Oral health is closely related to the overall health of the body, as the mouth reflects signs and symptoms of health and disease. Some pathologies affecting the body as a whole may first manifest in the oral cavity. Furthermore, some lesions can be seen in the mouth that may indicate vitamin deficiencies, mineral deficiencies, or poor nutritional status. For these reasons, oral health is important and closely related to a person's overall health and well-being.
A classic example of the impact of oral health on overall health is periodontal disease, which, in addition to causing tooth loss, also increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
Regarding orthodontics, this is not merely a cosmetic issue aimed at achieving perfect teeth; rather, it has become one of the fundamental keys to oral health.
Wearing braces is becoming increasingly common for people of all ages. There's a brace that best suits your needs and circumstances. At our clinic, we offer highly personalized braces, created exclusively for each of our patients, such as Invisalign or Insignia.
Orthodontics is a specialty in dentistry that specializes in diagnosing, correcting, and even preventing abnormalities (malocclusions) in the shape, position, and function of teeth and jaws. It sometimes modifies the face and corrects functional chewing disorders.
Wearing braces It is not only useful for showing off a perfect smile, but to solve this type of complications, such as defective chewing, although many people resort to it for purely aesthetic purposes.
The most common anomalies are:
- Bad alignment or crowding of teeth
- The forward or backward position of the teeth in relation to the jaws
- Displacement of one of the jaws…etc.
However, the most important thing is the consequences that orthodontic treatment has on oral health, such as avoiding cavities, periodontal disease, premature loss of teeth, eliminate muscle tension generated by malformations of the masticatory muscles, thus relieving problems in the ear, neck, jaw, head and/or cervical spine.
