Orthodontics Leederville

Orthodontics treats malocclusion, a condition in which the teeth are not properly aligned when the mouth is closed. This results in an improper bite.

orthodontics leederville

Orthodontics is concerned with the diagnosis, prevention, interception, guidance, and correction of misaligned bites.

Orthodontic treatments aim to create a healthy bite—straighter teeth that properly meet opposing teeth in the opposite jaw. A good bite makes it easier to bite, chew, and speak properly.

Qualified Candidates for Orthodontics

Orthodontic treatment is usually started after most of a child’s adult teeth have begun to grow.

This is usually when they’re about 12 years old but depends on the number of adult teeth that have grown, and the growth of their face and jaws.

Orthodontic treatment for adult patients can start at any age, but the treatment options are more limited.

Treatment will not start unless you have a good standard of oral hygiene, as treatment can increase the chance of developing tooth decay and gum problems.

If you have any of the following, you may be a qualified candidate for orthodontic treatment:

R

Overbite

where the upper front teeth lie stick out over the lower teeth.
R

Underbite

where the lower teeth are too far forward or the upper teeth too far back.
R

Open bite

when there is a space between the surfaces of the front and/or side teeth when the back teeth bite together.
R

Crossbite

when the upper teeth don’t come down slightly in front of the lower teeth when the mouth is closed.
R

Misplaced midline

when the middle of your upper front teeth does not line up with the centre of your lower front teeth.
R

Spacing

gaps between the teeth as a result of missing teeth or teeth that do not “fill up” the mouth.
R

Crowding

when there are too many teeth for the dental ridge to accommodate.

Types of Orthodontic Treatments

Your Leederville dentist can carry out work that achieves the following:

  • closing gaps between the teeth
  • aligning the ends of the teeth
  • straightening crooked teeth
  • improving speech or chewing
  • boosting the long-term health of teeth and gums
  • preventing long-term wear or trauma of the teeth
  • treating an improper bite

Treatment can enhance the appearance of the teeth, but it can also lead to better chewing and speaking and help protect teeth from damage or decay, in some cases.

To achieve these goals, your Leederville dentist uses a range of medical dental devices, including headgear, plates, and braces.

Do orthodontic treatments hurt?
At first, it may take some time for your mouth to adapt to your braces or aligners; and with the braces, in particular, you may experience some rubbing on your lips and cheeks.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
The duration of your orthodontic treatment depends on the problem to be treated and on how much movement is needed to bring the teeth into the desired position. Treatment can vary from a few months in straightforward cases to two to three years for very complex cases.
