Orthodontics has been a dental specialty since the early 1900s with the goal of preventing, diagnosing, and treating dental and/or facial irregularities. There are many conditions that can be treated with orthodontics. While orthodontics can improve self-confidence by correcting things like crooked teeth, treating and correcting these conditions is not just cosmetic. Orthodontic problems can cause many issues including hindering chewing and speaking. Some conditions can lead to tooth decay and gum disease if left untreated.
Braces apply constant pressure to the bones to gradually move the teeth. This is known as bone remodeling. The process is slow and involves shifting the teeth over time while allowing the jawbone and surrounding tissues to adjust with the changes and reform in the proper alignment. Think about dentists and orthodontists as you would any medical specialtydiagnose, and treat dental and facial abnormalities.
