Orthodontics is the part of odontology which studies, prevents, diagnosis and treats the abnormities in shape, positions, relation and function of dental/maxilla/facial structures. It’s more than a perfect smile and excellent aesthetics.
The correction of tight, irregular, projecting or separated teeth is closely related to health, self-esteem and quality of life.
The benefits of orthodontics, or treatment through brakes, are many. For example:
- Aesthetics: The first and, probably, most determinant in a person’s decision to undergo an orthodontics treatment, is physical appearance.
- Bone and gums: Adequate occlusion and positioning of the teeth contributes to healthier bone and gums.
- Oral hygiene: Proper alignment of teeth facilitates hygiene of the oral cavity.
- The bite: Allows a better bite and corrects the malocclusions generated by pressure in the joint.
- Digestion: It improves the ability to chew, allowing better swallowing and digestion of food.
- Pronunciation: Misaligned teeth can cause pronunciation defects, a problem that can be improved and corrected with orthodontics.
- Injuries: Misaligned teeth can cause injuries to the tongue or mouth.
- Health: A person with beautiful teeth is going to work harder to maintain that privilege associated with oral health.
- Quality of life: A full smile enhances self-esteem and increases a person’s quality of life.
Orthodontics or brakes, as it’s usually called, can’t be done with a short treatment; it usually requires from 12 to 36 months and X-ray studies, as well as feedback from the patient to determinate exactly the work that will be done.
