An orthodontist is trained in a special branch of dentistry dedicated to correcting misalignments of the teeth and jaw. Orthodontists work to address a wide range of irregularities in the arrangement of your oral structures, from malocclusion (a poor bite) and overcrowding to aesthetic facial changes caused by bad jaw alignment. With extensive knowledge on the developing neuromuscular and skeletal facial anatomy, orthodontists are highly experienced in the detection, interception, and amelioration of biting issues. In conjunction with resolving the functional concerns caused by a poorly-aligned jawincluding speech problems, difficulty chewing, facial asymmetry, and TMJ Disorder symptomsorthodontists also strive to create a beautiful, even smile for patients in the least obstructive way possible. This often involves employing cutting-edge orthodontic systems, such as Invisalign and cosmetic braces, to straighten teeth for discreet, effective treatment.

Your child should be screened for orthodontic treatment by the age of seven, which is typically when most children have begun to develop some permanent teeth. Early detection and evaluation of teeth and jaw misalignment can allow your orthodontist to detect any existing or developing biting issues and begin prompt treatment planning before such complications are exacerbated. After this comprehensive examination, your orthodontist can assess whether preliminary orthodontic appliances for your child are necessary, as well as determine the best time to start treatment in the event that intervention is required. In most cases, child orthodontics can decrease the risk of more complex problems arising in the future and, if appropriate, minimize the amount of time your child has to wear braces.

In selecting a qualified orthodontist to treat your concerns, it is essential to choose an experienced professional who is attuned to the latest orthodontic technologies and well-equipped to address your unique needs. Given the range of available options at your disposal, our team has put together some tips to help you narrow your search:

A periodontist is a dental specialist who focuses exclusively on maintaining and restoring the health of the soft tissues surrounding the teeth. Specifically, periodontists focus on preventing, diagnosing, and treating the various stages of gum disease or other conditions in which the gum tissue is inflamed. Periodontists are also trained to place dental implants, and often have knowledge in the aesthetic principles of dentistry that can achieve a beautiful, natural-looking restoration. With completion of specialized educational requirements beyond dental school, periodontists are trained to perform an array of periodontal treatments for cases that range from the early stages of gingivitis to more advanced gum diseasecalled periodontitis.

While general dentists are typically trained to treat early gum disease, the need for a periodontist may arise if there are signs of the teeth losing attachment to the gum tissue. This can occur when plaque begins to build up around the teeth, usually as a result of absent or ineffective daily oral hygiene. As plaque continues to collect and periodontal disease progresses into more severe stages, the underlying bone and gums can recede and ultimately cause infection, as well as tooth loss. Since the initial signs of gum disease can quickly advance into more severe symptoms, it is important to undergo an evaluation from a periodontist as soon as you have a concern of gum disease. If recognized in its early stages, periodontal disease can be treated easily and result in the restored health of your teeth and gums.
