Who is your Orthodontist?

Your orthodontist or dentist can help you with a variety of problems in your mouth. Irregularities in the teeth not only cause low self-esteem and insecurity because you can’t smile or laugh as heartily as you would want to, but it can also lead to other conditions. A misaligned jaw and teeth can also affect the way you talk, the way you chew, and even affect your breathing. Snoring, which is caused by a vibration in the soft palate can also be averted, if you have a perfect set of pearly whites. Sleep disturbances like sleep apnea, which is caused by an obstructed airway, can also be a consequence of having a misaligned jaw or teeth.

Some people are genetically inclined to have misaligned teeth and should seek an orthodontists in the early teens. Orthodontists can relieve infants who are born with cleft lips or cleft palates with the inconvenience of having those symptoms. If intervened early, other corrections in the future would take effect more evenly and quickly.

Studies have estimated that half of the American population has either irregular or misaligned teeth. Your dentist or orthodontist can plan and design a treatment that could not only give you a flawless smile, but change your face. In other cases, there are injuries caused by accidents that require professional treatment, by an orthodontist.

Orthodontic treatments are most commonly done by traditional braces, which would align the teeth to the desired position with the use of metal wires inserted into brackets, which can be either ceramic or steel. But technology had brought us breakthroughs with Invisalign. Your orthodontist or dentist can suggest and help you decide on other correction methods like retainers and other dental devices that would lead the growth of an incoming teeth or realign them, for an optimized smile.
