I frequently get asked about
"Time in treatment and Space for teeth."
Orthodontics works more in the realm of medical science than science fiction, but it does view
treatment in terms of time and space. To begin with, there is either too much or too little space.
Either the teeth are too large for the jaws or the jaws are too large for the teeth. Mismatches
between teeth and jaws most commonly the result from inherited characteristics that do not
compliment each other from each parent. As a result, teeth can be forced out of alignment,
grow inside or outside the dental arch, or rotate and over-lap adjacent teeth. Orthodontic
treatment addresses these issues by moving teeth into their proper positions with constant
and gentle pressure. Because rushing toward completion of treatment would only serve to
jeopardize the health of teeth and underlying bones, most treatment can be expected to range
from eighteen months to three years. This of course is also directly proportional to the amount
of space discrepancy. It is all largely a matter of time and space.
In general, excellent orthodontic care can only be obtained with cooperative and informed
patients and parents. Once orthodontic therapy begins, the patient is expected to continue to
see the family dentist for regular checkups and routine care. Routine dental will help ensure
best results from orthodontic therapy.
Parents with any orthodontic concerns for their child should consult an orthodontist concerning
the need for orthodontic treatment. As a dental specialist, an orthodontist has elected to
limit his practice to this specific area or expertise and has received additional training by an
accredited dental school for advanced education.
