Orthodontics at Khalily Aesthetics clinic in Pakistan
Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that corrects teeth and jaws that are positioned improperly. Crooked teeth are harder to keep clean, can detract from one’s appearance, are at risk of being lost early due to tooth decay and periodontal disease, and cause extra stress on the chewing muscles. This can lead to headaches, TMJ syndrome and neck, shoulder and back pain.
Adults of any age are able to benefit from orthodontic treatment. Having aligned teeth can increase your confidence, facilitate cleaning and promote a healthier oral environment.
What is orthodontic treatment?
Orthodontic treatment involves the wearing of braces (removable or fixed) commonly made of ceramic or metal. Invisible aligners are made from a thermoplastic material. Braces can slowly move teeth to a new desirable position. Occasionally it may involve the extraction of teeth, and very occasionally jaw surgery.
There are 3 main reasons for having orthodontic treatment:
1. To improve the appearance of the teeth.
2. To improve function i.e. to make it easier to eat.
3. To improve the health of the teeth and gums.
Children and adults can both benefit from orthodontics, as healthy teeth can be moved at almost any age.
