What is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating irregularities in the teeth and jaws. This includes correcting misaligned teeth, bite problems (malocclusion), and jaw misalignment. Orthodontic treatment, using appliances like braces or clear aligners, aims to improve both the appearance and function of your smile, making it easier to chew, speak, and maintain good oral hygiene.

Do I Need Orthodontic Treatment?

Some of the situations when your orthodontic provider recommends braces include:

  • Crowding
  • Crooked or rotated teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Open bites, underbites, overbites, and crossbites
  • Overall misalignment

Orthodontic ® FAQs

If you have any questions about Orthodontics, we’ve got answers.

Do I still need to see my dentist for checkups when I have braces?

Yes. It’s important to plan regular six-month checkups while you’re in braces. In fact, some people benefit from more frequent dental cleanings (every 3-4 months) because of the extra appliances that collect buildup throughout the day.

When should someone get orthodontic treatment?

Specialists recommend that children receive their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7 when they have a combination of both adult and baby teeth. Early intervention allows for corrections while the jaws are still developing, reducing the need for corrective surgery later on. However, adults and teens also make excellent orthodontic candidates in most cases.

What do orthodontists do?

Orthodontists are specialists when it comes to correcting malocclusion issues, tooth misalignment, and other orthognathic bite concerns. They offer a wide variety of orthodontic treatments ranging from traditional braces and clear aligners to interceptive growth modification.
