Who Needs Orthodontics? Beyond providing a great smile, orthodontics also corrects "malocclusions" or bad bites. A malocclusion (the term for crooked, crowded or protruding teeth) occurs when the teeth are not lined up properly. Malocclusions can affect the way a person chews, talks, or smiles, and in some cases, can affect the jaws causing pain and discomfort. Below are some common conditions treated with orthodontics: [Click picture for a larger view.]
Almost everyone who has experienced orthodontic care can easily list reasons why they had their teeth straightened. Not only were their biting, chewing, and speaking improved but also they found it was much easier to maintain the health of their teeth and gums. Along with teeth that work better, the lifelong benefit and the pleasant "side effect" of orthodontics was that their smile became an attractive asset. We don't think about it, but a beautiful smile contributes to self-esteem, increased confidence, and enhances social and career success. As the orthodontist brings teeth, lips, and face into proportion, he or she shapes not only the smile but also a person's general attitude toward life. People with beautiful smiles have a lot to be happy about. At Amley & Amley Orthodontics we want our patient's of all ages to be aware of twelve early warning signs indicating it is time for an orthodontic exam.
