Poor tooth alignment can lead to several other dental problems, such as tooth loss, chipped or cracked teeth, and periodontal disease, if left unchecked.
- [Maintaining Your Identity with Braces](https://www.k-orthodontics.com/blogs/maintaining-your-identity-with-braces/): It dawned on you the first time you looked in the mirror and saw what you looked like in your new braces: You not only look a little different, you feel different, too.

- [How to Care for Your Retainer and Make It Work for You](https://www.k-orthodontics.com/blogs/how-to-care-for-your-retainer-and-make-it-work-for-you/): Wearing a retainer can help you keep your teeth straight, but remembering to put it in every day can be difficult. No matter how old you are, getting into the routine of putting in your retainer at night can be tricky. Whether you’re helping a child or teenager with his or her retainer or dealing with your own, taking care of your retainer is critical. You may know all about braces, but wearing a retainer is a different story. While the process is relatively simple, it is something you need to understand. Use this guide to learn more about how to... [Read More]
- [Surgical Orthodontics: Procedures, Receiving the Treatment, and the Aftermath](https://www.k-orthodontics.com/blogs/surgical-orthodontics-procedures-receiving-the-treatment-and-the-aftermath/): Hollywood stars thank their spouses, their managers, even their fitness gurus.

- [Different Types of Braces You Can Get to Straighten Your Teeth](https://www.k-orthodontics.com/blogs/different-types-of-braces-you-can-get-to-straighten-your-teeth/): If you’re contemplating getting braces, you’re probably hearing that you’ll have plenty to smile about once your teeth are straightened and the experience is over. But your choices in braces are worth smiling about, too. While your parents had no choice about the matter—orthodontists fitted their patients with metal braces and only metal braces—you can now choose from different types of braces, including metal, ceramic, or Invisalign. Consider: Metal Braces Of the different types of braces available today, metal braces are the ones that your parents had and what most people still picture when they think of braces. Back then, metal... [Read More]

- [4 Signs It’s Time to Get Braces](https://www.k-orthodontics.com/blogs/4-signs-its-time-to-get-braces/): There comes a time when it is apparent that a child should be checked to see if he or she needs braces. As children’s mouths form, genetics and habits like thumb-sucking can lead to crooked teeth and other abnormalities in the mouth structure that can have an impact on how they eat, their speech patterns, and their appearance. Dentists and orthodontists will look for common signs that indicate the need for orthodontic treatment.
- [Benefits That Come From an Early Orthodontic Treatment](https://www.k-orthodontics.com/blogs/benefits-that-come-from-an-early-orthodontic-treatment/): Early orthodontic treatment, also known as “interceptive” or “phase one” treatment, can begin as early as age seven. This is the age when permanent teeth first begin to push their way in and when orthodontic problems first begin to appear. For this reason, the AAO (American Association of Orthodontics) recommends that children as young as seven years old be screened to determine their need for orthodontic treatment.
- [6 Frequently Asked Questions about Orthodontic Treatment](https://www.k-orthodontics.com/blogs/6-frequently-asked-questions-about-orthodontic-treatment/): When you are thinking about getting braces for yourself or for your child, you’re bound to have a few questions before you want to jump into the process.

- [It’s Never Too Late to Get Braces!](https://www.k-orthodontics.com/blogs/its-never-too-late-to-get-braces/): You are probably familiar with the idea of correcting children’s bite issues with braces. What you might not know is that about 25 percent of the patients seeking help with orthodontic problems are people over the age of eighteen. That’s right, adults with braces just like you. Adult problems are similar to those of youngsters and include crooked teeth, overcrowding of teeth, overbites, underbites, and misaligned teeth. Without treatment, these problems cause pain in the joints of the jaw and trouble chewing and can evolve into serious dental issues like gingivitis or periodontitis. It’s possible you were treated with braces when... [Read More]
- [5 Reasons Why it’s Important to Take Good Care of Your Mouth](https://www.k-orthodontics.com/blogs/5-reasons-why-its-important-to-take-good-care-of-your-mouth/): Your mouth is relatively easy to overlook — until it isn’t. You probably don’t spend a lot of time thinking about your mouth when your lips, tongue, teeth, gums and salivary glands are properly functioning. But when they’re not — when you’ve got a cavity, canker sore or an inflamed taste bud on the tongue — you’re probably well aware of it.
- [The Three Phases of What to Expect With Braces](https://www.k-orthodontics.com/blogs/three-phases-of-what-to-expect-with-braces/): A straight, bright smile is one of the most everlasting gifts you can give to your son or daughter. Hygienically, straight, even teeth are easier to brush and floss, which means the subsequent dental work that comes from difficult-to-reach tooth surfaces will be minimized by early orthodontics. Cosmetically, a bright, straight smile is noticeable and attractive. Emotionally, a child with the benefits afforded by early orthodontic intervention will be positively impacted. Better oral hygiene and a cosmetically attractive smile will mean enhanced confidence and self-esteem for your son or daughter. If you’ve decided to invest in braces, you can expect three... [Read More]
- [The Truth About Pacifiers, Thumb Sucking and Severe Overbites](https://www.k-orthodontics.com/blogs/the-truth-about-pacifiers-thumb-sucking-and-severe-overbites/): It might sound funny to some, but babies are natural suckers. In fact, many suck their thumbs or fingers while still in the womb. It’s an entirely natural behavior that allows them to feed and grow. It also helps them feel more comfortable and settle into a great big new world. It’s no wonder, then, that when babies can’t quite find their thumbs and don’t have anything on which to suck, they start to get a little agitated and start to cry. No one wants their baby to be uncomfortable — and no one enjoys the sound of a crying baby —... [Read More]
- [Stained Teeth After Braces? What You Can Do Now](https://www.k-orthodontics.com/blogs/stained-teeth-after-braces-what-you-can-do-now/): Many children and young adults wear orthodontic braces to correct facial irregularities, and the results are amazing. However, some patients discover stained teeth after braces are removed. After all the time, effort, and expense put into braces, these stains, caused by plaque that accumulated on the teeth around the brace attachment points, can seem doubly frustrating. The stains are usually white, and there’s often a slight indentation and roughness to the tooth. Although over time these spots fade slightly, the only way to remove them completely is through specialist treatment.
- [Problems Caused by Malocclusions and How to Fix Them](https://www.k-orthodontics.com/blogs/problems-caused-by-malocclusions-and-how-to-fix-them/): As your son or daughter’s permanent teeth begin to replace their baby teeth, you may notice that the teeth don’t quite line up correctly, or perhaps during a routine dental exam, X-rays show poor alignment. The misalignment of teeth is known as malocclusion, and if left untreated, it can cause problems with your child’s oral health throughout their life. Potential problems can range from minor to serious.
- [Why Early Intervention of Orthodontic Problems is So Essential](https://www.k-orthodontics.com/blogs/why-early-intervention-of-orthodontic-problems-is-so-essential/): Human nature sometimes causes us to ignore a situation until it becomes a crisis. Often, if you reach the crisis stage, the cost in both money and outcome is greater than at an earlier stage. One important area where early intervention will save money and suffering is your periodontal health. If you have periodontal issues, you should seek professional help as soon as you recognize the problem. Many parents know, or at least suspect, that to correct a variety of bite problems, their children will need treatment at some age, and usually with orthodontic appliances. These types of problems often become apparent... [Read More]

