Orthodontics is a specialised
branch of dentistry that is primarily associated with the diagnosis and
correction of misaligned teeth and jaws. The objective of an orthodontic
treatment is to adjust the placement of crooked teeth to fashion a smile that is
pleasant and picture-perfect. Also, such treatments ensure that the teeth fit
together correctly for appropriate oral hygiene, keeping periodontal disease
and tooth decay at bay.
Who needs orthodontic treatment?
Abnormal development and arrangement of the teeth, as well as
the jaw, can affect the overall shape of the face. An orthodontist carries a
special clinical exam that includes diagnostic tools, such as X-rays and
plaster models to decide whether a patient needs an orthodontic treatment or
not.
The most common cases for orthodontic treatments are:
- Overbite: Also
known as ‘buck teeth’, where the upper front teeth appear to stick out
over the lower teeth
- Underbite: Refers
to the ‘bulldog’ appearance, where the upper teeth are placed too far back
than the lower teeth
- Crossbite: An
alignment where the upper teeth are placed slightly over the teeth at the
bottom
- Open Bite: When
there is an apparent gap or space between the front upper and lower teeth
upon biting them together
- Misplaced Midline: When
the centres of the upper and lower front teeth do not match each other
- Spacing:Any sort of gaps
or spaces between the teeth
- Crowding: When
there are too many teeth in the mouth as compared to the size of the jaws
Common Orthodontic Treatments
There are different types of appliances that put gentle
pressure on the jaws and teeth to help them move.
Fixed Appliances: Braces (with bands, brackets
and wire) is one of the most practised orthodontic treatments.
Removable Appliances: It includes orthodontic devices, such
as aligners, retainers, lip and cheek bumpers, palatal expander, headgear and
jaw repositioning tools.

It is even better that someone headed with an issue and still thought that nobody else went through this, so it is an impressive story. I am seeking for a dentist in St. Catharines so if someone can guide me through would be very kindness on me.
