Orthodontics / Braces

Apart from becoming more attractive through achieving a great smile, crooked or crowded teeth, overbite, underbite, incorrect jaw position are just some of the problems that can be corrected through having braces. If these concerns are left untreated, an individual might face worse results that can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, headaches and earaches, as well as speaking, biting or chewing problems. Luckily Apostol Dental offers orthodontic treatments or braces in Makati, for Kids and Adults.

The number of adults seeking orthodontic treatment is on the rise. At this point, 1 out of every 4 orthodontic patients is an adult. The way teeth move is basically the same in adults as in children.

Crowding, spaces between teeth, large overbites and underbites, protruding front teeth and teeth in abnormal positions are problems that may be corrected in adults by orthodontic treatment.

While there is no exact age for children to begin orthodontic treatment, the American Association of Orthodontists recommends visiting the orthodontist around age seven. The first permanent molars and incisors have usually come in by that time and crossbites, crowding and other problems can be evaluated.
