What is Orthodontics for? Improve your health and smile in St-Eustache

What is orthodontics used for?

At Dr. David Benguira, we know that orthodontics is not limited to the aesthetic improvement of the smile. This dental specialty plays an essential role in correcting dental and jaw irregularities, thus improving oral functionality and general health. Orthodontics is a discipline that contributes not only to aesthetics, but also to the overall well-being of the patient, preventing various oral health problems.

Main objectives of orthodontics

Improved aesthetics:
The most visible aspect of orthodontics is the correction of tooth alignment, which helps improve smile and self-confidence. A harmonious smile can have a significant impact on self-esteem and social interactions, making this aesthetic improvement particularly valuable for many patients.

Improved functionality:
Misaligned teeth can cause problems with chewing and speaking. Orthodontics helps align teeth for better functionality, making it easier to chew and speak. Proper tooth alignment ensures a balanced distribution of chewing forces, reducing the risk of future complications.

Prevention of oral health problems:
Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other dental problems. By facilitating more effective oral hygiene, orthodontics plays a vital preventative role, helping patients maintain good dental health throughout their lives.

Reduction of abnormal wear: 
Teeth that don't align properly can wear unevenly, leading to premature wear. Orthodontics corrects these bite issues, ensuring that the teeth meet in a balanced manner, preventing excessive wear and extending the life of the teeth.

Improved jaw joint health:
Malocclusions or poor dental alignment can put extra strain on the muscles and joints of the jaw, which can lead to temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Orthodontics helps realign teeth, reducing symptoms associated with these disorders and improving overall patient comfort.

Modern technologies and techniques

Orthodontics has evolved significantly with the introduction of advanced technologies such as 3D imaging and near-invisible aligners like Invisalign. These innovations provide greater precision in planning and executing orthodontic treatments, while making the experience more comfortable and discreet for patients. With these advances, it is now possible to perform treatments faster, more effective, and less invasive, while maintaining a high level of patient satisfaction.
