Orthodontic treatment


Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry concerned with correcting the position of misaligned teeth and correcting any fault in the way upper and lower teeth bite together. Orthodontic treatment is necessary only when the teeth are so uneven that they spoil a person's appearance or cause dental problems, or when they not bite together properly (malocclusion). Correction of these irregularities improves appearance, chewing ability, and speech habits and often lessens pain.

Orthodontic treatment use devices and appliances to achieve the goals of orthodontia, which affect the health and appearance of the teeth, jaw, and face. The orthodontist must include a variety of diagnostic procedures, such as x-rays, photographs, impressions, clinical exams, health history interviews, and dental examinations to determine a special, individualized treatment plan for the patient.

There are many orthodontists in Austin TX. Start your search by asking your dentist for the names of qualified orthodontists. You can also ask for references from friends who have undergone orthodontic treatment.
