How Does Orthodontic Treatment Work?

When you get orthodontic treatment from Dr. Wheeler, orthodontic appliances, whether they are braces or invisible aligners, gradually move your teeth into their ideal alignment. You’ll be able to say goodbye to the overbite and crowded teeth at last! What makes this process possible is the amazing biology of our mouths. The pressure from the orthodontic appliance on the jaw bone activates specialized cells called osteoblasts and osteoclasts. The osteoclasts break down the bone around the teeth which allows the teeth to be moved slowly then the osteoblasts actually rebuild the bone tissue around the new position of your teeth!

Why Are Straight Teeth So Important?

Most of us know that properly aligned teeth look nicer than crooked ones, and knowing your smile looks good is great for your confidence; but did you know that proper alignment is also better for your health?

Having straight teeth and a good bite has several advantages:

  • – makes it easier to chew your food thoroughly (which is crucial for good digestion)
  • – is better for your jaw
  • – makes it easier to clean your teeth
  • – makes it easier to enunciate when you speak
  • – allows you to comfortably close your mouth while resting.

These are just a few of the reasons to consider getting orthodontic treatment with Dr. Wheeler!
