Health Benefits Of Orthodontic Treatment

Teeth play a very important role in human body as they help people chew and digest food, speak clearly, keep the jawline intact, and help them achieve a confident, attractive smile. As everyone relies on teeth daily for eating, their proper care is foremost. Some people have teeth that are not as straightforward or perfectly aligned as they would like to have. Misaligned teeth are harder to brush and floss and can lead to gradual wearing of tooth enamel that requires expensive and extensive dental procedures. Orthodontic treatment performed in Gurgaon at AK Global Dent can help in regaining the self-confidence of the patients.

What is orthodontic treatment?

Orthodontics is one of the branches of dentistry that relates to the development of dentition and occlusion, facial growth, and prevention as well as correction of occlusion anomalies (i.e. improperly positioned teeth and jaws). There are various orthodontic appliances like braces, Invisalign, headgear, retainers, etc. (both removable and fixed) offered at AK Global Dent, dental clinic in Gurgaon that people can choose from. They all work on the same concept i.e. to apply gentle pressure on the jaws and teeth so that they can slowly realign into a better position.




An orthodontic treatment ensures that the teeth function properly and provide an aesthetically pleasing smile. It is a complex biological process that can fix the dental issues over time by making changes in the facial bones, jawbones, and soft tissues whilst the teeth take their new positions in the mouth.

Who undergoes orthodontic treatment?

One can consult an orthodontist in Gurgaon if they are suffering from the following concerns:

  • Bite problems like overbite/ buck teeth (upper jaw sticks out over the lower teeth), underbite (a bulldog appearance when the upper teeth are too far back), crossbite (when upper teeth are not slightly down in front of the lower teeth), and open bite (which leaves space between the biting surfaces of side or/and front teeth) that results in speech, bite, and chewing difficulties.

  • Teeth misalignment

  • Teeth clenching or grinding

  • Protruding teeth that are prone to injuries

  • Facial asymmetry or imbalance

  • Gaps or spaces between teeth, normally due to tooth loss

  • Crowded mouth because of excessive teeth on the dental ridge

  • Jaws that are recessed, shift, make sounds or protrude

  • Mouth breathing

  • Late or an early loss of baby teeth

  • Bad oral habits like sucking of fingers or thumb

How does health benefit from Orthodontic treatment?

Aside from having a boost of self-esteem and confidence due to the aesthetic appearance of teeth, orthodontic treatment offers many health benefits. These include:

  • Reduced possibility of Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disordersTMJ disorder develops when there is excessive strain on the joints of the jaws due to misaligned teeth. This results in troubled closing or opening of the mouth and may also lead to headaches, facial pain, and jaw clicking.

  • Fewer chances of having tooth decay: People who have crooked or crowded teeth have difficulty cleaning them. As teeth are not kept clean, food particles can get lodged in between the teeth which further can cause the growth of acid-producing bacteria leading to tooth decay. Orthodontics can treat such teeth and minimize the possibility of plaque formation that causes tooth decay.

  • Reduced risk of Gum disease: With straight aligned teeth, there is less possibility of plaque build-up and a decreased possibility of having sore, inflamed, or bleeding gums.

  • Proper digestion of food: After any orthodontic treatment, the ability to chew and bite any food item is considerably improved. This allows individuals to have better digestion of what they eat and get the required nutrients from the food that is important for maintaining their overall health.

  • Better oral hygiene: Orthodontic treatment can provide a lifetime improvement of dental health. As the teeth become properly aligned, oral hygiene can be made better as flossing, brushing, and rinsing becomes easy. This decreases the possibility of having dental caries or cavities and gaps in between the teeth. Oral health is promoted that acts as the window for general health.
