The benefits of orthodontics can include:
correction of dental crowding and straightening of your teeth
correction of your bite so the front and back teeth meet evenly
reducing the chance of damage to prominent teeth
many people have crowded or crooked teeth, or their teeth do not meet correctly when they bite. These problems can mean it's harder to keep your teeth and gums clean and your teeth are more likely to become damaged.
In some cases, abnormal positioning of your teeth and jaw can affect the shape of your face. Orthodontics can also help in the treatment of other health problems, such as a cleft lip and palate.

To find out if you qualify, your dentist will need to refer you for a free nhs assessment. During this appointment our specialist orthodontist will review your teeth using the index of Orthodontic Treatment need (iotn). What is the iotn? the iotn is a rating system we use to determine whether you’re suitable for nhs-funded treatment. We’ll start by reviewing the health of your teeth, to see if it could be improved by braces with a score being provided on a scale of 1-5. The higher the score the higher the chance of receiving nhs funded treatment. In most cases, mainly scores of 4 and 5 qualify; however, if your case is borderline, 3 or below, we’ll also consider the appearance of your teeth and you may still qualify for treatment.
If you are suffering from root resorption following orthodontic treatment, has this been caused by negligence? root resorption is one of the leading problems arising from orthodontic treatment. It is an uncommon condition in adults, but a normal process that causes deciduous (baby) teeth to be lost. Root resorption can lead to the breakdown of the structure of teeth, and can cause, for example, root shortening eventually. This can be dangerous and ultimately leads to teeth becoming mobile (essentially, being able to move them in your mouth) and requiring extraction. Root resorption can occur during orthodontic treatment, as often there is added pressure onto the root surface of the tooth from the orthodontic appliance itself.
Talk to your orthodontist or oral health professional about how to care for your teeth during treatment. For example, if you’ve got braces, it’s even more important to brush, floss, and clean between your teeth regularly, as the brackets and wires can retain or trap more food particles and plaque. If using string or tape is too tricky, there are other methods to help keep the teeth and gums clean, such as floss threaders for braces or interdental toothbrushes. Interdental toothbrushes are small brushes that have been designed to get into small spaces including around brackets and the gaps between teeth.
Removable braces have a plastic base plate with a few wire components attached to them. Each of these components either fit the plate to the teeth or gently put pressure on the teeth to move them. Removable braces are still used for very specific purposes in orthodontics. See also: aftercare –.
After you have your braces off, your orthodontist will make a mould of your teeth and make a custom fitted retainer which you will have to wear up 1-2 years. These require proper cleaning and it is something you need to consider in the after care of your treatment. After your treatment, you will still have to maintain your smile with the use of a retainer. By not doing so, you teeth may revert back, undoing the time it took for the treatment to take effect.
