Excellent technical expertise - i had a first class experience with claire and her team realigning my teeth over about a 2 ½ year period. I was recommended claire by a friend who's a dentist who said she's the best orthodontist she knows and had trained under her. Overall very happy with the end result and quality of service and advice throughout.

Does Dental Insurance Cover Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is concerned with the appearance and functioning of teeth and covers a wide area of clinical practice from simple tooth position correction through to the management of people with cranio-facial abnormalities such as cleft lip and palate. The british orthodontic society describe some of the common reasons for people wanting orthodontics as: protruding upper front teeth – one of the most common dental problems crowding – a narrow jaw may mean there is not enough room for your teeth, resulting in crowding. Conversely, some patients have significant gaps between their teeth. Asymmetry – particularly when the centre lines of the upper and lower front teeth do not match, perhaps because the teeth have drifted or the position of the jaw has shifted.

Although dental problems have surely been a problem for humanity before recorded history, the earliest evidence we have of practices resembling orthodontic work comes from ancient egyptians, etruscans, greeks, and romans. Archeologists have uncovered bodies (including mummies!) preserved with metal or gold wire wrapped around and through their teeth. Though this may sound similar to modern braces, they were likely used for burial practices instead of dental application. Their purpose was to preserve teeth in place for burial ceremonies instead of to improve their bite while alive. The dead of ancient egyptians have also been found with metal bands around their teeth made from the guts of animals, according to the american of orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics.

Should top teeth touch bottom teeth?

An effective long-term solution to straightening your teeth and correcting your bite is orthodontics. Orthodontics is a subspecialty area in dentistry that focuses on aligning and straightening teeth using wires and brackets, applying gentle pressure to the teeth to move them into a particular position. The discipline has advanced over decades and today treatment is a lot faster and more comfortable than it was in the past. Here is an overview of orthodontics: patients who have problems with their bite and the way their top and bottom teeth line up against each other are good candidates for orthodontic treatment. Impressions, photos and x-rays are taken at the start of treatment to determine the course of action.

What is an orthodontist? an orthodontist is a doctor who specializes in the field of dentistry that aims to diagnose, treat, and prevent dental irregularities. This includes crooked teeth, misaligned bites, and other conditions that affect the look and function of the face and jaw. A children’s orthodontist has completed several years of training in addition to dental school, allowing him or her to successfully correct dental irregularities in adolescents. Is it required that my child sees an orthodontist if they are a dental patient? no, it is not. However, the american association of orthodontists recommends that all children by the age of seven visit an orthodontist to assess potential tooth and jaw problems so that corrective action or treatment can take place through early intervention.
