Orthodontics
Orthodontics – Straighten Your Teeth and Improve Your Smile
Crooked, crowded, or misaligned teeth can affect more than just the appearance of your smile. They may also make cleaning difficult, affect your bite, and contribute to uneven pressure on the teeth. Orthodontic treatment helps gradually move teeth into more appropriate positions, improving alignment, bite function, and smile aesthetics.
At A & G Advanced Dental Care, orthodontic treatment is planned according to your individual dental condition, alignment concerns, bite, and treatment goals. Our aim is to help you achieve a healthier, more balanced, and confident smile.
What Is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a specialised area of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting irregularities in the position of teeth and the relationship between the upper and lower jaws.
Orthodontic treatment may be recommended for problems such as crowded teeth, spacing, crooked teeth, overbite, underbite, crossbite, or other alignment and bite concerns.
Depending on the patient’s age, dental condition, and treatment requirements, orthodontic treatment may involve traditional braces, tooth-coloured braces, or clear aligners. The appropriate option is selected after a detailed examination and treatment assessment.
Advanced Technologies for Comfortable Procedures
Modern orthodontic treatment can be supported by digital photographs, dental X-rays, intraoral scans, and other appropriate diagnostic tools. These records help the dentist assess tooth positions, bite relationships, and the supporting structures before treatment begins.
Where available and clinically appropriate, digital treatment planning and orthodontic simulations can also help visualise tooth movement and plan the stages of treatment. The treatment approach is selected according to the patient’s individual dental requirements.
Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment
- Straightens Crooked Teeth: Gradually moves teeth towards more appropriate positions.
- Improves Bite: Helps correct certain bite problems and improve the relationship between the upper and lower teeth.
- Reduces Crowding: Creates better alignment when teeth are overlapping or crowded.
- Closes Unwanted Gaps: Helps manage spaces between teeth when orthodontic treatment is appropriate.
- Supports Oral Hygiene: Straighter teeth can be easier to brush and clean effectively.
- Improves Smile Appearance: Creates a more balanced and harmonious smile.
- Supports Long-Term Oral Health: Proper alignment may help distribute biting forces more evenly and support easier maintenance.
Orthodontic Procedures Include
Orthodontic Consultation and Examination
Treatment begins with a detailed examination of the teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health. The dentist evaluates concerns such as crowding, spacing, crooked teeth, and bite irregularities to determine whether orthodontic treatment is appropriate.
Diagnostic Records and Treatment Planning
Dental photographs, X-rays, impressions, or digital scans may be taken to assess the position of the teeth and supporting structures. Based on these records, a personalised treatment plan is prepared with suitable treatment options and expected stages.
Selection of Braces or Clear Aligners
Depending on your dental condition and preferences, treatment may involve conventional braces, tooth-coloured braces, or clear aligners. The dentist explains the advantages, limitations, treatment requirements, and maintenance involved with the recommended option.
Placement of Orthodontic Appliances
For braces, brackets are carefully attached to the teeth and connected with orthodontic wires. For clear aligners, a series of custom-made aligners is provided to gradually guide the teeth through planned movements.
Regular Orthodontic Monitoring
Periodic appointments are important throughout treatment to monitor tooth movement and make necessary adjustments. For braces, wires or other components may be adjusted, while aligner patients may progress through their prescribed series as directed.
Bite and Alignment Refinement
As treatment progresses, the dentist evaluates tooth alignment and the relationship between the upper and lower teeth. Additional adjustments may be made to help achieve a stable and functional bite.
