Crooked Teeth and Bite Problems: More Than Just Aesthetics
Do you suffer from crooked, crowded, or misaligned teeth? In addition to being cosmetic issues, these dental concerns may have other effects on overall dental health and general well-being: improper bites may result in headaches, jaw aches, difficulty chewing, and a heightened risk of dental caries.
How Orthodontics can Make Over Your Mouth For a Healthier You.
Orthodontic care has an impact on fixing several dental problems such as:
- closing spaces between teeth
- aligning crooked or out-of-place teeth
- enhancing your bite or jaw position
- Improve talking and eating
- Keeping gums and teeth healthy
- Prevents excessive tooth wear
Orthodontic Appliances
Our dentist are equipped with the knowledge and specialized appliances for your oral health. After your check up they come up with a treatment plan specifically for you. We ensure that you know each detail to be dequately informed and assured.
Special Fixed Appliances
Orthodontic appliances are special devices used to straighten many dental irregularities. These appliances are normally worn for a specified period and play a very vital role in achieving perfect results.
Palatal Expanders
A palatal expander is used to increase the width of an overly narrow upper jaw. One appliance is utilized to correct crossbites and provide more space for crowded teeth. Attached to your roof of the mouth, this appliance gradually widens during treatment time until achieving the desired width.
Lip Bumpers
Lip bumpers are appliances that prevent, or at least limit, excessive pressures from the lips onto the teeth. They do so by pushing the lips outwards from the teeth with gentle pressures, hence correcting the lip habits and aligning the bite.
Jaw Repositioning Appliances
They are also called Herbst appliances. These appliances correct an underbite by repositioning the lower jaw forward. They are worn for a definite period and, in some cases, in conjunction with braces to get optimum results.
Headgear
Headgear, however, is a piece of orthodontic equipment used to apply gentle pressure to the teeth and jaw from outside the mouth. It is primarily worn in conjunction with braces to correct overbites or to restrain the growth of the upper jaw. There are several types of headgear appliances available, and all of them are employed on an individual case basis.
Removable Retainers
Wearing of retainers is necessary after the orthodontic treatment to maintain the results achieved. They are removable appliances that patients wear at the advice of their dentist or orthodontist to keep teeth from shifting back into their former position. They come in different designs, such as clear aligners and traditional wire retainers.
