What about taking out teeth?

Orthodontic treatment relieves extra strain on gums and bones when teeth do not meet properly.  Such strain may lead to gum disease called pyorrhea or periodontal disease, a major cause of tooth loss.

There are many causes for misaligned teeth (malocclusion).  You may have inherited from one parent a jaw too small to accommodate the large teeth inherited from the other parent.  Teeth might then become crowded or overlapped.  Other malocclusions may be due to early loss of a tooth, bad lip and tongue habits, birth development or accidents. 天津医科大学口腔医院口腔正畸科赵艳红

Crowded unevenly spaced, protruding/rotated teeth, mouth breathing or bleeding gums are signs that help is possibly needed.

Each problem determines its own best starting time.  Length of treatment varies according to the problem.

If you have a question (at any age) it's best to check with your doctor right away.  It may save you time later in life.

A correct appliance, custom fitted into place, does not harm the teeth.   Before orthodontic treatment starts, all cavities must be filled.  During orthodontic treatment, you must brush your teeth regularly and avoid those foods discouraged by the doctor.

Custom-made orthodontic appliances or "braces" are chosen according to the problems being treated and lifestyle of patient being treated.  They may be "removable" or "fixed" (temporarily cemented in place).  They may be made of metal, plastic or both.  All appliances will create gentle pressure and cause teeth to move into their proper positions.  Under this pressure the body builds up new tissue to support the improved position of the teeth.

If your teeth do not fit together properly when your mouth is closed, or if any of the lower teeth bite outside the upper teeth, orthodontics is needed.  Also, if front teeth do not chew properly�if lips don't come together normally�if the mouth is usually open�or if you breath through the mouth�all of these conditions usually indicate the need for treatment.

It is heartwarming to the orthodontist to see a patient's self-consciousness disappear as orthodontic treatment brings teeth, lips and face into proper proportion.

Often no teeth need to be removed.  At other times, tooth removal is prescribed.  You can rely on the doctor to chart the best course of correction for you.  But if you do not feel confident in your first doctor's prescription feel free to get a second or third opinion.

Also, treatment promotes good digestion by properly aligning teeth to chew correctly.  Thus, orthodontic treatment leads not only to better dental health but to better nutrition and general bodily health as well.

Orthodontics is the science of moving living teeth in living tissue, bringing irregular, improperly placed teeth back into correct positions intended by nature.  It is commonly called "straightening teeth".

Improving appearances is only one aim of orthodontics.  Its primary concern is promoting good oral health by straightening crowded, easy-to-decay teeth.  Crowded teeth tend to have more cavities because they are food traps and are harder to keep clean.

What kind of "braces" will you need?

What is the best age for treatment?

Remember that very few individuals have a perfect bite.  In fact, today, many adults are being treated for orthodontic problems that were not corrected in childhood.
