What is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that uses braces, plates and other methods to help straighten any crooked teeth. An orthodontist is a specially trained dentist that can help determine the issues behind misaligned teeth and determine a proper treatment.
Why Does One Need Orthodontics Treatment?
Orthodontic treatment is not only to achieve straight teeth. Misaligned teeth, crowded teeth, missing teeth or even jaw displacement can lead to a number of health and discomfort problems. It is very hard to clean crooked and crowded teeth, which can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. Not having a good bite can lead to teeth grinding, jaw/head pain. It can even contribute to a condition known as TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) syndrome, which is pain in the joint that connects the jaw to the skull.
Straighter teeth not only means better smile and more confidence in social interaction, it can also help to maintain good Oral Hygiene. In addition, good alignment with ideal bite can alleviate ear pain, spasm of the jaw or facial muscles pain. Our experienced dental professionals can help address all of these issues while finding the treatment that is right for your individual case.

Benefits of Braces
Braces are an effective treatment to help align your teeth and improve your smile for life. But there are more benefits of braces than a smile to be proud of, such as:
Airway Focused Orthodontics
Airway focused orthodontics is a holistic approach to orthodontics and braces. We understand the importance of straight teeth, but we also consider the function of the entire mouth and jaw and how they are intimately related to breathing. This is true in adults and may be even more important for children because breathing problems can lead to a host of health and behavioural issues such as:
Braces and Airway Focused Orthodontics
Airway health and orthodontic work hand in hand with each other. We often work in conjunction with ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist) to make sure the aiwary health is established whilst we help patients to develop their upper and lower jaw shape. To have proper and patent nose breathing will allow our orthodontic appliances such as braces or plates to reshape the jaw bone without the constriction of mouth breathing muscles. It is our belief that any orthodontic force applied to your teeth and muscle should be working with mother nature’s correct pattern.
Braces can play a role in alleviating sleep apnea due to a physical expansion of the airway. Physical blockage of the airway is one common symptom of improper jaw alignment, which may be corrected with the right orthodontic care and braces. And proper jaw alignment can reduce stress on the jaw and muscles, and often relieve symptoms of TMJ disorder.

Proper teeth alignment can impact a number of aesthetic and health issues. Aesthetically, orthodontic treatment can help correct an overbite, an underbite or a crossbite. Each of these not only affects the shape and function of your jaw and face, but can cause sleeping and breathing problems. Proper alignment using braces can often correct these disorders.

Braces Aren’t Just for Kids
The word, “braces,” often brings to the mind a picture of a child with a mouthful of metal, but those days are long gone. Modern braces come with metal or tooth colored braces. You could even be a candidate for clear aligner. Braces are a viable option over veneers or dental crowns for those who wish to preserve their past dental work, yet still, improve their smile. Our dental professionals will work with you to help you choose the best treatment for your lifestyle without compromising the treatment.
Having good oral hygiene and a proper diet can help you enjoy your orthodontic journey more comfortably. Here are things to consider when you are going through braces.
