What is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws to achieve optimal oral health and aesthetics. Through the use of various orthodontic techniques and appliances, orthodontics aims to straighten teeth, improve bite alignment, and enhance overall dental function.
What Can Orthodontics Help Correct?
Orthodontics can help correct a wide range of dental issues, including crooked or misaligned teeth, overcrowding, gaps between teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and other bite irregularities. Whether you’re looking to achieve a straighter smile for cosmetic reasons or to address functional issues, orthodontic care can help you achieve your goals and enjoy a healthier, more confident smile.
Why Straighten Your Teeth?
Straightening your teeth offers numerous benefits beyond just improving your smile’s appearance. Some key reasons to consider orthodontic treatment include:
Improved Oral Health
Straight teeth are easier to clean and maintain, reducing the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and other dental issues.
Enhanced Bite Function
Properly aligned teeth and jaws can improve bite function, making it easier to chew food and speak clearly.
Reduced Risk of Dental Trauma
Misaligned teeth are more susceptible to chipping, cracking, and other forms of dental trauma. Orthodontic treatment can help protect your teeth from damage.
Boosted Confidence
A straight, attractive smile can boost self-esteem and confidence, leading to improved social and professional interactions.
Our Approach to Orthodontics
At Deal Family Dental, our commitment extends beyond merely straightening teeth. We delve deeper into optimizing the natural growth and development of your face, ensuring a harmonious balance that enhances not only your smile but your overall facial aesthetics and well-being. A significant focus of our practice is on guiding the growing face in the right direction, as an overwhelming number of children today develop habits or limitations that can disrupt normal programmed growth. This is why some children experience severe crowding once their permanent teeth emerge.
Why Early Intervention Matters
Early detection and prevention of malocclusion and inadequate growth of the face and jaws are paramount in our philosophy at Deal Family Dental. Leaving these conditions undiagnosed and untreated can lead to a myriad of problems, including crooked teeth, poor facial aesthetics, airway dysfunction, sleep disorders, and TMJ issues. While many believe these problems are inherited, they are often the result of environmental or functional influences in growing children, creating crowded teeth and underdeveloped faces. Identifying and addressing these developmental issues at an early age is crucial for maximizing treatment outcomes and preventing irreversible damage.
Orthopedic-Orthodontic Treatment
Dr. Stephen Deal's exclusive treatment approach begins with a comprehensive history and examination to connect the dots and determine individualized treatment recommendations. Dr. Deal identifies the underlying causes of growth and development deficiencies through a unique, comprehensive diagnostic protocol incorporating state-of-the-art technologies and a multidisciplinary review. Treatment is non-surgical and effective, optimizing dentofacial development and addressing myofunctional disorders and airway issues. Traditionally, orthodontics primarily focuses on moving teeth, often leading to treatment that moves teeth back toward the airway and may require the extraction of permanent teeth. In contrast, Dr. Deal's philosophy optimizes dentofacial development through active/functional treatment at an early age, addressing problems as they arise without needing permanent tooth extractions. Our approach includes fixed and removable appliances, myofunctional therapy, and addressing airway issues to ensure treatment success.
