Obtain a Straight and Beautiful Smile with Braces
Malocclusion is a broad term that includes the many alignment issues a smile may have, including crooked teeth, unevenly spaced teeth, or issues such as over, under, and crossbite. Even though a smile may not exhibit immediate damage or discomfort, the risk of these issues developing over time is increased. Teeth that do not match up when biting down causes uneven wear and tear and increases strain on your jaw joint and muscles. Potential harm includes broken or fractured teeth, an inability to clean teeth properly, or speech and eating issues.
At our practice, patients receive full-service orthodontic care for most cases of malocclusion. We provide a range of options for braces treatment, allowing for more personalized treatment, whether younger patients wish to have a more colorful option or older patients wish to be more discreet. Contact us to go over your full list of options.
Your Braces Options:
• Traditional Metal Braces
• Colored Brackets and Bands
• Clear Braces (Ceramic Brackets)
Phasal Orthodontics for Younger Patients
Children age seven to 11 sometimes require an initial stage of braces treatment to correct issues early on. Phase one orthodontics includes the use of traditional braces and other appliances, such as palatal expanders, to prepare the smile for their full set of adult teeth. Additionally, we offer appliances that aid in breaking poor habits, such as thumb sucking, which also helps children obtain better oral health.
Patient-Focused Orthodontic Care
Our dentist diagnoses the severity of malocclusion and matches it with a custom treatment plan. If we find a patient’s case is best suited for specialized orthodontic care, we will coordinate with a trusted local orthodontist. Throughout this process, we provide routine dental care to maintain oral health as long as you wear braces. As mentioned, we see young patients, but also extend our braces services to adults who wish to achieve a straight smile, those who have never received braces, and also individuals facing alignment relapse.
