Orthodontics is the field of dentistry specializing in the realignment of “crooked” teeth as well as improving bite.
Orthodontics has been one of the most popular dental specialties for the last several years.
Orthodontists are treating not only children but, increasingly more frequently, their parents as well.
In today’s world, appearance has become a very important asset in both our professional and private lives. Therefore, people are generally paying greater attention to their smile and teeth.
Orthodontics – not only for children
There are no age barriers when it comes to orthodontic treatment. A five- or fifty-year-old can be treated if treatment is called for.
In the case of children it is easy to decide to begin treatment because it is the “right” age.
However, it is never too late for adults to correct problems with bite.
Patients often decide on orthodontic treatment because they have crooked front teeth. However, orthodontic treatment should not be undertaken only for esthetic reasons, but also because straight teeth are easier to keep clean and for this reason are less susceptible to decay and gum disease.
Correcting bite defects considerably improves the quality of chewing, which has a direct influence on how the alimentary tract works.
In some cases the treatment of bite defects improves speech and eliminates maxillary joint dysfunction as well as, connected with this, headache ailments in the area of the temple, ears and neck.
We encourage everyone to make an appointment for an orthodontic consultation at the Medicover dental offices in Gdańsk, Atrium-Warsaw and Wrocław.
