What are Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a particular branch of dentistry specializing in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of irregularities in the mouth, teeth, and jaws. Crowding and spacing are the most common reasons for seeking out orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic treatment is carried out by an Orthodontist, who ordinarily has completed two or three years of further training beyond dental school. Through the use of braces, retainers, and other orthodontic devices, orthodontics helps to straighten teeth and correct the way the jaws line up.

What Irregularities Does an Orthodontist Treat?

  • Overbite: The upper jaw extends too far over the lower jaw
  • Underbite: The lower jaw extends over the upper jaw
  • Crossbite: The upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth
  • Upper front teeth protrusion: Either the upper teeth extend too far or the owner teeth do not extend far enough
  • Spacing: There is too much room between teeth, or teeth are missing entirely
  • Crowding: The teeth do not have enough room to erupt
  • Open Bite: There is no overlap between the upper and lower front teeth
