Orthodontics is the speciality
of dentistry concerned with the prevention, interception and correction
of problems relating to the growth and development of the teeth
and jaws. "Ortho" means "straight", and "dontics"
means "teeth".
The nature of each person's problem is unique
- no two people are the same. Our facial appearance and teeth
are initially inherited, but malocclusions (or "crooked teeth")
are the result of many factors, both inherited and developmental
(such as thumb sucking, irregular tongue posture, poor breathing
etc.) Each person's response to orthodontic treatment is different
because of the many factors, including growth, with which we are
dealing. Often two or more phases of treatment may be required
during the growing years.
Assessment of the best treatment for you will
take all these factors into account, as well as facial characteristics,
lip posture, the jaw or bite relationship, and the size and number
of teeth. Radiographs ("x-rays") will be used to help
with this assessment, and also predict any future problems which
need to be taken into account (such as the wisdom teeth).
