WHAT IS ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT?

At its core, orthodontic treatment is a branch of dentistry that uses high-tech appliances to apply finely-calibrated, gentle forces to the teeth. Over time, the teeth and underlying tissues respond to these forces, and the teeth slowly shift positions, creating a new alignment and a brand new smile. The specifics of the process vary between orthodontic treatments, but the underlying principles are about the same: use gentle, constant force to move the teeth to new positions and achieve a new smile.

WHAT CAN ORTHODONTICS TREAT?

Ultimately, all orthodontic treatments work to help patients achieve a healthy, beautiful smile – but there are a number of specific orthodontic problems, called malocclusions (bad bites), that orthodontics can treat. Malocclusions vary from patient to patient and may be caused by genetics or early childhood habits like prolonged thumb sucking, and it's possible for a patient to have more than one malocclusion at the same time. Here are the most common conditions that orthodontics can treat:

  • Crowding (crooked teeth)
  • Overbite
  • Underbite
  • Crossbite
  • Protruding Front Teeth
  • Mismatched Dental Midlines
  • Open bite

TYPES OF ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT

There are several options available for orthodontic treatment, each with its own unique strengths and weaknesses. Treatments vary in convenience, reliability, and appearance, and ultimately only you and Dr. Brieden can decide on the right treatment for your unique situation.
