Hamilton Braces: Would You Benefit?

Everyone can benefit from having healthy teeth and proper jaw alignment. Only your dentist or orthodontist can decide if you would be a good candidate and benefit from braces in Hamilton.

For most people, all that they are concerned about when thinking of orthodontic treatment and braces is a nice smile. However, braces also correct dental problems (or malocclusions) such as:

Crowding - Crooked and crowded teeth are hard to clean which can lead to cavities, abnormal wear of tooth surfaces, gum disease, bone loss and eventual tooth loss. In severe cases, teeth may be completely blocked out and unable to erupt.

Spacing - Spaces between teeth because of missing teeth or small teeth can detract from a pleasing smile.

Overbite - is when the upper front teeth are too far forward. It can lead to difficulties in chewing and biting into the roof of the mouth. An overbite can detract from a pleasing smile and facial balance.

Underbite - is when the lower teeth are too far forward or the upper teeth are too far back. An underbite can also lead to difficulties in chewing and detract from a pleasing smile and facial balance.

Crossbite - is when the upper teeth are inside the lower teeth. A crossbite can lead to abnormal wear of tooth surfaces, misalignment of the jaw joints, jaws that shift on chewing, biting the cheek or improper facial balance.

Open bite - is when there is space between the upper and lower teeth. This can be at the front or at the back and can lead to difficulties in chewing, abnormal wear of tooth surfaces, excessive stress on certain teeth or the jaw joints. An open bite can detract from a pleasing smile and can interfere with speech. It is often associated with habits such as mouthbreathing.

Thumb or finger sucking - Your orthodontist can help eliminate habits which can cause serious dental malocclusions.

Early or late loss of baby teeth - can cause improper development of the bite and lead to the need for Hamilton braces.

Jaws that are out of proportion to the rest of the face - can lead to abnormal tooth wear, difficulties in chewing, excessive stress on teeth or the jaw joints and can detract from a pleasing smile. Jaw surgery may be required to balance facial proportions in some cases.
