Who is an orthodontist?

Orthodontics is one of the oldest professions that deals with the study of the causes of malocclusion and the placement of teeth, as well as the correction and prevention of abnormalities in the placement of teeth and malocclusion.

The field of orthodontics is not only aesthetic but also therapeutic stomatology, which takes care of many problems related to congenital and acquired anomalies, although many people mistakenly believe that an orthodontist works only on the beauty of the smile.

That is, an orthodontist is not a dentist with a wide range of services, but a narrow-profile specialist who helps people not only to get rid of complexes about their smile but also to prevent the development of a number of diseases that may arise as a result of occlusion.

To understand what is a pathology considered to be, let’s consider the norm. What is occlusion and why is it correct (physiological) and vice versa (abnormal)? Occlusion is the position of the upper and lower rows of teeth in relation to each other when a person closes their mouth. The ideal option sounds as follows: the upper incisors overlap the lower ones, and the upper canines cover the lower ones, the premolars of both jaws fit tightly to each other, the lower large angular teeth are closer to the oral cavity compared to the upper ones. The correctness of the occlusion is affected not only by the normal development of the facial skeleton and teeth, but also by the spine and feet.

Some signs of abnormal occlusion can be detected by the naked eye, but only a highly qualified orthodontist can determine the degree of severity, correctly diagnose and prescribe the necessary treatment.

Orthodontist deals with not only one pathology. Pathological wear and crowding of teeth, wide gaps between adjacent teeth, pain in the temporomandibular joints, disorders of the masticatory muscles, and others are the most common among the many pathologies treated by an orthodontist.

Modern stomatology, together with orthodontics, has wide possibilities of treatment that will be comfortable for every person, and the result does not have to wait for years.

An orthodontist is not only responsible for the treatment, but also for the support and sincere help. Every good doctor must have high professional knowledge and skills, use the latest methods for treatment, find an individual approach to each patient, understand what they want, as well as to constantly improve their qualifications and learn new methods of therapy.
