Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals with the correction of teeth positions. Proper teeth positioning makes not only for a beautiful aesthetic but also for the proper functioning of the teeth, while you are chewing or speaking. Although patients are usually more concerned about aesthetics, the teeth function is much more affected by its bad positions.

What does it mean if your teeth are not positioned properly?

Nature made our mouth works like one complicated system. If something is wrong in that system, the whole system is suffering. Our teeth have a certain size and shape so they can function properly. Each tooth has its place in our chewing system. Chewing force is transferring from the teeth to the jaw bone. If the tooth does not fit correctly in the bone, then this force affects it incorrectly and this leads to a series of problems.

The consequence of the incorrect transferring of the force on the tooth are:

  • Tooth decay

  • Gums inflammation

  • Gums recession

  • Loss of the bone

  • Loose tooth

  • Tooth extraction
