When Is Orthodontic Treatment Needed?

You may be interested in orthodontic treatment if you experience one or more of the following:

• Overbite: This occurs when the upper front teeth extend too much over the lower teeth.
• Underbite: This condition is characterised by the lower jaw’s teeth projecting too far forward or the upper teeth being too far back.
• Open Bite: A gap exists between the biting surfaces of the front teeth and/or the back teeth when the rear teeth are clenched.
• Asymmetrical Centre Line: This happens when the centreline of the upper front teeth does not align with the centreline of the lower front teeth.
• Uneven Spacing: This refers to gaps or spaces between the teeth due to missing teeth or teeth that don’t fully occupy the jaw.
• Crowding: This condition arises when there isn’t adequate space for the teeth on the dental ridge.

What Are The Benefits Of Orthodontic Treatment?

Orthodontic treatments like braces help move and align teeth that are crooked or that do not fit together right. 

By fixing these problems, teeth straightening treatments can: 

• Straighten Crooked Teeth: Orthodontic treatments effectively align and straighten crooked teeth, enhancing both their appearance and functionality.
• Improve Oral Health and Hygiene: By properly aligning your teeth, orthodontics eliminates hard-to-reach areas, making it easier to clean and reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
• Enhance Facial Aesthetics: Beyond the benefits to your teeth, orthodontics contributes to improved overall facial aesthetics by enhancing the symmetry and harmony of your smile.
• Boost Self-Confidence: A beautifully aligned smile can have a profound impact on your self-confidence, empowering you to face the world with a renewed sense of self-assurance.
