When it comes to orthodontic treatment we ask ourselves the following questions:
Are orthodontics necessary?
How to know if braces are needed?
When to start orthodontics?
If you are interested in knowing the answers to these questions, we have them here for you.
What is orthodontics?
Orthodontics is the specialty of dentistry that diagnoses, prevents and treats dental irregularities.
If you or your child have any of these signs or concerns, it is time to schedule an appointment with a specialist:
• Early or late loss of baby teeth
• Difficulty chewing, biting or speech
• Mouth breathing
• Oral habits like sucking the thumb or fingers
• Protruding, crowded, misplaced or blocked-out teeth
• Teeth that meet in an abnormal way or don’t meet at all
• Jaws that shift, make sounds, protrude or are recessed
• Biting the cheek
• Facial imbalance or asymmetry
• Grinding or clenching of teeth
• Inability to comfortably close lips
Why is orthodontics important?
Orthodontics is a treatment that ensures proper functioning of teeth and better smiles.
Teeth that are misaligned are more difficult to clean and actions such as biting, chewing and speaking lose functionality.
