Orthodontic treatments are regularly sought by individuals who have tooth and jaw irregularities that cause them discomfort or embarrassment. These treatments generally involve the use of braces or retainers, which gradually reposition the teeth to correct overbites, underbites and the crowding of teeth. Depending on the severity of the malocclusion (or bad bite), treatments may last anywhere from six months to three years.
The first step is to find a qualified Atlanta orthodontist who has a good reputation for providing affordable, high-quality dental care. During the initial appointment, the physician will determine the severity of the problem through a visual examination, facial photographs, x-rays and dental impressions. This thorough examination will allow for the discovery of the best treatment options available for the permanent realignment of the teeth and jaw.
In many cases, a few orthodontic-treatment options may be presented to the patient. Generally speaking, the ultimate decision comes down to affordability, comfort and results.
