Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatments often are assumed to only treat for cosmetic purposes however, this technique can provide more than aesthetic enhancement. For patients, adults and children who have crowded teeth, spaces, misaligned teeth and jaws, orthodontic therapy can help reduce the risk of tooth decay, gum disease and trauma due to protruding teeth. Furthermore, having misaligned teeth can have a significant impact on an individual’s self-esteem.
Candidates for Orthodontics
- If you are experiencing any of the following, you may be a candidate for orthodontics:
- Excessive spacing, gaps, or missing teeth
- Overcrowding or teeth pushed together, causing food being trapped or inability to clean your teeth properly
- Overbite, under-bite, or cross-bite, causing teeth to wear down or making eating and chewing difficult
- Problems with breathing, swallowing, chewing or biting.
- Poor self esteem due dissatisfaction with the appearance of your smile
- Pain in the neck or jaw
