Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment doesn’t just change the aesthetics of a smile, orthodontic treatment facilitates bite correction for misaligned bites, also called malocclusions. Bite problems often develop due to genetics, bad habits like thumb-sucking, airway and breathing issues, or as a result of tooth or jaw misalignment. Malocclusions can affect the way you smile, chew, clean your teeth, or feel about your smile. Dr. Gaworski utilizes orthodontics to remedy these problems, improve your oral health, and improve the appearance of your smile.
According to research from the American Association of Orthodontists, untreated malocclusions can create various oral health issues. Crowded teeth make proper brushing and flossing more difficult, which may contribute to tooth decay and/or gum disease. Protruding teeth are more susceptible to accidental chipping. Cross bites can result in unfavorable growth and uneven tooth wear, and open bites can result in tongue-thrusting habits, as well as speech impediments. Bite correction with orthodontia will fix these problems. Ultimately, orthodontics does more than make a pretty smile – it creates a healthier you.
For the most successful treatment, Dr. Gaworski believes in working closely with your general dentist and possibly other dental specialists, to facilitate optimal results. We encourage regular cleanings and routine care visits to the general dentist so that your teeth remain healthy and strong during orthodontic treatment. In complex cases, interdisciplinary care may require Dr. Gaworski to collaborate with other specialists, as well as your restorative dentist, to construct a complete care plan and produce desirable results for the patients.
