Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatments are an effective method for aligning teeth, not only enhancing smiles by straightening teeth but also contributing to the restoration of functionality in the teeth, jaw, and bite.
The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that all children undergo an orthodontic evaluation by age 7, regardless of how many teeth have erupted. This early assessment enables orthodontists to anticipate potential structural changes as children grow older. 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 orthodontic solutions tailored for adults.
Types of Orthodontics
Traditional Metal Braces
This form of braces is the most commonly utilized and highly effective in correcting irregularities in smiles.
Invisalign® Clear Aligners
Transparent in color and removable, these braces can be equally effective as traditional metal braces. They provide the advantage of easy removal and straightforward maintenance, including brushing and flossing.
How Orthodontics Help in Oral Health?
You can rely on orthodontic treatments for the following benefits:
Correct Misalignment
Orthodontic treatment aligns not only the teeth but also the jaws, improving bite functionality and reducing the risk of tooth wear, jaw discomfort, and TMJ disorders.
Avoids Dental Problems
Orthodontics aids in the prevention of dental issues such as tooth decay, gum disease, and uneven wear caused by misaligned teeth by addressing concerns like overcrowding or spacing.
Improves Oral Hygiene
Well-aligned teeth make oral hygiene maintenance easier, thereby decreasing the likelihood of plaque buildup, cavities, and gum inflammation.
Improves speech and aids in chewing
Orthodontic treatment helps rectify speech difficulties arising from misaligned teeth or jaws. Additionally, it plays a significant role in improving chewing function and enhancing digestion.
Increase Self-Confidence
Orthodontic treatment has the capacity to greatly boost self-esteem and positively influence social interactions by creating a beautiful, flawlessly aligned smile.
