Patients must consult a certified orthodontist first to determine which type of treatment suits their needs.
Orthodontic issues typically come about during the early stages of childhood as this is the time the tooth develops, erupts in the mouth, and forms a permanent alignment. This doesn't mean that adults cannot undergo orthodontic treatments as practitioners worldwide consider age as less significant than having the proper number of teeth in perfect alignment.
Generally, the prime objective of orthodontics is to help a patient achieve straight teeth or maintain a balanced facial profile. Orthodontic conditions vary and so do its treatments. Thanks to the advances in dental technology, teeth removal isn't always necessary for orthodontic treatment.
An orthodontic treatment can be implemented using a wide range of appliances, commonly known as braces, which are removable, fixed, or functional. It specifically corrects misaligned teeth or bite problems (malocclusion) such as upper front teeth protrusion, crossbite, overbite, openbite, overcrowding, spacing, and dental midlines.
Before proceeding to the actual orthodontic treatment, one important thing to note is the preliminary examination. This involves an intensive review of the medical and dental history of the patient to help the orthodontist tailor a specific treatment plan.
