Why Orthodontics? It's All About The Bite!

By Rey Vetangelo


If you've been looking for a great dentist in South Jordan, you've probably found Out Of This World Dentistry, but did you know we provide orthodontic care as well? Our number one goal is making sure you've got a healthy smile, and orthodontics is a big part of that.

You might have thought that orthodontics was all about appearances, but it's really much more than that. Orthodontics can make your smile look better, but we want to get your teeth and jaws working well together. That comes down to one thing: your bite.

* Teeth cleanings will help prevent gum disease. Sometimes brushing alone cannot keep the plaque building up around your teeth from causing bacteria from ruling your mouth. Plaque is a toxin that irritates your gums and the rest of your mouth, it results in inflammation and gingivitis. Sever stages of gum disease result in actual decay and erosion of your gums - trust us that is a painful surgery to fix.

Each mouth is a little different as any Draper dentist can attest to. You are working against the different chemical make up unique to you. This will determine what type of toothbrush you need, what toothpaste you should use, and what bacteria is growing in your mouth. Understanding the bacteria will help you fight against it, for example, by avoiding certain foods.

Orthodontists know all about teeth: they went to dental school, just like your dentist. What's more, after graduating from dental school, they studied for an additional two years at an accredited orthodontic residency program. All this extra training lets your orthodontist see the big picture, which is much more than cavities and plaque. It's all about your overall healthy smile!

* No body likes to talk with someone who has bad breath- cleaning your teeth can actually help prevent that. As you know, halitosis results from poor oral hygiene. Food and mucus coat the surface of your teeth and gums, unclean dentures, or throat infections can all assist with the foul smell of bad breath.

In-depth knowledge of all the elements of a healthy bite is of the utmost importance, and it's how orthodontists get to the root of your dental problems. Maybe you just want to fix your crooked teeth-an orthodontist knows how to look for the underlying issues that might be causing those teeth to become crooked.

Orthodontists have many tools at their disposal to help improve your bite, and with their expertise they can choose the best possible treatment for you. There are many modern advances in orthodontics, like the use of clear aligners and more effective braces. Keeping in mind your wishes, an orthodontist has what it takes to find the most effective path.

You will enjoy healthy teeth for a lifetime if you take care of them during your regular appointments. Schedule your next appointment with a local South Jordan dentist to make sure that you are keeping your mouth healthy!
