Orthodontists are specially-trained dentists who use braces and other
appliances to overcome orthodontic problems that prevent patients from having healthy,
attractive smiles. Orthodontic problems may be inherited (crowding of teeth, crooked teeth,
protrusion, some jaw problems or acquired over time (thumb-sucking, poor oral
hygiene or nutrition, accidents, other medical situations.) Regardless of
their cause, most conditions can be treated and the improvement is remarkable. Orthodontic treatment for children and adults is very important, as overlapping or crowded teeth are
difficult to care for and may result in gum disease, tooth decay or even tooth
loss. Malocclusions or “bad bites” can contribute to excessive wear of
teeth, jaw joint problems or difficulty in chewing and speaking. The goal of
orthodontic treatment is to correct these issues before more serious problems
occur. Often, corrective orthodontic treatment can be less expensive than
dental care down the road. Most importantly, at the end of treatment, the
patient is more confident and has a healthier smile.
