Improper positioning of teeth
Keeping teeth that don’t sit well together clean can be a challenge. This often results in poor oral hygiene can lead to tooth decay as well as gum disease.
Benefits of orthodontics
In some cases, the added stress that muscles have to endure while chewing can result in headaches, as well as neck, shoulder, and back pain. Improperly placed or crooked teeth can also affect an individual’s self-esteem. You might benefit by receiving orthodontic treatment including cases of overbites, underbites, crossbites, open bites, misplaced midlines, spacing, and crowding.
Orthodontic treatment usually commences only when a child is about 12 to 13 years of age. At this age the development of adult teeth is complete. Treatment can start at a later stage if no irregularity has been noticed beforehand. Earlier requirement of orthodontic treatment is possible in children who suffer from cleft lip and palate
