Orthodontics:

What are Orthodontics?

A range of braces and aligners to choose from!

Orthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities. The primary goal of orthodontic treatment is to align and straighten teeth, correct improper bites, and improve overall oral health.

Orthodontic problems can be inherited or acquired, and they can occur due to factors such as thumb sucking, dental trauma, early loss of primary teeth, or overcrowding. Common orthodontic issues include crooked or crowded teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and gaps between teeth.

What Dental Treatments Does Orthodontics Involve?

Orthodontic treatment typically involves braces; devices made of metal or ceramic brackets bonded to the teeth and connected by wires. These braces exert gentle pressure on the teeth to gradually move them into the desired positions. In some cases, orthodontic treatment may also involve using removable appliances or aligners, such as Invisalign.

 

Metal Braces

Metal braces will straighten your teeth and give you the confidence you need to show off your smile. Our experienced orthodontists ensure that your treatment is both effective and comfortable.

Why Choose Metal Braces?

  • Metal braces are a tried-and-true method for straightening teeth
  • They can correct a wide range of orthodontic issues, including crowding, gaps, and overbites
  • They are typically more affordable than other types of braces
  • With regular adjustments, treatment time is generally shorter than with clear aligners

 

Invisalign

Invisalign is a popular teeth straightening treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to gently shift your teeth into the desired position. With Invisalign, you can enjoy a straighter, healthier, and more confident smile without the hassle of traditional braces.

Why Choose Invisalign?

  • Discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces
  • Customized treatment plan to fit your specific needs and goals
  • Removable aligners allow for easy eating and oral hygiene
  • Shorter treatment time compared to traditional braces

 

Ceramic Braces

Unlike traditional metal braces, ceramic braces are less noticeable and are perfect for adults who want to straighten their teeth without the appearance of metal brackets.

Why Choose Ceramic Braces?

  • Ceramic braces are less visible than traditional metal braces, making them a popular option for adults
  • They can correct a wide range of orthodontic issues, including crowding, gaps, and overbites
  • They are designed to be more comfortable than traditional metal braces
  • Ceramic braces are also more resistant to staining, which can be a concern with traditional metal braces

 

Lingual Braces
