What is Orthodontic Treatment?
Orthodontics is a unique branch of dental medicine that exclusively focuses on tooth alignment and the position of one’s jaw. Professionals who provide such treatments are considered specialists due to the additional knowledge they possess and the extra years of schooling they complete after general dental school.
Most orthodontic services are a long-term commitment. The results that patients desire require time, patience, and a commitment to daily hygiene. Otherwise, issues like cavities or tooth discoloration can arise and hinder your progress.
Before you acquire any form of advanced care, you’ll need to meet with an orthodontist near you. During this one-on-one session, they will take x-rays, examine your oral cavity, and talk about your goals. All this information allows them to recommend the most appropriate course of action.
What Treatments are Available?
The following are some of the most common orthodontic services:
- Traditional braces (metal)
- Ceramic braces
- Lingual braces
- Invisalign
- Retainers
If you have questions about any of this, give your local dentist or orthodontic a call.
