What is an Orthodontist?
An orthodontist is a dental professional who focuses on the prevention and correction of malocclusion or crooked teeth. Orthodontics specialists work together with dentists, and surgeons to ensure the proper development of the jaws and teeth.
Orthodontists help you maintain a good bite so you could chew and speak comfortably and effectively. They treat many problems like crowded or overlapping teeth and certain other problems involving jaw growth and tooth development.
Through regular visits and extensive treatment, orthodontists can improve your smile and ensure better chewing ability, speech, and aesthetic appeal. Tooth and jaw ailments may be caused by accidents, cavities, lost baby teeth, and bad habits like thumb sucking.
Some common conditions treated include crowded or overlapping teeth and improper jaw position. Orthodontics professionals specialize in treating such conditions and can often correct them before they get out of hand.
More advanced and specialized training enables orthodontists to straighten teeth and fix the misalignment of the jaws. Seek the help of an orthopedics expert if you think you have a problem with your teeth or jaws. It is likely that his or her expertise will make all the difference.
