Dental Orthodontics

Orthodontics in South Austin

Orthodontics are an excellent way to straighten your teeth. While orthodontic treatments are used to straighten teeth for an enhanced smile, they can also help restore functionality to teeth, jaw, and bite.

The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that all children should have an evaluation with an orthodontist by the age of 7 regardless of how many teeth have erupted.

This is because orthodontists are able to predict any structural changes that may occur as your child gets older. Addressing such structural changes with braces can save your child’s smile and also prevent any additional dental issues down the road.

Frequently Asked Questions

Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. It primarily involves the use of braces, aligners, and other orthodontic appliances to straighten teeth, correct misalignments, and improve the overall appearance and functionality of the smile. Orthodontic treatment can address issues such as crooked teeth, crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites.

Orthodontic treatment can be provided at any age, but the ideal time to start varies depending on individual circumstances. In general, orthodontic evaluations are recommended for children around the age of 7. This early evaluation allows the orthodontist to identify any existing or potential orthodontic issues and plan for appropriate treatment if necessary. However, orthodontic treatment can also be beneficial for teenagers and adults who desire a straighter, more aligned smile.

While traditional braces are a common orthodontic treatment option, there are also alternative treatments available. Clear aligners, such as Invisalign, are a popular choice for those seeking a more discreet and removable option. Lingual braces are another option that is placed on the back of the teeth, making them less visible. The most suitable treatment option will depend on your specific orthodontic needs and preferences. Consulting with an orthodontist will help determine the best treatment approach for you.

It's important to note that these FAQs provide general information about orthodontics.
