The role of orthodontics in achieving the perfect smile

What is orthodontics?

Orthodontics Navan is the field of dentistry which is involved in using dental braces for the improvement of the aesthetics of your teeth and enhancing your oral health in general by straightening misaligned teeth and sometimes jaws. This means dealing with crooked and protruding teeth, making space for overcrowding in the teeth, adjusting the alignment of teeth to deal with bite disorders, as well as improving the setting of wonky or gapped teeth. These are all issues which can affect the way you feel about your smile and can have a negative impact on your self-confidence, but also be detrimental to your oral health at the same time. When teeth are not aligned properly, it can be difficult for your toothbrush or your floss to be able to to access each tooth effectively. Which means that plaque and tartar may remain on the tooth and continue to build up which eventually results in multiple dental issues, beginning with cavities and tooth decay, continuing on to become gingivitis and periodontal disease and can even result in tooth loss when left untreated. 

Orthodontics as an adult

Visiting your dentist on a regular basis from a young age is important to prevent more serious and complicated dental issues in the future. In children and teenagers the dentist will suggest orthodontics when necessary to deal with such issues early on in life to prevent any complications in the future.
