Feature

Expertise

Braces and Clear Aligners

Traditional Braces: Orthodontists are experts in fitting and adjusting metal or ceramic braces, which use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into proper alignment.

Clear Aligners: They can provide alternatives to traditional braces, such as Invisalign or other clear aligner systems, which are custom-made plastic trays that gradually shift teeth into position without the visibility of metal braces.

Correcting Malocclusions (Bite Issues)

Overbite, Underbite, Crossbite, and Open Bite: Orthodontists can correct issues where the teeth or jaws are misaligned, leading to bite problems. Treatment can involve braces, appliances, or even surgical procedures.

Overcrowding: If teeth are crowded due to lack of space in the mouth, orthodontists can use braces or clear aligners to move the teeth into better positions.

Jaw Alignment

Orthognathic Surgery: In some cases, orthodontists work in conjunction with oral surgeons to correct jaw misalignments. This may involve surgical procedures to realign the upper and lower jaws (for conditions like severe overbites or underbites that cannot be corrected with braces alone).

Functional Appliances: They use devices like headgear or expansion devices to help align the jaw and correct growth discrepancies in children and teens.

Space Maintainers

For children who lose baby teeth early, orthodontists can place space maintainers to prevent the adjacent teeth from drifting and blocking the eruption of permanent teeth.

Early Intervention and Preventive Treatment

Orthodontists often begin working with children as early as age 7 to address potential bite issues or crowding early. This can prevent more serious problems in the future and may involve the use of expanders, palatal retainers, or functional appliances.

Retention After Treatment

After completing orthodontic treatment (like braces or clear aligners), orthodontists provide retainers to ensure the teeth stay in their new positions. They monitor the use of retainers to prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions.

Cosmetic Improvement of Smiles

Orthodontists not only focus on function but also the aesthetic appearance of a patient's smile, ensuring the teeth are straight and the bite is aligned in a way that improves both facial appearance and self-confidence.

Teeth Alignment for Better Functionality

Orthodontic treatments can improve overall oral health by making teeth easier to clean, reducing the risk of gum disease and cavities. Proper alignment can also reduce stress on teeth, gums, and jaws, preventing issues like tooth wear and jaw pain.

Treatment for Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders

Orthodontists can help in the diagnosis and management of TMJ issues, which may result from misalignments in the bite or jaw. Treatment might involve using appliances to alleviate pain or discomfort.

Dental Discrepancies Due to Habits

They can address issues caused by oral habits, such as thumb sucking or tongue thrusting, that can lead to bite problems or tooth misalignment.
