Things Dental Braces Will Correct

By Ray Pope


If you're having issues with the alignment of your teeth, then consulting with an orthodontist might provide the answers you need. Braces have been employed to straighten patient's teeth for several years. The brace technology has come a good way lately. Braces used to be much more obvious in the wearers mouth than they are these days. The first braces where made out of large silver caps that needed to be fitted around each tooth. These were conjoined by a small wire that could be tightened to slowly bring the teeth into alignment. Braces have come a good way, and are now almost clear.

Wearing braces is now not the societal disgrace it used to be. Braces were once generally the domain of kids. Today many adults wear braces to have their crooked teeth straightened out. As the braces are now almost invisible many adults don't feel embarrassed about wearing them. There are several tooth misalignments that may be easily fixed by wearing braces. One of the most common reasons for wearing tooth straighteners is to put together teeth that are spaced too far apart. There are many reasons for this.

One of the common reasons for teeth being too far apart is that the jaw is sort of big and the teeth have too much space. An interesting grin dictates the teeth should be close together and straight in the front of the mouth. A different reason for spaces can be that the jaw is too small. Teeth may overlap as a consequence of this. A few teeth may want to be pulled to stop this overcrowding. Once the teeth have been pulled it is time to bring all of the teeth together to dispose of the holes left by the pulled teeth.

Some of us have an under bite. This is a condition where the lower jaw protrudes out more than the higher jaw. Infrequently surgery is needed to fix this ugly problem. Many times if the issue is mild it can be fixed by wearing braces alone. This saves the cost and discomfort of surgery. Many folks would prefer to avoid the likely complications of major surgery like this, so the option of wearing braces is sort of welcome. The right course of treatment will be followed for a prescribed number of months or years. The length of time that braces are required will rely upon the scale of the difficulty.

Another frequent problem is the overbite. This is a condition in which the higher jaw juts out over the lower jaw. Also, dependent on severity, it is possible to adjust the condition by wearing braces. The patient can expect to have monthly visits to the orthodontist's office to have the wires adjusted. There could be a day or so of slight pain as the teeth become used to moving into a new position after each adjustment. This is only temporary and worth the final result that can be achieved. People who were scared to grin will be happy with the results that can be achieved.
