Orthodontic TreatmentWhat is the significance of Orthodontics?
Orthodontics can enhance a person's self-image
as the lips, jaws and teeth become proportionately aligned as smile is
just a part of the wide range of benefits. Avoid health issues is
another benefit as ignorance can lead to gum disease, chewing and
digestion problems, bone damage and caries. A "bad bite" can
cause chipped teeth, speech impairments, tooth loss and other dental
trauma.
At what age should an adolescent first visit an
Orthodontist?
We suggest getting checked up by an
Orthodontist before the age of 7. Some problems can be easily corrected
if detected at an early age when the jaw growth hasn't slowed down yet
as it also helps avoid surgery and complex procedures in future.
Till what age can a person get braces?
Any person having healthy teeth can get his
teeth realigned. Patients can be treated from as early as 7yrs and
as late as 60yrs or older!
Difference between a normal Dentist and an
Orthodontist
Orthodontists are dentists with specialization
in rectifying irregularities of the face and teeth. An orthodontist can
realign teeth and then help maintain them, improve 'bite' and improve
functioning of the jaw. As per the guidelines laid down by the American
Dental Association, a person can be called an Orthodontist only if he's
completed the rigorous two year post-graduate training in orthodontics
from an accredited University.
What about expenses?
Depending on the complexity of the issue, the
expense will vary. Surprisingly Orthodontic treatment is cheaper than
one thinks as many problems need limited treatment. Our orthodontist
will be glad to talk about fees. We offer various payment plans
depending on the financial condition of the patient.
