Jaw alignment, also known as maxillofacial orthopedics, is a specialized area of dentistry and medicine that focuses on correcting misalignments of the jawbones, including the maxilla (upper jaw) and mandible (lower jaw). These misalignments, collectively known as malocclusion, can occur due to various factors, including genetics, childhood habits, injuries, and developmental issues.
Clear aligners are a popular orthodontic treatment option that uses a series of clear, removable trays to gradually straighten teeth. They are a popular alternative to traditional metal braces because they are more aesthetically pleasing and comfortable to wear.
Clear aligners are a good option for adults and teenagers who are looking for a discreet and comfortable way to straighten their teeth. They are not suitable for everyone, however. People with severe orthodontic problems may not be good candidates for clear aligners.
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that are placed over damaged or weakened teeth to restore their function, strength, and appearance. They are a versatile restorative treatment that can address a wide range of dental issues, from severe decay to fractures and cracks.
Dental crown restoration is a safe and effective procedure that can restore the function and appearance of damaged teeth. With proper care, dental crowns can last for many years.
Oral examinations and cleanings are essential components of preventive dental care. They help to maintain good oral health, prevent gum disease and tooth decay, and detect potential problems early on.
Most adults should get oral examinations and cleanings every six months. However, some people may need to come in more often, depending on their individual risk factors for gum disease and tooth decay.
