Signs and Symptoms of Orthodontics
29 Jun, 2016 4:34 PM
Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that corrects teeth and jaws that are positioned improperly. Only your dentist or orthodontist can determine whether you have orthodontics or not. Based on diagnostic tools that include a full medical and dental health history, a clinical exam, plaster models of your teeth, and special X-rays and photographs, an orthodontist or dentist can decide whether orthodontics are recommended, and develop a treatment plan that's right for you.
The following are signs and symptoms of having Orthodontics: -
• If you overbite, sometimes called "buck teeth" where the upper front teeth lie too far forward (stick out) over the lower teeth.
• If you have an underbite where the lower teeth are too far forward or the upper teeth too far back.
• When you have a crossed bite where the upper teeth do not come down slightly in front of the lower teeth when biting together normally.
• Having space between the biting surfaces of the front and/or side teeth when the back teeth bite together otherwise known as an open bite.
• Misplaced midline, this is when the centre of your upper front teeth does not line up with the centre of your lower front teeth.
• Spacing — gaps, or spaces, between the teeth as a result of missing teeth or teeth that do not "fill up" the mouth.
• Crowding — when there are too many teeth for the dental ridge to accommodate.
If you have any of these symptoms you can always come to Dental Health Providers and we will help bring back your smile and have a comfortable healthy life.
