A branch of dentistry which deals with the treatment of crooked
teeth, which is related to incorrect positioning of teeth and
improper bite is called orthodontics. Facial growth is also
controlled and treated with orthodontics and it also deals with
reshaping and enhancement of the jaw line. A specialist in the field
of orthodontics is known as an orthodontist. ‘Ortho’ is a Greek
word which means proper or perfect and ‘dontos’ is also a Greek
word for teeth.
You can start an orthodontic treatment at the age of 12 or 13 years,
at this age all your permanent teeth come through and are completely
developed. It’s essential to maintain good oral hygiene before you
go for an orthodontic treatment. And after the treatment, brushing
and flossing becomes more important. If you don’t follow good oral
hygiene, then you have to suffer a lot.
During an orthodontic treatment following things are carried out:
-
A complete clinical examination
-
X- ray of your jaw line and your teeth
-
A complete medical history of the patient
-
Modelling of teeth
After these steps, the plan of action will be discussed with the
patient by the orthodontist. You can easily find a good dentist for
