breathing, etc. and it has deleterious effects. Correct angulation of teeth and vertical orientation of teeth is imperative for proper chewing, protection of cheeks, gums, tongue, maintenance of facial profile.

By treating moderate or severe malocclusion, the teeth are easier to clean and there is less risk of tooth decay and gum diseases (gingivitis or periodontitis),proper chewing of food also helps in good digestion and maintain good health. Treatment eliminates strain on the teeth, jaws, and muscles, which lessens the risk of breaking a tooth and may reduce symptoms of upper lower jaw( temporomandibular) joint disorders.
