Farmington Orthodontics Office Describes Two Reasons Treatment Was Invented

Lakeville, United States, 11/22/2011 / SubmitMyPR /

Appearances are one- but not the only- reason for orthodontic treatment, says Dr. Trudy Bonvino, a Savage and Farmington orthodontics provider.

In addition to cosmetics, the most important reason for orthodontic treatment is to correct problems pertaining to the function of the teeth and jaws in children and adults. Bonvino, a child and adult orthodontics provider at Cosmopolitan Orthodontics, said conventional braces and clear aligner systems offer correction in these two areas:

Function
• Braces correct an improper bite relationship between a patient's upper and lower teeth.
• Orthodontic treatment is used to create a proper relationship between upper and lower jaws.
• It corrects the bite to allow for chewing food properly.
• Treatment eliminates severe teeth crowding.

Cosmetics
• Treatment eliminates large spaces between teeth.
• It also corrects mild crowding.

"Properly aligned and positioned teeth make it possible for patients to chew food properly without creating unusual wear on the teeth," says Bonvino, an adult and children's orthodontist. "When issues are identified and corrected early enough, more involved treatments such as orthognathic surgery can be prevented."

Bonvino advises parents to have their children evaluated by an orthodontic professional by age 7. Why? It is the age recognized by the American Association of Orthodontists as the perfect age for determining whether functional issues are evident that should be corrected through early interceptive treatment.
