Orthodontics

Endodontics is a speciality in dentistry that deals with your crooked and misaligned teeth which can be corrected to perfection. We have different types of braces to fit your needs.

The 3 stages of orthodontic treatment:

-Space is created in mouth for arrangement of teeth.
-The braces are attached to teeth for tooth movement.
-Braces are replaced with retainers.

Why should you go for braces or aligners:

  • Teeth that are overlapping and “ crowded” are difficult to clean, putting you at a risk of cavities and gum disease.
  • Many times the overlapping teeth can cause decay in the adjacent tooth too.
  • Teeth that are protruding are often prone to injuries.
  • Spacing in between teeth leads to early bone loss, and loss of support, causing early loss of teeth.
  • Jaw growth discrepancies may affect the jaw joint (TMJ) causing a chronic pain or Temporo Mandibular Disorder (TMD).
  • Teeth alignment problems cause decay, bad breath and gum disease.
  • Teeth alignment also affect the facial appearance.

When should treatment begin?

Ideally the orthodontic treatment should begin between the ages 10 and 14. This is when a child’s head and mouth are still growing and teeth are easier to straighten, treatment duration will be 8 months to 16 months based upon the severity of the condition. Certain jaw growth problems can be handled simply in mixed dentition period, before the permanent teeth erupt hence the treatment can begin at an early age of 6.

But it’s can be done at any age “ better late than never”.
