Comprehensive orthodontic treatment
Comprehensive orthodontic treatment refers to the full, detailed orthodontic care aimed at correcting both dental and skeletal issues for patients who need more extensive correction, often after their permanent teeth have fully erupted.
This is the type of treatment commonly associated with traditional braces or clear aligners (like Invisalign) and is typically performed when a patient’s permanent teeth are mostly in place – usually around ages 11 to 14 or older.
Correcting Tooth Alignment:
This phase primarily focuses on moving teeth into their proper positions in the mouth to improve alignment, addressing issues like crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites.
Improving Bite Function:
A major goal is to ensure that the upper and lower teeth fit together correctly, allowing for a more natural and efficient bite. This helps prevent jaw issues, tooth wear, and difficulty chewing.
Achieving Optimal Aesthetic Results:
Comprehensive orthodontics also focuses on the appearance of the teeth and smile, enhancing facial aesthetics through proper tooth positioning.
Addressing Skeletal Issues:
For patients with significant jaw misalignments (like a protruding or receded jaw), comprehensive treatment can also address skeletal issues and align the upper and lower jaws. This may involve the use of braces and, in some cases, surgical intervention if necessary.
