orthodontic problem Is called a malocclusion, meaning "bad bite." Some causes
of malocclusion are crowded teeth, extra teeth, missing teeth, or jaws that are out of
alignment. Most malocclusions are inherited, although some can be acquired. Acquired
malocclusions can be caused by accidents, early or late loss of baby teeth, or sucking
of the thumb or fingers for a prolonged period of time.

How Is treatment initiated?

First, pretreatment records are made. These records are important for the orthodontist
to use in making an accurate diagnosis. They include medical/dental history, clinical
examination, plaster study models of teeth, photos of your face and teeth and x-rays
of your mouth and head. This information will be used to decide on the best treatment.
A custom treatment plan Is outlined for each patient.

How have braces changed from in the past?

Today's braces are generally less noticeable than those of the past. Brackets, the part
of the braces that hold the wires, are bonded to the front of the teeth. These brackets
can be metal, clear, or tooth-colored. Modem wires are also less noticeable than their
predecessors. Today's wires are made of "space age materials that exert a steady,
gentle pressure on the teeth, making the tooth-moving process faster and more
comfortable for patients.
