About Orthodontics

  Orthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry that deals with misaligned teeth. These misalignments can be problematic to patients for a number of reasons. For instance, the cosmetic concerns of misaligned teeth can cause self-esteem issues in adults and children alike. Furthermore, these misalignments can have a serious impact on the jaw, chewing, teeth crowding, and more. Dr. Kapadia has undergone an orthodontic treatment himself and understands the profound impact orthodontics can have on the well-being of patients. Methods and practices in orthodontics are always evolving. Many adults may remember seeing their classmates wearing devices such as headgear as children. Today, many common alignment problems can be solved with discreet metal or plastic braces.

Orthodontics for Children

There is no exact age for children to begin orthodontic treatment.  The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children visit the orthodontist at around age 7, when many baby teeth are still present.  Orthodontic treatment may not begin at this time, but this allows your child to have maximum dental care.  If treatment is needed, it may consist of limited braces, expanders, or simply space maintainers depending on the severity of the problem.  Beginning treatment early in some children can help prevent a more complicated, longer treatment later in life.

Orthodontics for Adults

You are never too old for braces!  In fact, the American Association of Orthodontists states that one in five orthodontic patients is over the age of 21.  More and more adults are choosing to receive treatment because they understand the importance of maintaining their health, and they want to feel better about their appearance.  Orthodontic treatment at later stages in life can improve one’s confidence and self-esteem that can have a lasting effect on personal and work life.
