Teeth Straightening

Orthodontic treatment can not only improve the appearance of your teeth but it can also improve the health of your teeth!

By undergoing orthodontic treatment and straightening your teeth, you are spreading the biting pressure more evenly across all of your teeth.

This in turn alleviates the strain on your jaw muscles, the same muscles that can often cause issues with your jaw joints.

Orthodontic treatment does not only improve the overall appearance of your teeth and smile, but it also helps to improve the long term health of your teeth!

By straightening your crowded or “crooked” teeth, orthodontic treatment will improve how your teeth bite together.

Often people’s teeth do not meet together correctly, but this puts unnecessary strain on your jaw muscles and also damages your teeth.

This can also lead to jaw joint problems which can sometimes also be accompanied by headaches.

There are a wide variety of dental problems that orthodontic treatment can solve. These include;

Crowding of the teeth. Crowding is often caused when there isn’t enough space for your teeth in your mouth. This can often be due to having a narrow jaw.

Protruding upper front teeth. Protruding teeth are one of the most common causes for the requirement of orthodontic treatment.

Impacted teeth. This is when some of your teeth grow in the wrong position, so they may not emerge as they should.

Asymmetrical or “crooked” teeth. This is when your upper and lower teeth do not match up together.

A deep bite is when your upper front teeth almost completely overlap the lower front teeth and a reverse bite is when your upper teeth bite inside of your lower teeth. An open bite is when your upper and lower front teeth do not touch when your jaw is closed normally.

Many people suffer with overcrowded teeth.

Often, we will be able to move your teeth to make room, but in some cases, some permanent teeth may need to be removed in order for there to be enough room.

This often only last for a short period of time as your teeth and mouth will quickly settle and adjust to the brace and usually, after just a couple of days, most discomfort will have subsided.

The cost of straightening your teeth will vary, depending on the type of orthodontic treatment and the severity of your case.

There are a multiple number of reasons as to why your teeth may have grown, be growing crooked or sit overcrowded.

They can be inherited from your parents. Often the children of parents that suffer with malformed jaws are more likely to have crooked teeth.

Sometimes, your baby teeth may fall our too early, this can also be a cause for crowded or crooked teeth.

Another common reason can be that your jaw is too small to accommodate for all of your adult teeth.
