Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontic treatment consists of straightening or moving teeth to enhance their appearance and function. This can also help to maintain the long-term health of your teeth, gums and jaw joints since the biting force is distributed evenly over your teeth. The treatment that you need depends largely on your orthodontist. By studying your mouth and teeth carefully and using diagnostic tools like clinical exams, plastic models, and X-rays, your orthodontist will create a treatment plan that is right for you
What are the benefits of orthodontic treatment?
A large number of people suffer from crowded or crooked teeth. Orthodontic treatment adjusts the position of the teeth or straightens them. Having them reshaped can improve their appearance and the way they bite together. This will also be easier to clean as well.
Often, people’s upper front teeth stick out, making them appear unsightly. The ‘prominent’ teeth are more susceptible to damage, but orthodontic treatment can reposition them. A poorly positioned upper or lower jaw can create an unsightly appearance and lead to an incorrect bite. Orthodontic treatment will be able to improve both of these problems.
A misaligned set of teeth can lead to pain in the joints and muscles of the jaw, as well as headaches and migraines. Orthodontic treatment in Kukatpally can help you with biting or chewing more evenly and reduce the strain.
How to know if you need orthodontic treatment?
- Overbite: An upper front tooth sticks out over a lower front tooth.
- Underbite: Upper teeth appear too far back, while lower teeth are set forward.
- Open bite: There is sometimes a vertical gap between the lower and upper front teeth when biting down.
- Crossbite: If your upper teeth are positioned behind your lower teeth when your mouth is closed, you have a crossbite.
- Spacing: It seems like your mouth doesn’t completely fill up with your teeth. There seem to be random gaps between them.
- Crowding: In order for all of your teeth to fit in your mouth, the dental ridge must be expanded.
