Orthodontics refers to a branch of dentistry that helps in treating problems like malocclusion, which results in an improper bite. Improper teeth alignment can cause facial deformation and compromise facial aesthetics.

Orthodontists can help you to overcome various oral problems. They not only improve facial appearance but can also cure chewing and speaking problems. Some conditions that can be cured by Orthodontists will include

• Cementing wide gaps between the teeth
• Aligning the overall shape of the teeth
• Improving the ability to chew and speak
• Boosting the health of gums and teeth

The dental equipment

Several dental equipments are there using which the Orthodontists can cure the conditions of your teeth. The conventional devices will include:

Braces – These are metal wires that serve as anchors, and by exerting continuous pressure, bring the teeth to align correctly. Braces are one of the most effective treatments that help to bring the teeth back to shape; however, the process takes time to give proper results. Both clear and metal braces are available in the market, and you can choose the one according to your requirements.

Fixed space maintainers- When a child loses a baby tooth, two teeth on either side of the gap can move and deform the overall alignment. The fixed space maintainers help to maintain the space of the lost teeth until the adult tooth comes through.

There are different types of orthodontic equipment available for children that can help to treat various conditions. From preventing thumb sucking to correcting crooked teeth, the orthodontic equipment can help a lot to maintain healthy, aligned, and white teeth for your children.
