Orthodontics

Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, as the specialty is called, is the branch of dentistry that specializes in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. The technical term for these problems is “malocclusion,” which means “bad bite.” The practice of orthodontics requires professional skill in the design, application and control of corrective appliances (braces) to bring teeth, lips and jaws into proper alignment and achieve facial balance.

Your dentist may have discussed the benefits of having healthy teeth and proper jaw alignment with you. Crooked and crowded teeth are harder to clean and maintain. This can result in tooth decay, gum disease and lead to tooth loss. Other orthodontic problems can contribute to abnormal wear of tooth surfaces, inefficient chewing function, excessive stress on gum tissue and the bone that supports the teeth. Treatment by an orthodontist can be less costly than the additional care required treating dental problems that result from orthodontic problems.

Who is an Orthodontist?

An Orthodontist is a highly trained specialist who has not only graduated as a dental surgeon but has returned to University for post-graduate training on a full-time basis. Post-graduate training lasts a minimum of 36 months with rigorous hands on training and participation in research projects. Your orthodontist will work with your dentist to provide you with the best treatment plan to suit your needs.

Orthodontists are specialists who are trained to specifically treat growth related jaw problems, problems associated with bad bite and surgical procedures which require complicated jaw corrections. They are trained in a wide range of techniques and limit their practice exclusively to orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics. They are therefore in the best position to provide optimal care to treat orthodontic problems.

Why choose an Orthodontist?

How Orthodontic Treatment works?

The treatment aims at correcting the jaw and teeth discrepancies provided the diagnosis is done at the right age. Orthodontic appliances can be made of metal, ceramic or plastic materials. They may be removable or they may be brackets (clips) fixed to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, the appliances slowly move teeth to a corrected position.

There are a lot of changes in orthodontics and this is a great time to wear braces! Gone are the days when metal band with a bracket was placed around each tooth. You can choose brackets that are clear or metallic in appearance. Wires are also less noticeable than they used to be and the latest materials move teeth faster with less discomfort to patients.

One of the most important considerations before start of the treatment is the time taken for the completion of it. Treatment time typically varies, depending on the patient’s growth and the severity of the problem. The patient’s cooperative behaviour of any prescribed instructions is an important factor in achieving the most efficient treatment. Early treatment procedures may take less time or longer duration depending on the severity of the problem. The fixed braces treatment may usually lasts for 18-24 months based on patient’s malocclusion.
