Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that people usually relate to fixed braces. Although, this field involves different treatments for jaw and tooth alignment issues. Most common dental problems that orthodontics can improve include crooked or crowded teeth, teeth with gaps in between, overbites, underbites, and a misaligned jaw. The primary purpose of orthodontics is to achieve occlusion with ideal alignment. Occlusion refers to how upper and lower teeth can come together when biting. Misalignments can impact not only the aesthetic of your appearance but the overall oral health, making it more likely for the teeth to get damaged down the line. The positioning of your teeth can influence your susceptibility to tooth decay and developing gum disease because it is challenging to brush and floss them thoroughly. If you think that you might benefit from orthodontics, the first step is to have a consultation with your dentist. During this initial consultation, your dentist or orthodontist will look carefully at your existing bite, X-rays, and any teeth that have yet to come in. With this information, they will decide on a future treatment plan to align your teeth in the position desired.
