What is Orthodontics treatment?

Orthodontics treatment at PMDC Dental is the specialized area of dentistry that diagnoses and corrects crooked and misplaced teeth. A specialist in this field is called an orthodontist. Teeth that are crooked or don't fit together correctly are harder to keep clean, putting you at risk for cavities and gum disease. Orthodontics treatment can improve both the appearance of your mouth and face, and the function of your jaws. The benefits of orthodontic treatment include a healthier mouth, a more pleasing appearance, and teeth that are more likely to last a lifetime. It is possible for orthodontic treatment to be carried out at any age, if the mouth and teeth are healthy. The earlier that treatment commences, the greater the chance of a very satisfactory outcome. 

The most common orthodontic treatment is braces. There are different types of braces. The most common are metal or plastic brackets attached to the front surface of the teeth. Braces consist of bands, wires and brackets. Braces are usually adjusted monthly to bring about the desired results, which may be achieved within a few months to a few years. Practicing good oral care while wearing braces helps protect your teeth and gums. It can also cut down on the amount of time you need to wear braces.

Braces are attached to your teeth by strong adhesive, but may become loose as a result of eating certain foods. Avoid foods like popcorn, corn on the cob, chewing gum, whole apples, and other sticky foods.  While wearing braces, special attention needs to be given to cleaning your teeth and the orthodontic appliance. It is important to rinse thoroughly after meals to remove any food particles.
