Orthodontics

Orthodontics offers an effective approach to aligning teeth. While these treatments primarily focus on enhancing smiles by straightening teeth, they also contribute to restoring functionality to the teeth, jaw, and bite.

The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that all children undergo an orthodontic evaluation by the age of 7, regardless of the number of erupted teeth. This early assessment enables orthodontists to anticipate potential structural changes as children grow. Addressing such changes with braces at an early stage not only preserves a child's smile but also helps prevent future dental issues. Additionally, we provide tailored orthodontic solutions for adults.

Types of Orthodontics

Conventional Metal Braces

This type of braces is widely used and highly effective in correcting irregularities in smiles.

Invisalign® Clear Aligners

Clear in appearance and removable, these braces are equally effective as traditional metal braces. They offer the advantage of convenient removal and straightforward maintenance, including brushing and flossing.

How Orthodontics Help in Oral Health?

Orthodontic treatments offer several advantages, including:

Correcting Misalignment:

Orthodontic treatment aligns both teeth and jaws, enhancing bite functionality and decreasing the chances of tooth wear, jaw discomfort, and TMJ disorders.

Preventing Dental Problems:

Orthodontics aids in preventing dental problems like tooth decay, gum disease, and uneven wear resulting from misaligned teeth by addressing issues such as overcrowding or spacing.

Improving Oral Hygiene:

Straightened teeth facilitate easier oral hygiene maintenance, decreasing the chances of plaque buildup, cavities, and gum inflammation.

Enhancing Speech and Chewing:

Orthodontic treatment aids in resolving speech difficulties caused by misaligned teeth or jaws. Additionally, it notably enhances chewing function and contributes to improved digestion.
