  1. Welcome to Murray Orthodontics

  2. What is orthodontics? The area of dentistry known as orthodontics, focuses on addressing malocclusion, or unbalanced bites. Incorrect positioning of the teeth in the upper and lower jaws results in malocclusions. Malocclusion simply means the misalignment of teeth. The clearest sign of malocclusion is when the teeth are crooked or stick out. Malocclusion is commonly caused by genetics. Most people aren’t born with straight teeth. Common orthodontic treatments include traditional braces, clear aligners and removable retainers.

  3. Dental technology advanced in the twenty-first century, paving the way for the growth of the orthodontic specialty. The goal of orthodontics is to provide fixed or removable appliances to realign the jaws and/or teeth. Your dental health is greatly influenced by the alignment of your teeth. Enhancing the interface between your upper and lower teeth can lessen your risk of cavities, gum disease, and excessive wear and tear (erosion).

  4. Numerous factors might help determine what orthodontic procedures could be best for you and why your teeth are crooked in the first place. Early treatment is best, as it prevents problems from becoming more serious. Treatment can also be more difficult once growth has stopped. That said, orthodontic treatment can start at varying ages, depending on the case.

  5. The purpose of Murray Orthodontics therapy is to make your bite better. Straight and uniformly spaced teeth in your jaw will line up with opposing teeth. You can eat, chew, and speak correctly if you have a healthy bite. Despite the common misconception that orthodontists only treat kids and teenagers with braces, they can treat oral issues at any age.
