Orthodontics: Helping people look
Good and Eat Well
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals with the study and treatment
of irregular teeth and bite problems.
Rochester hills dentist explains human
mouth is not as simple as it looks, a simple disharmony among the teeth may
result into major problems.
In a proper bite the cusps on the upper jaw line up
with the fossa on the lower jaw.
If there is disharmony among the lower and
upper line of teeth like jaws and teeth are too far forwarded or too far back or
when upper teeth are excessively ahead of the lower teeth then the problem
is termed as overjet.
When lower teeth are in front of the upper teeth it is called an anterior
crossbite.
An ideal bite a slight overjet.
According to Rochester hills dentist in
a proper bite the upper jaw is slightly wider than the lower jaw this condition
helps in fitting the cusps and fossa properly for chewing food particles.
If the
arch is too narrow the cusps and fossa do not fit together
