Improved Access for Cleaning
Crowded teeth can be difficult to keep clean and provide areas for
bacteria and food to stagnate. This can accelerate dental caries
(decay) and periodontal (gum) disease.
Reduced Risk of Dental Injuries
Protruding upper incisors are at increased risk of damage from
falls, collisions and sporting accidents. A deep bite can also be
traumatic and result in gum stripping with early tooth loss.
Facilitation of Restorative Treatment
Orthodontic treatment can enhance the results of restorative dental
treatment particularly for tooth replacement. It can help to improve
the appearance and lifespan of both implant and non-implant based
restorations.
Facilitation of Orthognathic Surgery
Orthodontic treatment is an integral part of the management of
facial deformity. Dr Gill works closely with a leading team of
surgeons in managing facial deformity.
Other Benefits
Orthodontic treatment can help to provide space for crowded wisdom
teeth and reduce the risk of impaction.
