Many patients are concerned about the aesthetics of their smile, whether due to the color of their teeth, malpositions, missing teeth or wear.
Orthodontics is a treatment capable of normalizing the position of the teeth and, where appropriate, improving the relationship between the upper and lower parts of the mouth so that they fit together well.
In Children Or Adolescents
In children or adolescents, it is possible to act on the bones that support the teeth to coordinate growth when the problem is skeletal. In this way, through dentofacial orthopedics, the jaws can be harmonized and subsequent orthodontic treatment will be much easier.
In Adult Patients
In adult patients, we cannot modify growth since it has already finished, but more and more people at any age are turning to orthodontics to improve their smile. In these cases, if there is an imbalance in the skeleton, an attempt is made to camouflage it by modifying the position of the teeth, and orthodontics also works as a complement to other procedures to restore dental size and function.
This way, we benefit from the rest of dental treatments with greater guarantees. For example, we can close spaces of lost teeth or straighten tilted teeth, and be able to place implants in ideal conditions, replacing extracted pieces.
Help in Improving the Smile
And although improving the smile is what concerns us most, since aesthetics is what the patient usually values, well-aligned teeth provide other benefits to the health of your mouth and your general well-being. When there is crowding, food retention is frequent and uncomfortable.
Once corrected, hygiene will be much easier, since we avoid nooks and crannies and places that are less accessible to the brush. In addition to the fact that cleaning will be simpler and more effective, this better control of bacterial plaque will make us less susceptible to cavities and gum disease, so we can maintain healthy teeth and prolong their survival.
The physiology of the masticatory system itself has self-cleaning mechanisms, which will work better with a normalized occlusion, with a balanced distribution of contacts when biting and a correct function of the perioral muscles and tongue.
Likewise, by placing the teeth physiologically, these well-distributed contacts make chewing mechanically more effective with the least possible wear, withstanding the passage of time much better and minimizing natural deterioration.
On the other hand, by obtaining a harmonious relationship between the teeth and the face, our appearance improves. Many studies show that a beautiful and healthy smile increases self-esteem; and from a psychological point of view, factors such as sociability and confidence are clearly reinforced in people who smile without complexes.
