Orthodontics in Hackensack, NJ


Orthodontics

Orthodontics focuses on straightening teeth and aligning your bite correctly. You may need orthodontics if you have misaligned teeth or teeth that are crooked, overlapping, or rotated out of position.

There are numerous orthodontic solutions available, including:

  • Traditional metal braces.

  • Clear or invisible braces that can be fixed or removable

  • Invisalign clear aligners.

What is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a dental specialty focusing on how your teeth and jaws meet together. An orthodontist can diagnose and treat malocclusion or a bad bite where teeth do not meet together correctly. It uses removable and fixed appliances to reposition teeth.

In younger patients, orthodontists can guide the growth of their teeth and jaws as they are still developing, creating a healthier bite.

Why Is Orthodontics Important?

How your teeth bite together can significantly affect your dental health. Below are some of the ways your oral health can be impacted.

  • When teeth are misaligned, it makes it trickier to bite and chew properly.

  • Some teeth may bite together before others, increasing wear and tear on these teeth. Consequently, they may begin to chip and crack.

  • Teeth that are overlapping, rotated, or tightly packed are trickier to keep clean, increasing the risk of oral diseases, including gum disease and tooth decay.

  • Gaps between teeth can act as food traps, increasing the risk of gum disease and tooth decay.

  • A misaligned bite can place pressure on the jaw joints, potentially causing a painful disorder called TMJ, where the jaw joints, called temporomandibular joints, become inflamed and sore.
