Cosmetic dentist Stratford CT, Dr. Mark Samuels, talks about orthodontics. Orthodontic work consists of addressing the form of the mouth, jawbone and the position of the teeth. Crooked teeth and teeth that do not fit together correctly are harder to keep clean, are at risk of being lost early due to tooth decay and periodontal disease, and cause extra stress on the chewing muscles that can lead to headaches, TMJ syndrome and neck, shoulder and back pain. Teeth that are crooked or not in the right place can also detract from one's appearance. The benefits of orthodontic treatment include a healthier mouth, a more pleasing appearance, and teeth that are more likely to last a lifetime. If you have any of the following, you may be a candidate for orthodontic treatment: overbite, under bite, cross bite, open bite, crowding, etc.
