Orthodontics

Orthodontics are an excellent way to straighten your teeth. While orthodontic treatments are used to straighten teeth for an enhanced smile, they can also help restore functionality to teeth, jaw, and bite.

The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that all children should have an evaluation with an orthodontist by the age of 7 regardless of how many teeth have erupted.

This is because orthodontists are able to predict any structural changes that may occur as your child gets older. Addressing such structural changes with braces can save your child’s smile and also prevent any additional dental issues down the road. We also offer Orthodontics for Adults.

Types of Orthodontics

Traditional Metal Braces

These are the most common form of braces. They are highly efficient at correcting complications with a smile.

Invisalign® Clear Aligners

They are clear in color, removable, and can work as effectively as traditional metal braces. They are removable and easy to manage in terms of maintenance, brushing, and flossing.

How Orthodontics Help in Oral Health?

You can rely on orthodontic treatments for the following benefits:

Correct Misalignment

Orthodontic treatment aligns teeth and jaws, improving bite functionality and reducing the risk of tooth wear, jaw pain, and TMJ disorders.

Avoids Dental Problems

Orthodontics prevents dental problems such as tooth decay, gum disease, and uneven wear caused by improper dental alignment by correcting overcrowded or spaced teeth.

Improves Oral Hygiene

Having straight teeth makes it easier to maintain oral hygiene, which in turn lowers the risk of plaque accumulation, cavities, and gum inflammation.

Improves speech and aids in chewing

Orthodontic treatment is beneficial for resolving speech difficulties that arise from misaligned teeth or jaws. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in promoting effective chewing and digestion.
