Crooked teeth means gum trouble! Ask for Easton orthodontics

Have you noticed some people giggle and smile only beneath their hands? They squirm when they are asked to grin and show their teeth. This is because they are embarrassed to show their wrongly aligned teeth. Their teeth may be clambering on top of each other; they may be poorly aligned or crooked, but the fact remains that it reduces the beauty of the smile.

People are often embarrassed because of their badly shaped teeth, but there is help on the horizon. An orthodontist who is skilled in the field of Easton orthodontics can help in moving the teeth and getting them back into a straight line with the help of braces.

Crooked teeth or teeth crowding one on top of the other cause a lot of plague build up in the miniscule empty spaces between the teeth. The plague starts to eat into the enamel leading to the development of cavities or it can cause swelling and pus build-up between the teeth and they can become weak and lose. It becomes imperative to set them in a straight line by aligning them properly. Leave the job to the Easton orthodontics and let the dentist take care of your teeth in the best way.

Warped and teeth positioned one on top of the other can be a source of serious gum trouble and can cause many periodontal diseases. Oral hygiene is a must and the white Pearlies need to be kept very clean especially when the teeth are not in a straight line. An under bite or overbite may result in poor chewing of food and the teeth often clench and grind in an unnatural manner. The teeth face excessive wear and tear in such cases and they also tend to get discoloured.

To straighten the teeth the dentists may use stainless steel wires and brackets, porcelain or ceramic brackets, but since recently doctors are also using invisible material to prepare the braces. You won’t be able to see the wires anymore so you can be saved the "steel mouth" embarrassment in this way.

Regular check up with an orthodontist needs to be scheduled for your child and that too when the child is young. At this time the jaw is tender and in the developing stage. Children often have a bad bite and this malocclusion can be treated better when discovered early. Misaligned, overlapping and crooked teeth can be corrected easily if the problems in the oral cavity are caught at a tender age. The jaws can be aligned to perfection and the bite can be improved by straightening the teeth.

That does not mean that you cannot get braces, retainers, aligners or trays put in at a later age. Teeth can start to shift the moment they find empty spaces in the oral cavity. People in 70s are also known to get their teeth straightened through various orthodontic corrective measures. Orthodontists decide the mode of treatment for the patient and they customise it according to the need. A good orthodontist has the personal touch and promises the patient a smile that will sparkle its way into the hearts of the others.
