Best Orthodontist in Ghatkopar Mumbai
Orthodontics
is a branch of dentistry that specializes in treating patients with improper
positioning of teeth when the mouth is closed (malocclusion), which results in
an improper bite. An orthodontist is a type of dentist who
specializes in straightening crooked teeth. A dentist can fill cavities and
encourage you to floss, but an orthodontist can help straighten
crooked teeth or misaligned jaws. Dr. Hemanshu Dave's specializes is orthodontistry.
The
fact that 7 in 10 dental disorders are overbites (as cited by dental.net), is an eye-opening
statistic. Dr Leena Nayak's Dental Care
Clinic in Ghatkopar offers wide range of orthodontic treatments. There are two primary types of overbites: horizontal
and vertical. Horizontal overbites are classified as teeth that jut out in
front of the bottom teeth. Vertical overbites occur when the top teeth
significantly overlap the bottom teeth.
Once an
overbite has developed, it can cause several physical ailments such as chewing
problems, lisps, jaw pain, cavities and gum disease not to mention psychological issues associated
with self-consciousness and awkwardness.
Orthodontists usually use braces and clear aligners
to set the patient's teeth. Braces use a two-stage process and are still the
most common treatment for overbites. In stage one, metal brackets are fastened
to the patient’s teeth and then connected with a metal wire to straighten and
align teeth.
Once your
teeth are straight, Dr. Hemanshu Dave will
focus on fixing your overbite. In stage two, rubber bands, coils and springs
are added to the braces to slowly shift your jaw line into place. The entire
treatment can range from six months to two years.
Sometimes, to shift your teeth, a certain amount of
space is required to anticipate their movement. However, if you have overly
crowded teeth, there may not be enough space for teeth to properly shift. In
such cases a tooth extraction is performed.
In extreme cases and when an overbite is skeletal,
surgery may be required to reposition the jaw.
Dr Leena Nayak's Dental Care Clinic in Ghatkopar is well equipped to handle such cases and provide optimal orthodontic
services and ensure satisfactory results.
