Orthodontics is a specialist field of dentistry that is involved with the study and correction of what we call ‘improper bites’.
An orthodontist is a specialised dentist who helps to treat irregularities of the mouth, teeth and jaw.
To find out what your orthodontic needs are, we will conduct a variety of methods, including direct measurements, X-rays, study casts and photographs, to work out your treatment plan.
There is no single answer to this question. In certain cases extractions are required to align crowded teeth or correct the bite. It all depends on the sort of problem that needs correcting.

Nowadays, there is a great deal of choice when it comes to braces. Everything from traditional metal braces to ceramic, through to clear Invisalign braces. Some are fixed to your teeth and others are removable. When you first meet with your Odontoville dental clinics orthodontist, you can discuss what your options are. What you end up with depends on your budget and on what best suits your requirements.
Some patients prefer to have crowns or veneers fitted to mask an irregularity. However, crowns and veneers do not last indefinitely and there is a limit to how much irregularity they can mask.
It is likely that there will be some discomfort to start with. Expect a little bit of an ache and some tenderness in the gums as your teeth start to move. Usually this wears off pretty soon.
