Alignment and bite
Orthodontics across participating downtown markets.
Orthodontics concerns the assessment and treatment of tooth alignment and bite relationships for children, teenagers and adults.
Orthodontic concerns
Crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, crossbites and other alignment or bite relationships may be assessed within this pathway. The clinical significance and appropriate treatment cannot be determined from appearance alone.
Treatment approaches
Treatment may involve braces, clear aligners or other orthodontic appliances. The choice depends on the nature and complexity of the issue, patient age and development, treatment objectives and professional assessment.
Retention and follow-up
Retention is commonly required after active tooth movement to help maintain the achieved position. The type and duration of retention, together with follow-up requirements, are established by the treating professional.
