ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT
Orthodontic treatment is not just for straightening your teeth and making you look good. Teeth alignment has a direct effect on your jaw structure and form. It causes bone damage, gum diseases, eating disorders, and speech problems.
Who Needs Teeth Straightening?
Crooked teeth, wide gaps, crowding, and misalignment are just some of the problems that your orthodontist can help treat. If left untreated, these problems lead to major dental and oral problems. Not to mention, it affects your confidence and self-esteem and annihilates your social life.
When do you need to see an Orthodontist?
An orthodontist specialises in teeth alignment, bite correction, and the overall aesthetics of your dental structure. The medical term for problems with the development of your teeth and their alignment is called malocclusion. Even though malocclusion has no negative impact on your physical health, it is an eyesore. It makes you feel embarrassed when smiling or laughing. Severe cases also lead to jaw deformities and chewing difficulties. Some of the common orthodontic problems are:
A gap between the lower and upper teeth that do not allow them to meet when biting or closing your mouth is called an openbite. It usually occurs in younger children but can persist in adults in some cases.

Orthodontic problems are usually hereditary. They can also occur from the prolonged use of a pacifier, bottle feeding, and thumb sucking when young. Other reasons include injuries or medical conditions. Improper dental treatment like poorly fitted dentures or braces can also lead to misaligned teeth and jaw problems. Malocclusion also leads to difficulties in oral hygiene because of the unnatural position of the teeth. It can also lead to tooth decay and cavities. Orthodontic treatments work not only as a cosmetic procedure to correct your teeth alignment but also as a preventive measure against a whole host of dental problems.
