Root Canal Treatments

Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on aligning your bite and straightening your teeth to improve both function and appearance.
You may need to see an orthodontist if you have crooked, overlapped, twisted, or gapped teeth, or issues with your bite alignment.
Proper orthodontic treatment helps improve chewing efficiency, speech, and long-term oral health.
Common orthodontic treatments include traditional metal braces, clear aligners, and removable retainers, depending on individual needs and preferences.

Who needs orthodontic treatment and when to start?

Who?

Almost everyone can gain some benefit from orthodontics. But some people need treatment more than others. Many people seek orthodontic treatment because they want to improve the appearance of their smile. But in addition to cosmetic benefits, orthodontics offers improved chewing function and better oral health.

When?

Children should have their first orthodontic visit no later than the age of 7. While many children won’t need treatment at this age, it’s a good time to find out if there are any issues to watch out for. Often, children who need early orthodontic treatment can reduce their need for extensive dental procedures in the future.

Common orthodontic problems

Common teeth and jaw alignment issues that affect oral health and often require professional orthodontic care.

1 Overbite

Occurs when upper teeth excessively overlap lower teeth, affecting bite function, facial balance, and overall appearance.

2 Underbite

Happens when lower teeth extend beyond upper teeth, often causing chewing difficulty and jaw discomfort.

3 Overlapping Teeth

Teeth overlap due to lack of space, making cleaning difficult and increasing the risk of tooth decay.

4 Crowded Teeth

Caused by insufficient jaw space, leading to misalignment and difficulty maintaining oral hygiene.

5 Crooked Teeth

Teeth grow at incorrect angles, impacting appearance, bite alignment, and overall oral health.

6 Rotated Teeth

Teeth twist out of position, affecting smile symmetry and making proper cleaning more challenging.

7 Impacted Teeth

Teeth remain partially or fully trapped in the jawbone, often requiring orthodontic or surgical intervention.
