Some common issues that adults face and can be treated with interdisciplinary orthodontics include:

1. Severe Misalignment

Crowded Teeth: When teeth are too close together, making it difficult to clean properly and leading to potential decay or gum disease.
Spacing Issues: Gaps between teeth that can affect both appearance and function.

2. Bite Problems

Overbite: When the upper front teeth significantly overlap the lower front teeth, which can cause discomfort or jaw problems.
Underbite: When the lower front teeth extend beyond the upper front teeth, potentially affecting chewing and speaking.
Crossbite: When some upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth, which can lead to uneven wear and jaw issues.
Open Bite: When the front teeth do not touch when the back teeth are closed, which can impact chewing and speaking.

3. Jaw Alignment Issues

Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMD): Pain and dysfunction of the jaw joint and muscles, often linked to misalignment.
Asymmetrical Jaw Growth: Uneven growth of the upper and lower jaws that can cause cosmetic and functional problems.

4. Complex Dental Restorations

Implants and Bridges: Orthodontics can be used to create the ideal spacing and alignment before placing implants or bridges.
Crowns and Veneers: Orthodontics may be used to align teeth before placing crowns or veneers for improved aesthetics and function.

5. Periodontal Concerns

Gum Disease: Aligning teeth properly can make it easier to maintain oral hygiene and manage gum disease.
Gum Recession: Proper alignment can reduce the risk of further gum recession and help with overall gum health.

6. Aesthetic Concerns

Smile Design: Orthodontics can work in tandem with cosmetic dentistry to create a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing smile.
Facial Harmony: Adjusting teeth alignment can improve overall facial balance and aesthetics.

7. Sleep Apnea and Breathing Issues

Sleep Apnea: Orthodontic treatment may help in conjunction with other therapies to address sleep apnea and improve airflow.
Breathing Problems: Correcting jaw alignment can assist in improving breathing issues related to oral and nasal passages.

8. Functional Problems

Difficulty Chewing: Misaligned teeth or jaws can impact chewing efficiency and comfort.
Speech Issues: Certain misalignments can affect speech clarity and articulation.

Interdisciplinary Approach

The interdisciplinary approach typically involves collaboration among orthodontists, oral surgeons, periodontists, prosthodontists, and other dental specialists to develop a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to the patient’s needs. This holistic approach ensures that all aspects of the patient’s dental health and function are addressed, leading to more effective and satisfying outcomes.
