Orthodontics

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry dealing with correcting teeth and aligning jaws. The end result is a more pleasing outward appearance, better dental health, and teeth that can last a lifetime.

At Golden Square Dental, we help patients achieve that perfect smile they’ve always dreamt of having. Crooked teeth are a serious problem and are caused due to several factors such as –

Facial injury
Poor diet and lack of nutrition in children can be a trigger for crooked teeth
Poor dental hygiene
Genetics and hereditary
Misaligned jaw

If left untreated, crooked teeth can lead to several health issues.

Problems That Can Arise From Crooked Teeth or A Misaligned Bite

Crooked teeth or a misaligned bite aren’t just unsightly, they can have disastrous effects on your health. The constant health problems that arise from this condition can have lasting effects if not treated immediately.

Not correcting crooked teeth or a misaligned bite can result in any, or all, of these things:

Early onset of tooth decay
Eventual loss of teeth
Developing a speech impediment
Incorrect chewing patterns
Abnormal wear and tear to healthy tooth enamel
Gum disease
Jaw problems

If you’ve experienced any of the following, it’s past time to give your dentist a visit:

Difficulty in chewing or biting down on food
Hearing a clicking sound in your jaw
Involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth especially when asleep
Slurring, or other speech impediments
Imbalanced facial features
Constantly biting the insides of your mouth
Early or late loss of primary teeth
Difficulty in breathing
Constant headaches

These are just some of the indicators that you may need orthodontic treatment performed on your teeth. The sooner you get yourself checked, the better.

Invisalign/Clear Aligners

Modern advances in orthodontic treatments have paved the way for the creation of Invisalign or clear aligners. These are generally more comfortable then braces and usually take less time to correct your teeth.

In addition, Invisalign is nearly invisible and can be removed for cleaning and eating. Invisalign aligners allows for an easier oral hygiene routine and can be cleaned simply with a soft-bristle brush or a prescribed cleaning solution! Connect with us today to get all the information you need on Invisalign aligners.

However, not all patients may be suited for Invisalign or clear aligner therapy. In some cases you may still need to use Braces to have your teeth corrected. In case it is determined that braces are a better fit for you, we can refer you to one of our trusted Orthodontists for your treatment.
