What Does an Orthodontist Do?
An orthodontist is responsible for straightening your bite, aligning your jaw, and fixing issues related to malocclusion. The overall goal of an orthodontist is to ensure your bite is as effective as possible. That means ensuring that your teeth are straight and that everything lines up appropriately.
An orthodontist goes through a tremendous amount of training to become an oral health professional. After finishing undergrad, an orthodontist must attend four years of dental school. Then, an orthodontist must complete a residency to learn how to deal with bite issues. That way, he or she has the training necessary to help you correct oral health concerns.
What Are the Benefits of Orthodontics?
There are a number of significant benefits that can be provided by orthodontics. Some of the top benefits include:
- An orthodontist can help you significantly improve your self-esteem because your teeth will be straight.
- Orthodontics can also help you improve the function of those teeth. You will have an easier time chewing, and you can clearly pronounce your words.
- Because your teeth will be straight, you will have a much lower risk of dealing with dental cavities. You will have an easier time brushing and flossing every surface of your teeth.
- You can also reduce your risk of dealing with gum injuries or trauma because bite issues have been corrected.
For these reasons, you should consider reaching out to an orthodontist who can help you.
What Problems Can an Orthodontist Fix?
There are plenty of examples of problems that an orthodontist can fix. For example, an orthodontist might be able to help you straighten your teeth. If you have overlapping teeth, an orthodontist can use a variety of treatment options to straighten them out.
Or, you may have an issue with the alignment of your jaw. If you have an overbite or underbite, an orthodontist can talk with you about potential treatment options.
If you have teeth protruding from your mouth, it can be a significant injury risk. An orthodontist has various treatment options to help you fix protruding teeth, improving your smile.
These are just a few examples of many issues that an orthodontist addresses. It is important for you to reach out to an orthodontist who can help you maximize your oral health.
