What is Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontics is the art of aligning the teeth and jaws to improve the patient’s smile and oral health. Orthodontics is a specialist branch of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis, prevention and correction of dental, facial irregularities occurring as a result of:
- A bad bite or malocclusion
- Missing or extra teeth
- Misaligned teeth
- Crooked teeth
- Crowed teeth
- An overbite
- An underbite
- Misaligned jaw position
- A disorder of the jaw joint
How do orthodontists straighten teeth?
Orthodontists use braces and other orthodontic alternatives to gradually reposition the teeth and jaw to achieve an optimum bite, improving the patient’s appearance and health. Braces are brackets attached to the teeth and connected by arch wire that gently guide crooked teeth into the correct positions.
Why is straightening your teeth important?
If left untreated, malocclusions or “bad bites” can lead to gum disease, tooth decay, tooth loss, digestive problems and other health issues. Also, straightening your teeth can improve your appearance and self-esteem.
What causes orthodontic problems?
Orthodontic problems are typically inherited, but they can also be acquired by developmental factors. Some of the most commonly inherited conditions include crooked teeth, crowded teeth and other irregularities of the teeth and jaw. Acquired problems can be caused by developmental factors such as thumb sucking, mouth breathing, and the premature loss of baby or permanent teeth.
How much do orthodontic treatments usually cost?
The cost of treatment depends on numerous factors, including the complexity, method and estimated length of treatment. So, treatment costs for individual cases will vary. Correcting an orthodontic problem early can be far more cost-effective than treating the more serious problems it can cause over the years.
How long do orthodontic treatments usually last?
Generally, orthodontic treatments usually last from 18 to 30 months, with the average treatment taking 24 months. Length of treatment depends on the severity of the problem, the proposed treatment plan, the patient’s cooperation and other factors.
How do I take care of my braces?
As always, it’s very important to practice good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing after every meal. Hard and sticky foods should be avoided since they can damage your braces. Be sure to keep all of your orthodontic appointments and follow the instructions and recommendations given by your orthodontist.

What is Implant Dentistry
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root surgically placed directly into the jawbone where a tooth is missing. A dental implant acts as an anchor for a bridge, replacement tooth, or a set of replacement teeth. Implants provide a good alternative to crowns and bridges due to the fact they are in no way attached to neighboring teeth and thus look and feel like natural teeth.
The benefits of dental implants:
- Implants can last a lifetime and do not decay
- Implants integrate into your bone and prevent the bone loss and gum recession that can occur with other types of tooth replacement
- Implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth
- Implants don’t harm your neighboring teeth
How Are Dental Implants Placed ?
What Are Replacement Teeth Made Of?
The type of replacement teeth that are used in dental implant restoration will depend on the patient’s individual needs and goals. If the patient is missing only one tooth, then a dental crown is typically used. Dental bridges may be utilized if more than one tooth is being replaced. In all cases, the dentist will strive to provide the most natural-looking and effective dental implant restoration possible.
What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry blends function with beauty by combining tooth reconstruction with plastic surgery procedures on the mouth tissues (gums, jawbones, facial muscles, lips, and skin) to result in a better-looking smile
