BRACKETS
Orthodontics is a type of dentistry that focuses on correcting incorrect bites and irregularities in the teeth. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, orthodontists make up the largest group of dental specialists. These dental professionals help patients of any age improve tooth and jaw problems and can also help those who simply want cosmetic enhancements.
METHODS
The most common form of orthodontic treatment is the installation of dental appliances that help straighten teeth, remove gaps, and correct overmatures. Braces are often used in conjunction with other orthodontic appliances, such as a helmet and expansion devices, to influence tooth growth in younger patients. Retainers are often used to help ensure that teeth remain in their new position after braces have been removed. The American Dental Association states that, in some cases, orthodontists may choose to use surgery to modify the teeth and jaw.

TYPES
Orthodontists specialize in correcting a variety of dental problems. Some of the problems reviewed by orthodontic procedures include: difficulty chewing, crowding of teeth, missing teeth, difficulty speaking, protruding teeth, irregular bite, and facial imbalances.
TIME FRAME
We suggest that children have their first orthodontic visit before 7 years of age. While many people undergo corrective orthodontic procedures early in their lives, it is not uncommon for adults and even older adults to undergo orthodontic treatments. Depending on the patient’s specific problems and the methods used to correct them, orthodontic treatments can last up to six months, but can take three years or more to complete in severe cases.
CONSIDERATIONS
Straight teeth are easier to keep clean and are more effective at biting, chewing, and speaking than teeth with abnormalities. People who have undergone orthodontic treatments also report having fewer dental complications later in life.