- [Three Types of Retainers After Braces and How to Keep Them Clean](https://www.k-orthodontics.com/blogs/three-types-of-retainers-after-braces-and-how-to-keep-them-clean/): If you’re currently wearing braces, you’re no doubt looking forward to the day they finally come off, and you’re free of brackets, bands and food restrictions. When that happy day arrives and you’re finished with the active portion of your orthodontic treatment, you’ll enter the next phase — retention. Once you’re in this critical phase, you’ll need to wear a custom-fitted appliance called a retainer.
- [Financing Orthodontic Treatment: It’s Easier than You Think!](https://www.k-orthodontics.com/blogs/financing-orthodontic-treatment-its-easier-than-you-think/): One of the main reasons parents opt for braces for their kids is to correct a severe overbite situation. This is the kind of gift a parent can give their child that will benefit them for the rest of their lives. Of course, as with any major medical procedure, the cost will be an issue for braces. However, braces might be easier to finance than you think, especially when you explore the orthodontist financing options available through Kapadia Orthodontics. Orthodontist Financing Options The cost of a treatment plan varies with each patient. Not only will the actual office visits have to... [Read More]
- [All You Need to Know About Invisalign](https://www.k-orthodontics.com/blogs/all-you-need-to-know-about-invisalign/): Are you dreaming about a straighter smile? You might want to consider Invisalign—clear braces often used by teens and adults who want to improve their smile. Invisalign braces are so cosmetic that when you’re wearing them, others will hardly notice.
- [Blast from the Past: Orthodontics Then and Now](https://www.k-orthodontics.com/blogs/blast-from-the-past-orthodontics-then-and-now/): Orthodontics has a fancy Latin-based name, but the truth of the matter is that people have been experimenting with this type of treatment for thousands of years. Though it’s a modern profession, the idea of modifying one’s teeth and facial structure by modifying gums, jaw, and teeth dates back to ancient society.

But, like many people, you might not know enough facts about orthodontics to learn what options are out there for your teeth.

You’re not alone. Even if you take care of your teeth with brushing and flossing, you could still have crooked teeth and a less-than-ideal bite.

- [Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs)](https://www.k-orthodontics.com/technology/tads/): TADs are small titanium implants or miniscrews inserted into the bone surrounding the teeth.  They are used for anchoring certain teeth during orthodontic treatment.  This technology allows the orthodontist to move certain teeth without affecting others since the TAD connects with the jaw bone.  The use of TADs can result in more predictable movements, shorter treatment times, and overall better results. Temporary anchorage devices are placed after the area of insertion is numbed, and the entire process takes only a few minutes.  It is normal to experience minor soreness after the procedure, but this discomfort will be gone within 1-2 days. ... [Read More]

In the past, Class II correction meant the use of headgear for several hours a day or wearing rubber bands consistently for many months.  Other appliances also worked completely inside the mouth, but were bulky and had to be fabricated by an outside dental laboratory after impressions of your teeth were taken. 3M Unitek has developed the Forsus™ Fatigue Resistant Device to address... [Read More]

- [Surgical Orthodontics in Oviedo, FL](https://www.k-orthodontics.com/treatments/surgical-orthodontics/): Similar to how orthodontics involves repositioning teeth, surgical orthodontics (orthognathic surgery) entails moving the jaws into proper alignment.  The teeth can only be moved so far within the supporting jaw structures with orthodontics alone.  When the jaws are misaligned to the point of preventing the upper and lower teeth from fitting together, surgical orthodontics is required.  Orthognathic surgery can improve the ability to bite, speak, and breathe for these patients.  Besides jaw function, surgical orthodontics can also drastically improve facial form and esthetics. When Is Surgical Orthodontics Needed? Orthognathic surgery is performed when jaw growth is finished.  This is normally around... [Read More]

Early treatment can also help create space for crowded teeth, improve... [Read More]
