Crowded Teeth
Crowded teeth are a common issue we see often for both children and adults. Crowded teeth is simply a condition in which the patient has too many teeth, or the teeth are too large for the jaw size. Overcrowding leads to crooked teeth, generally jammed together, as growing teeth are forced out of alignment. It can result in a less than perfect smile, and can escalate problems with dental health and subsequent need for dental treatments such as fillings or root canals. Braces can effectively treat most crowded teeth conditions and are often used in conjunction with teeth extraction procedures, and in children, palate expanders.
Overbite and Cross bite

An overbite occurs when the upper jaw overlaps the lower jaw, affecting the proper closure of the teeth. A cross bite ensues when the alignment is reversed and the teeth in the lower jaw overlap the teeth in the upper jaw. Anterior cross bites occur when the overlap involves the front of the mouth, and posterior cross bite refers to teeth overlapping on the sides of the mouth. All types of misaligned teeth contribute to a variety of moderate to severe health problems, including headaches and earaches, chewing and biting difficulties, speech problems, and sometimes painful jaw joint pain. Overbites, and anterior and posterior cross bites can be amended, at any age, with braces. Early diagnosis is most useful as children's jaws are still developing and teeth can be re-positioned through jaw expansion
...e have observed braces can be pricey but, the outcome is pleasing. They aren’t just used to appearance but to improve oral health care. Insurance can pay an amount of the braces but, depending on your insurance. The application is a simple process with an adhesive to the teeth.

Another way braces have helped with being more responsible was with all of the extra cleaning I had to do. I had to learn a whole new way to floss my teeth. It was a difficult process, but I had to keep my teeth clean. I also had to use mouthwash every night, which was disgusting. Mouthwash is not the best tasting fluid, but it did keep my mouth minty fresh.
The article Poor Teeth was written by Sarah Smarsh with the goal in mind being to shed light on the issue between upper and lower class society in a particularly concrete way. Teeth and dental health are an easy thing for people to imagine in their head because everyone has a set whether they’re white and shiny or black and rotted. This makes it easy to draw a comparison between people that care for their teeth and those who don’t. However, access to dental knowledge and services which the lower class often times doesn’t have is very different between the poor and the rich. While the rich stroll through life showing off their perfect glossy white rows of teeth, there are less privileged people out there with barren mouths whose weak pale gums
“Train Tracks”, “Metal Mouth”, and “Brace Face” are all terms used to refer to people with orthodontic braces. Even through all the teasing, appointments, money, and pain, braces are worth it. Orthodontic braces are the worlds greatest invention because your teeth either make you or break you.
A bad bite occurs when your teeth are protrusive, crowded, meet in either abnormal way or does not meet or are spaced too far apart.

Orthodontic treatment can greatly improve ones’ self-esteem, attitude, and make ones’ life happier. A beautiful smile can always brighten someone day tremendously. The benefits of orthodontic treatment go beyond the apparent physical changes of an important and straighter smile; it is likewise a great way to mend a person’s overall self-image. Having a beautiful straight smile is imperative, even more important is the essential to alleviate any possible health problems associated with the teeth or jaw. Crooked teeth, poor eating and oral hygiene habits, or jaw problems may contribute to improper cleaning of teeth, leading to tooth decay and, possibly, gum disease or total tooth loss. Over time, excessive strain on gum tissue and the bone that maintenances the teeth may harm the jaw joints leading to problems such as headaches or face and neck pain. Orthodontic problems that go untreated can lead to abnormal wear of tooth surfaces, chewing and digestion difficulties, speech impairments, and self -esteem problems (www.grorthodontics.com).
Most people believe an orthodontist and a dentist have two extremely similar jobs all because they both work with the human mouth. This, however, is not entirely true. An orthodontist focuses on a patient's mouth, straightening teeth and even jaws when necessary. Orthodontists will always make sure that jaws are properly aligned before recommending braces. Depending on each patient, the number of years wearing braces can vary (“Become an Orthodontist”).
Throughout the years, I've learned to accept the fact that going to the dentist is as bad as it seems. In other words, no kid has ever liked going to the dentist, for the fact being that all they seem to do is dig through our mouths and jab at our gums. At one point or another, everyone is required to go to the dentist for either a filling, cavity, or just simply a cleaning, but that wasn't the case for me. I had to get my braces on. Doesn't sound as bad as it truly is but two years of dealing with metal in your mouth isn't my idea of “a walk in the park”. Not only is getting braces on a bad thing for me but the fact that it was early in the morning so I was tired and that fact that I felt like I was growing old just waiting for the dentist
The first dental visit should occur within six months after the presence of the first tooth or by a child’s first birthday. The first visit to the dentist should be enjoyable. Of course parents should refrain from any negative comments about the dentist around the child. The dentist and staff will explain the procedure that they will receive. It is important that you choose the right dentists who specialize in pediatric dental care.
Looking in my mom’s yearbook, majority of the students have braces. Comparing her yearbook to my yearbook from this year, almost half of my class has perfectly straight pearly white teeth and a few still have braces. Over the years, orthodontist have been putting children in braces earlier and faster than they did years ago. Due to this, some patients are having to get a second set of braces because their jaw has shifted and teeth are out of line again. Early orthodontic care is necessary for cases that are in desperate need to correct problems like an overbite or crossbite. Orthodontist are seeming to put braces and start treatment on children that have not even lost all over their primary teeth, causing the second set of braces later on. Are orthodontist giving their patients the best option for them or is it the best option for their pocket?

All my life I was asked the question, have I ever had braces before? I never really exactly saw what others seen in my teeth, until one day when I had my first real dentist visit. The dentist office was very interesting, from the way it looked to the way they operated (I always thought the dentist did the same as a doctor). As I went in for my cleaning the dentist saw that I had a couple cavities, I was trying to figure out what was a cavity. How is this affecting my nice teeth? Am I going to lose the tooth? All these things ran through my mind as I heard the news. The dentist came in and explain everything to me and my mom, gave us the option for fixing this problem. From that day forward I had a billion and one question about how the teeth
