Orthodontist Leeds
Orthodontic treatment is a way of straightening teeth or moving teeth, to improve the appearance of the teeth and how they work. Orthodontic treatment can also help to look after the long-term health of the teeth, gums and jaw joints, by spreading the biting pressure over all the teeth. A lot of people have crowded or crooked teeth. Orthodontic treatment will straighten the teeth or move them into a better position. This can not only improve their appearance but also the way the teeth bite together.
For some people the upper front teeth may stick out and look unsightly. These prominent teeth are more likely to be damaged, but orthodontic treatment can move them back into line. In others, the way the upper and lower jaws meet can cause teeth to look unsightly and lead to an incorrect bite. Orthodontic treatment may be able to correct both.
When the teeth do not meet correctly, this can put strain on the muscles of the jaw, causing jaw and joint problems and in some cases headaches. Orthodontic treatment can help you to bite more evenly and reduce the strain.
Far Headingley Dental Care provides orthodontic treatment in the form of Clearstep clear braces. Alternatively if your dentist feels that you would benefit from a fixed brace, you can be referred to a specialist orthodontist in Leeds.
