Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontics focuses on improving bite alignment and facial aesthetics by correcting misaligned teeth or crooked bites. The goal of orthodontics is to move the teeth into their ideal positions so they can function properly and look great at the same time.

There are many reasons why someone might need orthodontic treatment. Some common causes include:

The Orthodontic Treatment Process

Our orthodontist will first examine your mouth and take note of any issues they find. Next, we’ll take a series of x-rays to determine if any underlying problems could be contributing to your malocclusion (misalignment). Once these issues have been identified, our orthodontist will develop a customized treatment plan for you. This may include traditional dental braces, clear aligners, or other methods, depending on your needs.

Orthodontic Treatment We Offer

Dental Braces

Traditional braces use metal brackets and wires to reposition the teeth. Braces are applied directly to the teeth with brackets. Wires made from stainless steel or titanium connect each bracket to an archwire. As the wire moves, it exerts gentle forces on the teeth, gradually moving them toward their correct position.

Clear Aligners

Clear Aligners are custom made trays that fit snugly over your teeth. They’re removable and comfortable, but unlike traditional metal braces, they are nearly invisible, and you can take them out for eating, drinking, and brushing. Clear aligners are designed to gradually shift your teeth into place over the course of several months.
