Frequent concerns treated with orthodontics
The most frequent concerns treated with orthodontics are misaligned teeth, misaligned jaw, and teeth that grow in incorrectly. Braces and other dental appliances are used to move the teeth into the correct position slowly or to help the jaw remain in the correct position. This can reduce pain, ensure there is enough room for all teeth, and help ensure ongoing dental health. In more extreme cases, jaw surgery may be required to align the upper and lower jaw correctly. It is most certainly easier to correct teeth framework as early as childhood when teeth might not be fully grown. Call us if you have any of the mentioned issues.
Dental health concerns can affect whole body health, so it is important to care for dental health not only by cleaning and flossing, but also by ensuring that teeth are lined up for proper chewing and that the jaw is aligned correctly. When these things are not correct, there can be headaches, jaw pain, trouble chewing, and teeth growing in the wrong places, more teeth cavities, can also affect appearance and confidence. Having these corrected with orthodontics can help to ensure there is room for all adult teeth, that no teeth become impacted and reduce both cavities and infections, reduce pain in the jaw and head, and improve confidence throughout life. You can call our emergency dental clinic any time for more information.
The most common appliances used include braces and retainers. While braces can assist in slowly moving teeth into the proper places and ensure they are facing the right direction, without proper follow up teeth may move back to their original position over time. Braces have traditionally been metal frames applied to the teeth with bond and use elastics to change the position of the teeth, but more often clear liners are being used. For this reason it can take months to slowly get teeth in the proper position, and years to keep them there. Braces will need to be adjusted every few weeks, and a retainer will be used either consistently both day and night being removed only for eating and brushing, or just overnight to maintain the work that has been accomplished. In some more exceptional cases, headgear may be used to help align the jaw correctly in conjunction with braces that will be helping to align the teeth correctly. It may be necessary to remove teeth to create enough space for the new teeth or to reduce crowding and make enough room for the other teeth to be adjusted.
Due to the time frame needed for treatments to be successful and the number of visits for adjustments and the follow up and maintenance, it is necessary to be comfortable with both the dental clinic and the dentist themselves. Dr. Andre Hughes and his team provide orthodontic treatment in Toronto and will explain your options and what to expect before treatment starts. You can book your appointment at (647) 363-7764.
