What is Orthodontics Treatment?
If the upper and lower teeth do not align properly when you bite, it may be considered an orthodontic problem. The area of dentistry that corrects bite alignment and tooth positioning is known as orthodontics treatment.
This area of dentistry may address concerns such as:
- Crowded and overlapping teeth,
- Twisted and gapped teeth, crooked teeth,
- Underbite and overbite.
In some cases, orthodontic treatment may assist with improving bite function and making teeth easier to clean. However, suitability and outcomes can vary depending on individual dental conditions.
Types of Orthodontics Dentistry We Offer
Orthodontic care focuses on guiding teeth and jaw alignment over time. Here are some orthodontic treatments that may be recommended depending on your needs:
Orthodontics Braces
Braces and clear aligner systems may be used to gradually move teeth into improved alignment. Some patients may prefer more discreet options such as clear aligners. A consultation with your dentist or orthodontist near Deanside can help determine which treatment option may be appropriate.
Retainers
We offer custom-fit retainers that are made specifically to fit your jaw. Retainers are typically worn after orthodontic treatment to help maintain tooth position. Your dentist or orthodontist will provide guidance on how long they should be worn.

Reasons Orthodontic Treatment May Be Considered?
Orthodontic treatment may be recommended for several functional and cosmetic reasons, including:
- Aligned teeth can support comfortable chewing and clearer speech
- Straighter teeth may be easier to clean, which can support good oral hygiene.
- Correcting the alignment of your teeth and jaws may help reduce uneven pressure on teeth. It may also keep away the risks of tooth loss and decay.
- Some patients also choose orthodontic treatment to improve the appearance of their smile.

FAQs
Is orthodontics treatment risky?
Orthodontic treatment, like any dental procedure, may carry certain risks such as gum irritation, enamel changes, or tooth movement issues. A dentist or orthodontist will assess your oral health and discuss potential risks before treatment.
Are all orthodontic treatments successful?
Treatment outcomes vary between individuals and depend on factors such as oral health, treatment type, and patient compliance. Your dentist or orthodontist near Deanside can discuss expected outcomes during consultation.
Can braces change face shape?
Orthodontic braces are used to align the position of your teeth and bite alignment. While changes in tooth alignment may influence how your smile appears, they do not alter facial bone structure.

Maintaining results often involves wearing retainers as recommended. Teeth can gradually shift over time, so following your dentist or orthodontist’s instructions is important.

Orthodontic treatment may be provided by dentists trained in orthodontics or by an orthodontist, depending on the complexity of the case.
