Becoming an orthodontist has been a highly educational experience, revealing various dental care problems, especially crooked teeth conditions caused by genetics, habits, trauma, and jawbone development. Treatments for crooked teeth are effective and involve the use of braces, which can be chosen based on cost, comfort, and treatment needs. Proper care for braces is essential and includes regular dental hygiene and visits to the orthodontist.

2. Becoming an orthodontist is the best thing that ever
happened to me. Ideally I have come to learn a lot
from this trade than I had anticipated before.

3. The first thing that I have
learned from being an
orthodontist is the numerous
forms of dental care problems
that we might experience.
Usually these problems will
include tooth decays or
cavities, bleeding gums, bad
breath, mouth cancer, and
crooked teeth conditions.

4. Another thing that I have learned is that one of the
most rampant dental healthcare conditions is usually
the crooked teeth conditions.
Crooked teeth conditions can come in form of
overly-crowded, over-jet, under-bite, over-bite,
open-bite, and gapped teeth.

5. • The causes of crooked tooth conditions also
vary. Ideally they include genetics – where
hormones are usually transferred from parent
to child through birth.
• Also they include addictive habits such as
thumb sucking and fear of pulling out the
baby teeth thus leading to misalignment of
permanent teeth.

6. Again these crooked teeth conditions can be caused by
accidents or traumas that may be sustained on our dental
formula. For instance falling and breaking the jaw or losing
some teeth.

7. • And finally the formation of the jawbone can
also lead to crooked teeth conditions.
Sometimes the jawbone can be under-
developed thus leading to limited space for
teeth development.
• But again if it is over developed then it could
lead to gapped teeth since there would be so
much space to be filled up by the number of
teeth developed.

8. • However the good thing that my career at Houston
Orthodontics has taught me is that crooked teeth
conditions are usually treatable.
• By the assistance of a trained medical professional
usually called the orthodontist ideal teeth alignment
can always be restored.
• In the most ideal cases these orthodontists will use
the best orthodontic procedure and the assistance of
ideal medical gadgets called braces to restore your
teeth alignment.

9. These braces can always come in two main forms
specifically removable gadgets or fixed gadgets
depending on your choice.

10. Ideally these braces will include traditional metal
braces such as those made of titanium. The most
resent ideal aligners such as invisalign, and finally the
teeth like ceramic braces.

11. And while many patients usually find it quite
of a challenge to choose their ideal form of
braces, I have learned that by watching the
cost of braces, color, age of the patient,
nature of treatment, and finally comfort an
ideal choice of brace can usually be arrived at.

12. • Another realization that I have made
is that most patients usually do not
know how to properly care for their
braces.
• Braces care is always very simple.
Use enough fluoride and brush your
teeth twice a day. Find the right
bristles. Floss at least twice a day.
Visit your orthodontist for proper
cleaning and adjustments, and above
all avoid hard foodstuffs.

13. And finally my most important lesson for
anyone who suffers from crooked teeth
condition is to find the most ideal
orthodontist. At Houston Orthodontics for
instance we are professionals, caring,
understanding, and welcoming.
