Problems arising from a wrong dental position 

When teeth do not occupy the place they should, a multitude of alterations and pathologist can arise that sometimes are not only reflected in the mouth. The idea is to prevent it; braces can even be placed on young children. The following are just some of the problems that can be avoided:

 –       Pain in the jaw and in the upper third of the body due to excessive tension in the jaw.

Who may need braces in Kingston? 

First, it is important to assume that only a Kingston dentist is qualified to determine who may need braces. Beforehand, at ho-rough study is essential to determine both the state of the patient's mouth and the level of the dental malformation they suffer from. 

In very general terms, braces in Kingston are recommended to treat patients who have the following problems in the oral cavity: 

Dental Mal positions or incisors at the wrong angle: Braces help restore displaced or protruding teeth to their proper position properly.

Dental crowding or diastase: teeth that are superimposed or too far apart can causes ever functional and aesthetic problems, which braces correct without great difficulty.

Bite problems arise when the upper and lower arches do not match. This may be an overbite(the upper front teeth are further forward than the lower ones), an under bite(the lower front teeth "cover" the upper ones), or an open or cross bite. All of these are corrected with braces.

Premature tooth loss: if baby teeth fall out prematurely, the remaining teeth will tend to fill the gap, preventing the average growth of permanent teeth. Braces may be needed to keep this space open.

Mandibular or maxillary asymmetry: This type of deformation can be hereditary or acquired during development and can cause severe functional and aesthetic problems. It is corrected with braces and maxilla facial surgery. 

These symptoms can be seen with the naked eye and indicate the need for braces in Kingston. 

Nevertheless, if tooth wear or jaw pain occurs, it is also advisable to go to our Kingston dentist in case there is another problem that may require braces.
